Patterning of Chemical Gradients with Submicrometer Resolution Using Edge‐Spreading Lithography
Source abstract
Abstract
Edge-spreading lithography is used to assemble mercaptohexadecanoic acid (MHA) and octadecanethiol (ODT) molecules into gradient monolayer ring patterns on a Au substrate. Co-diffusion of both thiols over the surface of immobilized silica beads introduces a partial separation of the two species. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) with a gradient structure emerge from the edges of each bead on the Au substrate, as revealed by lateral force microscopy and the template-assisted assembly of nanoparticles (see picture).

46. We performed our experiments in a clean room (class 1000) with semi‐controlled temperature (19±1 °C) and humidity (50±10 %). However the width of individual rings was prone to variation as indicated by the relatively large error bars in the graph. In most cases the ring width varied from one region to another on the same substrate but was typically uniform within arrays. We believe that local variations in the population of beads on the gold substrate in conjunction with inking and printing artifacts primarily account for this finding.
