A method for fabricating two‐component micropatterned polymer thin films is described, in which two different polymer systems can be laterally patterned onto a single surface. Chemically patterned surfaces are used to direct the adsorption of the polymer films through ionic and other secondary forces. The multilayers can be doped, e.g., with dyes (see Figure) and used in microdevices.
