Abstract
Assembly of particles draw much attention because of their potential applications in electronics, photo-optics and biochemical technology fields. Three- and two-dimensionally assembled particles have been studied in wide research fields, and many review papers and books are available. Recently one- and zero dimensionally assembled particles and new patterning methods are reported. However there are few review papers on this assembled particles and the methods. This paper will focus on the process of particles patterning on substrates in the scale range from micron to nano meter. The following five techniques for the patterning processes are reviewed: aerosol gas depositing, ink jet printing, particles assembling on a self-assembled monolayer, particles assembling on an electrified pattern and solidification of particle suspension using a micro-molding. The methods using the aerosol gas depositing and the ink jet printing will be used in industrial fields in near future.
