박테리아 패터닝을 위한 혼성 아가로즈젤 마이크로 스탬프는 PDMS 몰드를 이용한 replica moding 공정을 이용하여 제작하였다. 완성된 스탬프를 박테리아를 잉크로 사용한 후, $50{\mu}m$ 원 모양을 가지는 2차원 박테리아 어레이를 구현할 수 있었다. 또한, 상기 방법을 통하여 실험 목적에 적합한 다양한 모양을 가지는 패턴을 쉽게 만들 수 있다. 패터닝된 박테리아의 형광 세기는 스팟과 주변간에 매우 높은 대조비를 이루며, 각각의 스팟 및 스팟간의 형광 세기가 매우 균일함을 보여 프린팅 시 매우 균일한 패턴을 얻을 수 있었다. 박테리아 패터닝을 할 경우 큰 문제점인 낮은 젖음성과 미끄럽고 작은 아가로즈젤 마이크로 스탬프를 취급의 어려움을 본 연구에서 제안한 혼성 아가로즈젤 마이크로 스탬프를 이용하여 해결할 수 있었다. 상기 방법의 가장 큰 장점은 세포를 이용한 패터닝의 경우 세포의 활성을 유지시키는 것인데 다량의 수분을 포함하는 아가로즈젤을 사용할 경우 세포의 활성을 유지시키면서 패턴을 구현할 수 있으므로 매우 중요한 기술로 생각된다. 본 연구에서 제안된 방법은 매우 재현성이 높으며, 편리하고, 빠르게 구현할 수 있어서 미생물 생태학, 세포와 표면간의 상호작용 그리고 세포를 바탕으로 하는 스크리닝 시스템에 활용 되어 질것으로 기대된다.

본 논문에서는 금속 전극을 미세접촉인쇄방식으로 Ag ink를 이용하여 제작하는데 있어서 접착속도, 분리속도, 접촉시간의 세 가지의 동역학적 파라미터가 잉크 전이율에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 최적의 공정조건을 도출하였다. 잉킹공정에서는 접촉속도는 1 mm/s 이하, 접촉 후 유지시간은 짧게 하며, 분리속도는 1000 mm/s로 빠르게 해야 잉크의 전이율이 98%이상 높았다. 프린팅 공정에서는 반대로 접촉속도는 100mm/s 이상의 빠르게, 접촉 후 유지시간은 30초 이상, 분리속도는 1mm/s 이하로 느리게 할 때 최고의 인쇄특성을 보였다. 이를 이용해 전체 $5cm{\times}5cm$ 면적에 최소 선폭 $30{\mu}m$, 두께는 300~500nm, 50nm이하의 약 $15{\sim}16{\mu\Omega\cdot}cm$ 비저항을 가지는 전극을 인쇄하였다.

This paper describes the simple nanopatterning of proteins on polyelectrolyte surfaces using microcontact printing with a nanopatternable, hydrophilic composite nanomold. The composite nanomold was easily fabricated by blending two UV-curable materials composed of Norland Optical Adhesives(NOA) 63 and poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate(PEG-DMA). NOA 63 provided stable nanostructure formation and PEG-DMA induced high wettability of proteins in the nanomold. Using the composite mold and functionalized surface with polyelectrolytes, the fluorescent, isothiocyanate-tagged, bovine serum albumin(FITC-BSA) was successfully patterned with 8 nm height and 500 nm width. To confirm the feasibility of the protein assay on a nanoscale, a glycoprotein-lectin assay was successfully demonstrated as a model system. As expected, the lectins correctly recognized the nano-patterned glycoproteins such as chicken ovalbumin. The simple preparation of composite nanomold and functionalized surface with a universal platform can be applied to various biomolecules such as DNA, proteins, carbohydrates, and other biomolecules on a nanoscale.

We demonstrate two very simple and fast routes to fabricating ordered micro/nanopatterns of polymers over large areas on various substrates using controlled dewetting. The first method is based on utilizing microimprinting to induce the local thickness variation of an initially inverted bilayer which allows the controlled dewetting and partial layer inversion upon subsequent thermal annealing. In the second method, the self assembly of block copolymer was controlled on a chemically micropatterned surface produced by microcontact printing, being combined with its solvent vapor treatment. The kinetically driven, non-lithographical nanopattern structures were easily fabricated over large area by these approaches.

