The present study covers the ultrasonic patterning process to replicate micro-patterns on a polymer substrate. The ultrasonic patterning process uses ultrasonic waves to generate frictional heat between an ultrasonic horn and the polymer substrate, from which the surface region of the polymer substrate is softened sufficiently for the replication of micro-patterns. The ultrasonic patterning process can divided into two categories according to the direction of vibration transmission: direct patterning and indirect patterning. The direct patterning uses a patterned horn, and the ultrasonic vibration is transferred directly from the patterned horn to the substrate. On the contrary, the indirect patterning process uses a plain horn, and the micro-patterns are engraved on a mold that is located below the substrate. Thus, the micro-patterns are replicated as an indirect manner. In this study, these direct and indirect patterning processes are compared in terms of the replication characteristics. Additionally, the possibility of double-side patterning is also discussed in comparison with the conventional single-side patterning process.

In this study, structural variations and overlay errors caused by multiple patterning lithography techniques to print narrow parallel metal interconnects are investigated. Resistance and capacitance parasitic of the six lines of parallel interconnects printed by double patterning lithography (DPL) and triple patterning lithography (TPL) are extracted from a field solver. Wide parameter variations both in DPL and TPL processes are analyzed to determine the impact on signal propagation. Simulations of 10% parameter variations in metal lines show delay variations up to 20% and 30% in DPL and TPL, respectively. Monte Carlo statistical analysis shows that the TPL process results in 21% larger standard variation in delay than the DPL process. Crosstalk simulations are conducted to analyze the dependency on the conditions of the neighboring wires. As expected, opposite signal transitions in the neighboring wires significantly degrade the speed of signal propagation, and the impact becomes larger in the C-worst metals patterned by the TPL process compared to those patterned by the DPL process. As a result, both DPL and TPL result in large variations in parasitic and delay. Therefore, an accurate understanding of variations in the interconnect parameters by multiple patterning lithography and adding proper margins in the circuit designs is necessary.

With the synthesis of graphene sheets as large-scale and high quality, it is essentially important to develop suitable graphene patterning process for future industrial applications. Especially, transfer or patterning method of CVD-grown graphene has been studied. We report simple soft lithographic process to develop easily applicable patterning method of large-scale graphene sheets by using chemically functionalized polymer stamp. Also important applications, the prototype capacitors with graphene electrode and commercial polymer dielectrics for the electrostatic-type touch panel are fabricated using the developed soft lithographic patterning and transfer process.

Globally, the interest of renewable energy has become an upsurge. Especially, the solar industry is the one which is getting rapid growth rate. Many of researchers have been undertaking to improve the efficiency of solar cell to accomplish grid parity. The most of research has been concentrated on two methods, one on the selective emitter and the other is on LBSF (Local Back Surface Field) formation. Laser patterning will be needed to eliminate the thin film to form selective emitter and LBSF of solar cell. This paper reports some experimental results in laser patterning process for high-efficiency crystalline solar cell manufacturing. The experimental results indicate that the patterning quality depends on the average power and repetition rate of laser. The experimental results prove that the laser patterning process is an advantageous method to improve the efficiency of solar cell.

Wearable multi-sensors based on nanocrystals have attracted significant attention, and studies on patterning technology to implement such multi-sensors are underway. Conventional patterning processes may affect material properties based on high temperatures and harsh chemical conditions. In this study, we developed an inkjet printing technique that can overcome these drawbacks through the application of patterning processes at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Nanocrystal-based ink is used to adjust properties efficiently. Additionally, the viscosity and surface tension of the solvents are investigated and optimized to increase patterning performance. In the patterning process, the electrical, electrothermal, and electromechanical properties of the nanocrystal pattern are controlled by the ligand exchange process. Experimental results demonstrate that a multi-sensor with a temperature coefficient of resistance of 3.82 × 10^-3 K^-1 and gauge factor of 30.6 can be successfully fabricated using one-step inkjet printing.

Previous studies to enhance optical properties of opto-electronic devices involve patterning of inorganic materials. Patterning of inorganic material usually encompasses vacuum process that hinders productivity and increases cost. In this research, we successfully formed nano patterns with polymer matrix and fabricated photonic crystals. This process is anticipated to increase the performance of opto-electronic devices without any vacuum process. Moreover, nano imprint technology reduces cost and bolsters productivity.

