A General Approach to Patterning Micron-Scale Particles

MRS Online Proceedings Library volume 947, Article number: 324 (2006) Cite this article

Abstract

Multiple techniques have been developed to assemble micro- or nanostructured materials into well-defined patterns. These techniques are, however, often dependent on the size, shape, composition and/or surface chemistry of the structures being patterned. We have developed a general approach to pattern materials with a wide range of physical and chemical characteristics. We are able to assemble these materials into isolated or interconnected patterns covering areas up to ∼1 mm2.
