Patterning 2D Metallic Surfaces by Soft Lithography
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 March 2011
Abstract
In this study, we report on the development of a μCP technique, where the ink used on the surface of the stamp is made of aminopropyl trimethoxy silane (APTMS). The stamps for the μCP are prepared by polymerizing polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) on photolithographically defined masters. Si wafers were used as the substrate on which a self assembled layer of APTMS was formed at the contact regions of the stamp. The regions of contact were subsequently used for the deposition of gold coated magnetite nanoparticles, resulting in 2D patterned metallic surfaces. The colloidal particles were analyzed by TEM and XRD, and the printed substrates were characterized by AFM.
