  • Numerical simulation is performed for a microdroplet deposition on the pre-patterned micro-structure. The liquid-air interface is tracked by level set method improved by incorporating the ghost fluid approach based on a sharp-interface representation. The method is further extended to treat the contact angle condition at an immersed solid surface. The present computation of a patterning process using microdroplet ejection demonstrates that the multiphase characteristics between the liquid-gas-solid phases can be used to overcome the patterning error.

  • We report experimental results on the periodic patterning using a Ti:sapphire femtosecond laser (800nm, 100fs, 1kHz). Periodic structures with reproducible basic patterns are produced both on the surface and inside transparent materials. Period patterning for the application to display panel is widely investigated. Also, the submicron dot and line patterns are fabricated inside fused silica glass, which is important for the formation of diffraction grating in integrated optical circuit. finally, we demonstrate the utility of the femtosecond laser application to optical memory by fabricating the three-dimensional dot patterns.

  • Numerical simulation is performed for microdroplet deposition on a pre-patterned micro-structure. The liquid-air interface is tracked by a level-set method, which is improved by incorporating a sharp-interface modeling technique for accurately enforcing the matching conditions at the liquid-gas interface and the no-slip condition at the fluid-solid interface. The method is further extended to treat the contact angle condition at an immersed solid surface. The present computation of a patterning process using microdroplet ejection demonstrates that the multiphase characteristics between the liquid-gas-solid phases can be used to improve the patterning accuracy.

  • The fabrication of mold fur nano imprint lithography (NIL) is experimentally reported using the scanning probe lithography (SPL) technique, instead of the conventional I-beam lithography technique. The nanometer scale patterning structure is fabricated by the localized generation of oxide patterning on the silicon (100) wafer surface with a thin oxide layer, The fabrication method is based on the contact mode of scanning probe microscope (SPM) in air, The precision cleaning process is also performed to reach the low roughness value of $R_{rms}=0.084 nm$, which is important to increase the reproducibility of patterning. The height and width of the oxide dot are generated to be 15.667 nm and 209.5 nm, respectively, by applying 17 V during 350 ms.

  • Graphene, two dimensional single layer of carbon atoms, has tremendous attention due to its superior property such as high electron mobility, high thermal conductivity and optical transparency. Especially, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) grown graphene has been used as a promising material for high quality and large-scale graphene film. Unfortunately, although CVD-grown graphene has strong advantages, application of the CVD-grown graphene is limited due to ineffective transfer process that delivers the graphene onto a desired substrate by using polymer support layer such as PMMA(polymethyl methacrylate). The transferred CVD-grown graphene has serious drawback due to remaining polymeric residues generated during transfer process, which induces the poor physical and electrical characteristics by a p-doping effect and impurity scattering. To solve such issue incurred during polymer transfer process of CVD-grown graphene, various approaches including thermal annealing, chemical cleaning, mechanical cleaning have been tried but were not successful in getting rid of polymeric residues. On the other hand, lithographical patterning of graphene is an essential step in any form of microelectronic processing and most of conventional lithographic techniques employ photoresist for the definition of graphene patterns on substrates. But, application of photoresist is undesirable because of the presence of residual polymers that contaminate the graphene surface consistent with the effects generated during transfer process. Therefore, in order to fully utilize the excellent properties of CVD-grown graphene, new approach of transfer and patterning techniques which can avoid polymeric residue problem needs to be developed. In this work, we carried out transfer and patterning process simultaneously with no polymeric residue by using a metal etch mask. The patterned thin gold layer was deposited on CVD-grown graphene instead of photoresists in order to make much cleaner and smoother surface and then transferred onto a desired substrate with PMMA, which does not directly contact with graphene surface. We compare the surface properties and patterning morphology of graphene by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy(AFM) and Raman spectroscopy. Comparison with the effect of residual polymer and metal on performance of graphene FET will be discussed.

  • We present investigations of the surface micromachining for transparent glass substrate, e.g. soda lime glass using tightly focused 800nm Ti:sapphire femtosecond laser. In this study, experiment conditions such as laser intensity, scanning speed, focus position were controlled as variable parameters to decide optimal machining conditions. This study shows clearly that laser intensity and scanning speed are dominant factors for good surface morphology. Using the optimal conditions, grooves with 50${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ line width were fabricated on glass substrate and their surface morphologies were investigated from SEM image.

  • This study developed the conductivity pattern of solid surface using laser direct pattern and compound polymer material technology. For development direct patterning system of solid surface, we used the laser power stabilizer, the dynamic focusing, 3D scanner S/W and the auto aligning techniques. Also For conductivity pattern, we are developed compound polymer material with additive by electro-less plating. These technologies are already used commercially. However operation and control integrated system for direct patterning of solid surface are not yet developed. The objective of this paper is to introduce the laser direct structuring for simple process improvement instead complex PCB process, and develop the operating stability and integration system. Also we implemented new application of laser direct structuring through sample manufacture.

  • In this study, we demonstrated that the soft lithographic patterning processing of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) graphene and rGO sheets as large scale, low cost, high quality and simplicity for future industrial applications. Recently, a previous study has reported that single layer graphene grown via CVD was patterned and transferred to a target surface by controlling the surface energy of the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) stamp [1]. Using this approach, the surface of a relief-patterned elastomeric stamp was functionalized with hydrophilic dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) molecules to enhance the surface energy of the stamp and to remove the graphene-based layer from the initial substrate and transfer it to a target surface [2]. Further, we developed a soft lithographic patterning process via surface energy modification for advanced graphene-based flexible devices such as transistors or simple and efficient chemical sensor consisting of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and a metallic nanoparticle composite. A flexible graphene-based device on a biocompatible silk fibroin substrate, which is attachable to an arbitrary target surface, was also successfully fabricated.
