  • We introduced a promising patterned substrate by using a microcontact printing method that can be used for SERS immunoassays based on antigen-antibody binding. SERS spectrum of the Raman reporter with antibody, which is rhodamine 6G (R6G) adsorbed on colloidal gold nanoparticles, was observed only for the surfaces in which prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is present on the substrate that is attached to an immobilized layer of antibody on the gold nanoparticles layer of the patterned substrate. Raman mapping images clearly showed that the antibodies on the Raman reporter were successfully and selectively conjugated with the antigen on the patterned substrate. This method could be potentially extended to multi-protein detections and ultrasensitive biosensors.

  • In general, organic TFTs are comprised of four components: gate electrode, gate dielectric, organic active semiconductor layer, and source and drain contacts. The TFT current, in turn, is typically determined by channel length and width, carrier field effect mobility, gate dielectric thickness and permittivity, contact resistance, and biasing conditions. More recently, a number of techniques and processes have been introduced to the fabrication of OTFT circuits and displays that aim specifically at reduced fabrication cost. These include microcontact printing for the patterning of metals and dielectrics, the use of photochemically patterned insulating and conducting films, and inkjet printing for the selective deposition of contacts and interconnect pattern. In the fabrication of organic TFTs, microcontact printing has been used to pattern gate electrodes, gate dielectrics, and source and drain contacts with sufficient yield to allow the fabrication of transistors. We were fabricated a pentacene OTFTs on flexible PEN film. Au/Cr was used for the gate electrode, parylene-c was deposited as the gate dielectric, and Au/Cr was chosen for the source and drain contacts; were all deposited by ion-beam sputtering and patterned by microcontact printing and lift-off process. Prior to the deposition of the organic active layer, the gate dielectric surface was treated with octadecyltrichlorosilane(OTS) from the vapor phase. To complete the device, pentacene was deposited by thermal evaporation and patterned using a parylene-c layer. The device was shown that the carrier field effect mobility, the threshold voltage, the subthreshold slope, and the on/off current ratio were improved.

  • An antibody layer was fabricated to detect Escherichia coli O157:H7. The micropattern of 16-mercaptohexadecanoic acid (16-MHDA) as alkylthiolate was formed on the gold surface by using the PDMS stamp with microcontact printing $({\mu}CP)$ techniques. In order to form antibody patterns on the template, protein G was chemically bound to the 16-MHDA patterns, and antibody was adsorbed on a self-assembled protein G layer. The formation of the 16-MHDA micropattern, self-assembled protein G layer and antibody pattern on Au substrate was confirmed by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy. Finally, the micropatterning method was applied to fabricate the antibody probe for detection of E. coli O157:H7, and monitoring of antigen by using this probe was successfully achieved.

  • This paper examines attaching speed, detaching speed and contact time which affected in the ink transfer ratio and presents the best conditions for fabrication process of electrodes with Ag-ink using microcontact printing method. In conclusion, it shows the best printing characteristic by two conditions. One of condition is the attaching speed have to within less than 1mm/s and the detaching speed is high velocity as 1000mm/s and the contact time is taken about the minimum time when inking process. Another condition is the attaching speed have to within more than 100mm/s and the detaching speed have to within less than 1mm/s and the contact time is longer than 30second when the printing process. As using these condition and the stamp sized 5cm${\times}$5cm, it was possible for printing equally until $30{\mu}m$ of width. The printed thickness of a electrode was about 300 to 500 nm, the surface roughness was about dozens nm under 50 nm.

  • Selective deposition was performed on a micrometer trench pattern using a microcontact printing (μCP) process. Alkanethiols required for selective deposition were analyzed according to the carbon chain by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV). According to the LSV analysis, the effect of inhibiting Cu deposition depending on the length of the carbon chain was observed. During the Cu electrodeposition, the trench could be filled without voids by additives (PEG, SPS, JGB) in the plating solution. A μCP process suppressing the deposition of the sample was used for selective Cu electrodeposition. However, there was oxidation and instability of the sample and 1-hexadecanethiol in air. To overcome these problems, the μCP method was performed in a glove box to achieve effective inhibition.
