It uses chemical processes to create an image. Parts of an image:
Positive part - Hydrophobic water hating substance.
Negative image - Hydrophilic "water loving substance.
When the plate is introduced to printing ink and water mixture, theink will adhere to the positive image and the water will clean thenegative image.
This allows a flat print plate to be used, enabling much longer andmore detailed print runs.

1.CLEANING
To remove Organic or Inorganic contaminations present on the wafer surface
Usually by Wet chemical treatment
2.PREPARATION Heat treatment to remove moisture from wafer. Adhesion promoters added to promote adhesion of photoresist on wafer.
EX: ADHESION PROMOTER hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS)
Silicon dioxide layer on the wafer reacts with the agent to form Methylated Silicon-hydroxide, a highly water repellent layer, to protect from aqueous developers.

3.Photoresist application The wafer is covered with photo resist by spin coating.
A viscous, liquid solution of photo resist is dispensed onto the
wafer, and the wafer is spun rapidly to produce a uniformly thicklayer.
Speed - 1200 -4800 rpm Time - 30-60 seconds Layer Thickness - 0.5-2.5 micrometres
Prebaked:The photo resist-coated wafer is then prebakedto driveoff excess photoresist solvent
Temp - 90 to 100 C Time - 30 to 60 seconds

4. Exposure and developing Photoresist is exposed to a pattern of intense light (Through Mask).
Photolithography typically uses ultraviolet light.
A pattern from the mask is copied on the photoresist by the light.
Photoresist is then developed in developer depending upon the type ofphotoresist used.
Exposer of light makes bonds of positive photoresist weaker and that of thenegative photoresist stronger, where it falls on it.

Mask
An opaque plate with holes or transparencies that allow light to shine through ina defined pattern.
Consists of transparent fused silica blanks covered with a pattern defined with achrome metal absorbing film.
Photoresist Positive photoresist - Soluble in the basic developer when exposed
Negative photoresist - Insoluble in the (organic) developer.
Developer - A solution used to remove unwanted photoresist.

5.Etching A liquid ("wet") or plasma ("dry") chemical agent removes the
uppermost layer of the substrate in the areas that are not protectedby photoresist.
6. Photoresist removal After a photoresist is no longer needed, it must be removed from
the substrate.
Liquid resist stripper : It chemically alters the resist so that it nolonger adheres to the substrate.

Also known as Maskless lithography. The radiation is not transmitted through, a photomask, instead, the
radiation is focused to a narrow beam. The beam is then used todirectly write the image into the photoresist.
Other procedure are same as in photolithography.
Different types of direct beam lithography:
Electron beam lithography Optical (direct laser) lithography Focused ion beam Probe tip contact

Contains one or more monolayers of an organic material.
Deposited from the surface of a liquid onto a solid by immersing the solidsubstrate into the liquid.
A monolayer is adsorbed homogeneously with each immersion step, thus
films with very accurate thickness can be formed.
The thickness is accurate because the thickness of each monolayer isknown.
The monolayers are assembled vertically and are usually composed of
AMPHIPHILIC MOLECULES.

PHYSICAL INSIGHT
LB films are formed when amphiphilic molecules (surfactants) interact withair at an air-water interface.
Surfactants are molecules
When surfactant concentration is less than critical micellar concentration(CMC), the surfactant molecules arrange themselves as shown in Figure Hydrophobic tails favoured the tail-air interaction
Hydrophilic head favoured the head-water interaction
The overall effect is reduction in the surface energy (or surface tension ofwater).

Langmuir-Blodgett trough It is a laboratory apparatus Used to compress monolayers of molecules on the surface of a given
subphase (usually water) and measures surface phenomena due to thiscompression.
It can also be used to deposit single or multiple monolayers on a solidsubstrate.

COMPRESSIONDEPOSITION MONOLAYER
It is important to maintain constant surface pressure during deposition in
order to obtain uniform LB films.
Measurement of surface pressure can be done by means of aWilhelmy plate (or Langmuir balance).

