ABSTRACTThe patterning of gold and silver micro and nanostructures on rigid and flexible substrates is investigated by microcontact printed thiol based self-assembled monolayers. The aspect ratio of the noble metal micro and nanostructures is determined by interaction of the -SH head group of the CH3(CH2)19SH molecules and the surface of the noble metal. Silver micro and nanostructures with >10 times higher aspect ratios can be realized in comparison to commonly realized gold micro and nanostructures. The printing process is described, and the etching process is characterized in terms of etching window and etching selectivity. Potential electronic and photonic applications of the micro and nanostructures are discussed taking the boundary conditions of the printing process and the selected material system into consideration.

The gate, source, and drain electrodes of organic thin-film transistor(OTFT) to use as a switching device for a flexible display was fabricated in microcontact printing process with hard poly(dimethylsiloxane)(h-PDMS) stamp. The OTFT with thin-film dielectric layer of parylene-C(4300Å, 5000Å, 6500Å, 7500Å, and 9000Å) were formed using special coating system, and organic semiconductor layer was ink-jet printing process at room temperature. The microcontact printing process using self-assembled monolayer(SAM) and h-PDMS stamp made it possible to fabricate OTFT with channel length down to 600nm, fabricated thin film electrode of Au/Cr (100nm/5nm), and reduced the fabrication process by 20steps compared with photolithography process. Since the fabrication process was done in room temperature, there was no appeared such as pattern shrinkage, pattern transformation and bending problem.

Benzylamine tartrate (m.p. 63°C) seems to be a better and more convenient substrate for making carbon films than any of those previously proposed. Using it in the manner described, it is easy consistently to make batches of specimen grids as open as 200 mesh with no broken squares, and without individual handling of the grids. Benzylamine tartrate (hereafter called B.T.) is a viscous liquid when molten, which sets to a glass. Unlike polymeric substrates it does not swell before dissolving; such swelling of the substrate seems to be a principal cause of breakage of carbon film. Mass spectroscopic examination indicates a vapor pressure less than 10−9 Torr at room temperature.
