Recently, there has been much focus on the controlled alignment and patterning process of nanowires for nanoelectronic devices. A simple and effective method for patterning of highly aligned nanowires using a microcontact printing technique is demonstrated. In this method, nanowires are first directionally aligned by contact printing, following which line and space micropatterns of nanowire arrays are accomplished by microcontact printing with a micro patterned NOA mold.

Printed organic thin-film transistor(OTFT) to use as a switching device for an organic light emitting diode(OLED) were fabricated in the microcontact printing and direct printing processes at room temperature. The gate electrodes($5{\mu}m$, $10{\mu}m$, and $20{\mu}m$) of OTFT was fabricated using microcontact printing process, and source/drain electrodes ($W/L=500{\mu}m/5{\mu}m$, $500{\mu}m/10{\mu}m$, and $500{\mu}m/20{\mu}m$) was fabricated using direct printing process with hard poly(dimethylsiloxane)(h-PDMS) stamp. Printed OTFT with dielectric layer was formed using special coating system and organic semiconductor layer was ink-jet printing process. Microcontact printing and direct printing processes using h-PDMS stamp made it possible to fabricate printed OTFT with channel lengths down to $5{\mu}m$, and reduced the process by 20 steps compared with photolithography. As results of measuring he transfer characteristics and output characteristics of OTFT fabricated with the printing process, the field effect characteristic was verified.

In this work, we developed a high resolution printing technique based on transferring a pattern from a PDMS stamp to a Pd and Au substrate by microcontact printing Also, we fabricated various 2D metallic and polymeric nano patterns with the feature resolution of sub-micrometer scale by using the method of microcontact printing (${\mu}$CP) based on soft lithography. Silicon masters for the micro molding were made by e-beam lithography. Composite poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) molds were composed of a thin, hard layer supported by soft PDMS layer. From this work, it is certificated that composite PDMS mold and undercutting technique play an important role in the generation of a clear SAM nanopattern on Pd and Au substrate.

The flexible organic thin film transistor (OTFT) array to use as a switching device for an organic light emitting diode (OLED) was designed and fabricated in the microcontact printing and low-temperature processes. The gate, source, and drain electrode patterns of OTFT were fabricated by microcontact printing which is high-resolution lithography technology using polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) stamp. The OTFT array with dielectric layer and organic active semiconductor layers formed at room temperature or at a temperature tower than $40^{\circ}C$. The microcontact printing process using SAM(self-assembled monolayer) and PDMS stamp made it possible to fabricate OTFT arrays with channel lengths down to even nano size, and reduced the procedure by 10 steps compared with photolithography. Since the process was done in low temperature, there was no pattern transformation and bending problem appeared. It was possible to increase close packing of molecules by SAM, to improve electric field mobility, to decrease contact resistance, and to reduce threshold voltage by using a big dielecric.

Zn(NO$_3$)$_2$ 수용액과 urea[CO(NH$_2$)$_2$]를 이용한 침전법과 Self-Assembled Monolayers(SAMs)를 이용한 microcontact printing 방법으로 미세 패턴화된 ZnO 박막을 Al/si0$_2$/si 기판 위에 제조하였다. Zn(NO$_3$)$_2$와 urea를 혼합하여 제조한 Zn(OH)$_2$ 박막은 침전온도와 urea 량이 증가할수록 Zn(OH)$_2$의 침전량이 증가하였고 Zn(NO$_3$)$_2$와 urea의 반응 시간이 증가함에 따라, Zn(OH)$_2$ 박막의 두께와 입자 크기가 증가하였다. Zn(NO$_3$)$_2$와 urea의 혼합비를 1 : 8, 용액의 침전 온도를 오일 bath내에서 8$0^{\circ}C$, 반응시간을 1시간으로 하여 Al/SiO$_2$/Si 기판 위에 침전된 Zn(OH)$_2$ 박막을 $600^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 동안 열처리하여, 미세 패턴을 형성하기 위한 균질한 크기의 ZnO 박막을 제조할 수 있었다. Microcontact printing방법으로 소수성과 친수성 SAMs인 Octadecylphosphonic Acid(OPA)와 2-Carboxyethylphosphonic Acid(CPA)를 각각 Al/SiO$_2$/Si 기판 위에 선택적으로 흡착한 후에 친수성 SAM인 CPA위에 Zn(OH)$_2$를 침전시켜 미세 패턴화된 ZnO 박막을 제조할 수 있었다

A protein array was fabricated for a miniaturized immunoassay using microcontact printing ($\mu$CP). A polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) stamp with a 5 $\mu$m$\times$5 /$\mu$m dimension was molded from a silicon master developed by photolithography. Under optimal fabrication conditions, including the baking, incubation, and exposure time, a silicon master was successfully fabricated with a definite aspect ratio. An antibody fragment was utilized as the ink for the $\mu$CP, and transferred to an Au substrate because of the Au-thiol (-SH) interaction. The immobilization and antibody-antigen interaction were investigated with fluorescence microscopy. When human serum albumin (HSA) was applied to the protein array fabricated with an antibody against HSA, the detection limit was 100 pg/ml of HSA when using a secondary antibody labeled with a fluorescence tag. The fabricated protein array maintained its activity for 14 days.

Microcontact printing (uCP) of alkanethiols on gold was the first representative of soft-lithography processes. This is an attempt to enhance the accuracy of classical to a precision comparable with optical lithography, creating a low-cost, large-area, and high-resolution patterning process. Microcontact printing relies on replication of a pattered PDMS stamp from a master to form an elastic stamp that can be inked with a SAM solution(monolayer -forming ink) using either immersion inking or contact inking. The inked PDMS stamp is then used to print a pattern that selectively protects the gold substrate during the subsequent etch.
