Area of Science:

Materials Science
Nanotechnology
Surface Chemistry

Background:

Microcontact printing and capillary force lithography are established patterning techniques.
Existing methods have limitations in area coverage and uniformity for certain applications.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce and detail Metal-mesh lithography (MML) as a novel hybrid patterning technique.
To demonstrate the capability of MML for large-area, uniform pattern replication.

Main Methods:

MML utilizes thin copper grids as templates for ink blotting onto substrates.
Pattern replication relies on preferential wetting and capillary interactions.
The technique produces inverted mesh patterns relative to traditional stenciling.

Main Results:

MML achieves high uniformity over millimeter-sized areas.
Low micrometer resolution patterns are reproducible.
MML is compatible with surface chemistry modifications and lift-off processes.

Conclusions:

Metal-mesh lithography provides a versatile and practical approach for microscale patterning.
The method enables the creation of functional microarrays for applications like nanorod islands and cell culture scaffolds.
