We report that the diffraction limit of conventional optical lithography can be overcome by exploiting the transitions of organic photochromic derivatives induced by their photoisomerization at low light intensities.^1-3 This paper outlines our fabrication technique and two locking mechanisms, namely: dissolution of one photoisomer and electrochemical oxidation.

Nongyi Cheng^1,2, Trisha L. Andrew^2,3

¹Department of Chemistry, University of Wisconsin-Madison, ²Department of Chemistry, University of Massachusetts Amherst, ³Department of Polymer Science and Engineering, University of Massachusetts Amherst

This paper presents a protocol for reactive vapor deposition of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), poly(3,4-propylenedioxythiophene), and poly(thieno[3,2-b]thiophene) films on glass slides and rough substrates, such as textiles and paper.
