Abstract

In this paper, the development process of an unique and creative micro/nano-structure fabrication technique based on micro/nano-tribology are reviewed and discussed. The so-called Mechano-Chemical Process(MCP), which has been developed since 1995 by Tribology Research Laboratory at Yonsei University with the motivation to overcome the demerits of the conventional photolithographic techniques, is based on the fundamental understanding of the interaction between the tool tip and the workpiece surface. This process is a maskless process which offers tremendous flexibility in surface patterns that can be created on a workpiece surface without using any capital intensive equipment. It Is capable of fabricating the prototypes of micro/nano-components, micro- structured surface with various geometries, micro-molds for making polymer or metal parts, and micro-fluidic channels for lab-on-a- chip
