A method of fabricating or manufacturing on a micrometer and nanometer scale by spatially depositing chemicals to form a solid phase array on a substrate (10), comprising the formation of an electrostatic latent image Defining at least one region (15) by forming an electrostatic charge in at least one region on the substrate that is different from charges in other regions of the substrate; and applying an emulsion to the substrate; Including methods. The emulsion (16) has a charged discontinuous phase and a component to be selectively deposited which is supported in or comprises the discontinuous phase. This discontinuous layer of emulsion is attracted to a preselected region by being attracted by an electrostatic charge on the region, resulting in deposition with or without reaction. By using a photoconductor, an electrostatic image can be formed. The formed array may be for flat screen display panels, for manufacturing DNA chips, printed circuits, semiconductor chips, nanotechnology, microelectromechanical systems, flexible printed circuits, etc. It may be.
