Abstract

Assembly line: Hydrophobic, repulsive double-layer, and van der Waals interactions have been employed in the sequential self-assembly of microfabricated silicon parts in aqueous solution. Control of the assembly sequence is realized by simply changing the pH of the solution. The fabrication of column- and barrel-shaped microstructures and closed-link microchain structures is demonstrated through a two-step self-assembly process (see picture).