Titanium oxide (TiO2) thin films have valuable properties such as a high refractive index, excellent transmittance in the visible and near-IR frequency, and high chemical stability. Therefore it is extensively used in anti-reflection coating, sensor, and photocatalysis as electrical and optical applications. Specially, TiO2 have a high dielectric constant of 180 along the c axis and 90 along the a axis, so it is highlighted in fabricating dielectric capacitors in micro electronic devices. A variety of methods have been used to produce patterned self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), including microcontact printing ($\mu$CP), UV-photolithotgraphy, e-beam lithography, scanned-probe based micro-machining, and atom-lithography. Above all, thin film fabrication on $\mu$CP modified surface is a potentially low-cost, high-throughput method, because it does not require expensive photolithographic equipment, and it produce micrometer scale patterns in thin film materials. The patterned SAMs were used as thin resists, to transfer patterns onto thin films either by chemical etching or by selective deposition. In this study, we deposited TiO2 thin films on Si (1000 substrateds using titanium (IV) isopropoxide ([Ti(O(C3H7)4)] ; TIP as a single molecular precursor at deposition temperature in the range of 300-$700^{\circ}C$ without any carrier and bubbler gas. Crack-free, highly oriented TiO2 polycrystalline thin films with anatase phase and stoichimetric ratio of Ti and O were successfully deposited on Si(100) at temperature as low as 50$0^{\circ}C$. XRD and TED data showed that below 50$0^{\circ}C$, the TiO2 thin films were dominantly grown on Si(100) surfaces in the [211] direction, whereas with increasing the deposition temperature to $700^{\circ}C$, the main films growth direction was changed to be [200]. Two distinct growth behaviors were observed from the Arhenius plots. In addition to deposition of THe TiO2 thin films on Si(100) substrates, patterning of TiO2 thin films was also performed at grown temperature in the range of 300-50$0^{\circ}C$ by MOCVD onto the Si(100) substrates of which surface was modified by organic thin film template. The organic thin film of SAm is obtained by the $\mu$CP method. Alpha-step profile and optical microscope images showed that the boundaries between SAMs areas and selectively deposited TiO2 thin film areas are very definite and sharp. Capacitance - Voltage measurements made on TiO2 films gave a dielectric constant of 29, suggesting a possibility of electronic material applications.

This study presented facile method of cell patterning using fabricated PDMS patterns on polyelectrolyte coated surface. This basic principle is the fabrication of functional surface presenting two orthogonal surfaces such as cell adhesive and repellent properties. Cell adhesive surface was firstly fabricated with simple coating of polyelectrolyte multilayer. And then, the desired patterns of PDMS for the prevention of nonspecific binding of cells were transferred onto the previously formed thin film of polyelectrolyte multilayer. Thus, we could prepare novel functional surface simultaneously containing PDMS and polyelectrolyte region. As expected, the PDMS regions showed effective prevention of nonspecific binding of cell and the other region, exposed polyelectrolyte area, provided cell adhesive environment. The height of formed PDMS structure was about 100 nm. Based on this method, cell patterning can be successfully obtained with various pattern shapes and sizes. Therefore, we expect that this simple method will be useful platform technology for the development of cell chip, cell based assay system, and biochip.

We constructed a biospecific affinity surface using hyper-branched dendrimers on gold for biospecific recognition, and characterized the resulting surfaces by using confocal fluorescence microscopy. The dendrimer monolayer was firstly constructed on the mercaptoundecanoic acid SAM/Au with pentafluorophenyl ester activation and further functionalized with sulfo-NHS-biotin, an activated ester of biotin. To confirm the formation of biospecific affinity surface, FITC(fluorescein isothiocyanate)-labeled avidin was loaded onto the biotinylated dendrimer monolayer, and fluorescence images of the bound avidins were investigated with a confocal microscope. The constructed biospecific affinity surface showed a much more dense and uniform fluorescence compared to those from poly-L-lysine- and cystamine SAM-based affinity surfaces. For the dependency on the concentration of added FITC-labeled avidin on the affinity surface, derived fluorescence could be detectable from as low as $1{\mu}g/ml$, and intensified up to $50{\mu}g/ml$. Further reaction of FITC-labeled avidin layer with TMR(tetramethylrhodamine)-biocytins resulted in the efficient FRET(fluorescence resonance energy transfer) phenomenon. As an extension of the study, we attempted a patterning of the affinity surfaces on gold by microcontact printing. Fluorescence of the patterned surface demonstrated that FITC-labeled avidin molecules were specifically bound to the biotinylated patches.
