More Information
Summary:Some embodiments of the disclosed surface patterning systems and methods utilize a surface patterning tool coupled to a support and adapted to deposit material onto a substrate, a controller, and first, second, and third actuators electrically coupled to and controlled by the controller. In some embodiments, the first, second, and third actuators are operable to move the substrate in X, Y, and Z directions, respectively, with respect to the surface patterning tool, wherein the substrate is movable by the first, second, and third actuators to different positions with respect to the surface patterning tool, and wherein material is transferable from the surface patterning tool to the substrate in each of the different positions to define the desired surface pattern. One or more of the actuators in some of the disclosed embodiments are piezoelectric actuators.
