Conceptual Images for the Chemical-free Nanotransfer Printing Technique

Caption

The chemical-free nanotransfer printing technique, developed by Dr. Jun-ho Jeong of KIMM and KIMM-NTU research team, is accomplished by transferring 20 nm-thick gold (Au) nanostructure layers onto a silicon (Si) substrate at certain pressure (5 bar) and temperature (160-200 °C). It works by triggering direct chemisorption of the thin metal films under heat, which creates strong bond between a substrate surface and the substance that is adsorbed.