Photo-induced surface alignment is charming as a non-contact photo-patternable alignment technology which can be used in the next generation of displays, such as large area, multi-domain. For decades, many polymer film have been investigated and developed to be used in the photo alignment. Among these photoreactive materials, recently developed polyimide, Chloromethylated Polyimide(CMPI) now became the focus of interests in this area because of its high photosensitivity and superior thermal stability. In this report, we present micro patterning method to form the nanoscale structure by Mask-Less laser patterning using this CMPI film and NSOM probe.

본 연구에서 연속형 레이저와 나노초 레이저의 경우에는 고분자와 물성 조건이 맞지 않아서, 고분자 필름 표면에 특정 패터닝이 구현되지 않았다. 그러나, 펨토초 레이저를 활용하여 HDPE, PP, PET 등의 식품포장 필름의 표면에 패터닝이 구현됨을 확인하였다. 따라서, 본 연구에서 식품포장 필름에서 펨토초 레이저 패터닝 공정 조건을 확립하였고, 싱글 펄스에 의한 대면적 원형 패턴, 싱글 펄스를 30%를 중첩한 대면적 거칠기 패턴, 직선 패턴, 직선 패터닝을 중첩한 대면적 거칠기 패턴, 직선 패터닝을 교차하여 격자 패턴 등의 표면 패터닝 필름을 제작하였다. 또한, 표면 패턴 구조와 크기에 따른 패터닝 HDPE, PP, PET 필름은 SEM, AFM, 접촉각 분석을 통하여 그 특성을 확인하였다. 펨토초 레이저 패터닝을 하지 않은 각 대조군 필름의 표면 대비 대면적 원형 패터닝 HDPE 및 PP 필름, 싱글 펄스를 30%를 중첩한 대면적 거칠기 패터닝 및 직선 패터닝을 중첩한 대면적 거칠기 패터닝 PET 필름의 표면은 27.1-37.5°의 접촉각을 나타냄으로써, 패터닝 후에 HDPE, PP, PET 필름은 친수성 표면으로 변화되었다. 반면, 나노-마이크로 크기의 돌기 표면구조를 갖고 있는 대면적 격자 패터닝 HDPE 필름의 경우에는 120.4°의 접촉각을 보임으로써, 패터닝 후에 소수성 표면으로 변화되었다. 따라서, 패터닝을 통해 친수성 표면으로 바뀐 필름들은 단백질, 세포, 바이러스 등을 비롯하여 식품의 물질들이 달라붙지 못하거나, 쉽게 떨어지는 엔티파울링 응용분야에 활용이 가능하다. 또한, 향후 좀더 정밀한 나노 및 마이크로 돌기 구조를 갖는 격자 패터닝을 통해 150° 이상의 초소수성 표면을 제작하게 된다면, 자가 청소(Self-cleaning) 등의 초소수성 표면 응용분야에 활용 가능할 것이다.

Patterning of biological molecules was attempted on both gold and glass using fourth generation (G4) poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimer as an interfacing layer between solid surfaces and biomolecules. As for the patterning of avidin and anti-biotin antibody on gold, PAMAM dendrimers representing amine functionalities were firstly printed onto the 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid SAM by microcontact printing, followed by biotinylation, and reacted with fluorescence-labeled avidin or anti-biotin antibody. Fluorescence microscopic analysis revealed that the patterns of avidin and anti-biotin antibody were well constructed with the resolution of < 2 ㎛. The PAMAM dendrimers were also printed onto aldehyde-activated slide glass and reacted directly with anti-BSA antibodies, which had been oxidized with sodium periodate. As a result, distinct patterns of the anti-BSA antibodies were also obtained with a comparable edge resolution to that of avidin patterns on gold. These results clearly show that PAMAM dendrimers can be adopted as an interfacing layer for the patterning of biological molecules on solid surfaces with micrometer resolution.

As an active emission display using emissive polymer has had much attention recently, needs for a selective patterning of emissive layer for those displays have been increased abruptly. Therefore, the various laser sources in terms of its wavelength has been used for laser direct patterning. In this work, the feasibility of those processes is examined using numerical analysis and the experimental investigation. A sample has multi-layered structure, emissive polymer on aluminum which is deposited on a glass substrate. Key factors for optimizing the laser patterning of the emissive polymer are considered into the control of ablation products, large-sized particle, and the choice of the appropriate wavelength for minimizing the heat affected zone and the remnant layer.