Defined as
spontaneous and reversible organization of molecular units into ordered structuresby non-covalent interactions (local interaction) without external direction For self assembly subunits need certain properties like:
Charge, polarizability, magnetic dipole, specific surface properties.
Self-assembly can be classified as: Static self-assembly system:
It involves system that are at local equilibrium and do not dissipate energy.
Formation of structure needs energy but once it is formed, it becomes stable. Dynamic self-assembly structures :
The interactions responsible for the formation of patterns between componentsonly occur if the system is dissipating energy.
Example:Formation ofMolecular crystals, colloids, lipid bilayers, and self-assembledmonolayers.

There are at least three distinctive features of SA
OrderIt must have a higher order than the isolated components. Interactions
Aspect of SA is the key role of weak interactions (e.g. Van
der Waals, capillary, , hydrogen bonds) with respectto more "traditional" covalent, ionic or metallic bonds.
Building blocksThe building blocks are not only atoms and molecules, but
span a wide range of nano and mesoscopic structures,with different chemical compositions, shapes andfunctionalities.

It has three main properties Weak interactions:
Self-assembling molecules adopt a structure, finding the best combination ofinteractions between subunits but not forming covalent bonds between them.
Thermodynamic stability: For SA to take place without intervention of external forces, the process must lead
to a lower Gibbs free energy, thus self-assembled structures are thermodynamicallymore stable than the single, unassembled components.
Reversibility The weak nature of interactions is responsible for the flexibility of the architecture
and allows for rearrangements of the structure in the direction determined bythermodynamics.
If fluctuations bring the thermodynamic variables back to the starting condition,this leads to reversibility

Formed by the chemisorptionof hydrophilic head groups onto asubstrate followed by a slow two-dimensional organization ofhydrophobic tail groups.
The monolayer packs tightly due to van der walls interaction,thereby reducing its own free energy and are more stable than thephysisorbed bonds of LangmuirBlodgett films.

A. Locally attract It involves locally depositing self-assembled monolayers on the surface only where the
nanostructure will later be located.
The major techniques are:
1. Micro-contact printing Micro-contact printing is analogous to printing ink with a rubber stamp.
The SAM molecules are inked onto an pre-shaped elastomeric stamp with asolvent and transferred to the substrate surface by stamping.
The transfer of the SAMs is a complex diffusion process that depends on the typeof molecule, concentration, duration of contact, and pressure applied.
Typical stamps use PDMS (Polydimethylsiloxane)

"Inking" a stamp. PDMS stamp with pattern is placed in
Ethanol and ODT (octadecanethiol) solution
Figure 2
ODT from the solution settles down onto the PDMS stamp.
Stamp now has ODT attached to it which acts as the ink.
Figure 3The PDMS stamp with the ODT is placed on thegold substrate. When the stamp is removed,the ODT in contact with the gold stays stuck tothe gold. Thus the pattern from the stamp is
transferred to the gold via the ODT "ink

2. DIP PEN LITHOGRAPHY It uses an atomic force microscope to transfer molecules on the tip to a substrate. Tip (Dipped into a reservoir with an ink and molecules)
Tip (only with the desired molecules )
Surface Diffusion of molecules from tip to surface due resulting due to a water meniscus
forms between the tip and the surface.

B. Locally remove It begins with covering the entire surface with a SAM. Then individual SAM molecules
are removed from locations where the deposition of nanostructures is not desired.
The major techniques that use this strategy are:
1. Scanning tunneling microscope (STM)a. Remove SAM molecules mechanically by dragging the tip across the substrate
surface.
b. Degrade the SAM molecules by shooting them with an electron beam.

2. Atomic force microscope (AFM) Removal of SAM molecules by this method is called shaving.
AFM tip is dragged along the surface mechanically removing the molecules.
When the tip is brought into proximity of a sample surface, forces between the tipand the sample lead to a deflection of the cantilever according to Hooke's law.
It can also remove SAM molecules by local oxidation nanolithography.
3. Ultraviolet irradiation UV light is projected onto the surface with a SAM through a pattern of apperatures
in a chromium film. This leads to photo oxidation of the SAM molecules. These can
then be washed away in a polar solvent.
Exposure time :15-20 minutes.
