A method of making a patterned metal oxide film includes jetting a sol-gel solution on a substrate. The sol-gel solution is dried to form a gel layer on the substrate. Portions of the gel layer are irradiated to pattern the gel layer and to form exposed portions. Irradiation causes the exposed portions of the gel layer to become at least one of substantially condensed to an oxide, substantially densified, substantially cured, and combinations thereof. The unexposed portions of the gel layer are removed, thereby forming the patterned metal oxide film.
