This thesis explores a route to induce and control the structure
formation process in thin films by the use of strong electric
fields. We investigate, establish and apply the use of the
electrohydrodynamic (EHD) lithography as a versatile patterning
tool on the sub-micrometre and nanometre length scales for
functional materials. Thin films are ubiquitous, they are found in
nature and used in almost every aspect of daily life. While film
instabilities are often undesirable in nature and technology, they
can be utilized to produce structures by precisely controlling the
destabilization of the film. EHD lithography utilizes instabilities
induced by means of an electric field to fabricate periodic
structures. EHD patterning is set to become a competitive candidate
for low-cost lithographic technology for a number of applications.
Herein, the applied potential of this lithographic process is
explored by expanding its applicability to a broad range of
materials and by a simultaneous patterning of multilayer systems or
functional polymers yielding hierarchical architectures with novel
functionalities.
EHD pattern formation enables for instance, the fabrication of
multi-scale structured arrays as surface enhanced Raman scattering
(SERS)-active platforms. Furthermore, crystalline and conductive
polymers are patterned using the EHD approach and the underlying
structure formation mechanisms are discussed. This extension
towards functional material systems offers interesting prospects
for potential applications. Findings of this thesis are very
promising for use in optoelectronic devices.
