ABSTRACT:
A microcontact printing method using an imprinted nanostructure is provided, wherein the microcontact printing is introduced to a nanoimprint lithography process to pattern a self-assembled monolayer (SAM). The method includes forming a nanostructure on a substrate by using the nanoimprint lithography process; and patterning the nanostructure with the microcontact printing method. The operation of patterning includes: depositing a metal thin film on the nanostructure; contacting a plate with the nanostructure to selectively print the SAM on the nanostructure, wherein the SAM is inked on the plate and the metal thin film is deposited on the nanostructure; selectively removing the metal thin film by using the SAM as a mask; removing the SAM from the nanostructure; and patterning the substrate by using the remaining metal thin film on the nanostructure as a mask.
