14. One can foresee that future CD-ROMs with much smaller bit patterns can be mass produced by stamping methods, in ways similar to today's manufacturing techniques for CDs. Examples of 100 and 25 nm patterns produced by microcontact printing are: Y. Xia, X. M. Zhao, and G. M. Whitesides, Microelectron. Eng. 32, 255 (1996); S. Y. Chou, P. R. Krauss, and P. J.
