Actually, it won't stick to stainless steel, so if you see a pan claiming to be teflon-coated stainless steel, that's not entirely true. Teflon will bond to aluminum and aluminum will bond to stainless steel, so teflon-coated stainless steel actually has a layer of aluminum between the teflon and the steel. I'm not sure the teflon is simply "stuck against" the aluminum like food is "stuck against" a non-coated pan. I think it's "bonded" more like chemicals are bonded together to make a molecule. I have a feeling the precise process is a trade secret so a google search might not yield much.
