2. SAMs are much preferred as grafting and imaging layers over direct modification of the existing substrate surface because they: 1) permit tuning of the surface chemistry while preserving useful bulk properties of the substrate, such as transparency and thermal or electrical conductivity; and 2) do not suffer from poor transparency and depth-of-focus issues associated with deep UV-patterning due to their molecular thickness.
