Standard positive photoresist techniques were adapted to generate sub-micron scale patterns of gold substrate using self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and femtosecond laser. Self-assembled monolayers formed by the adsorption of alkanethiols onto gold substrate are employed as very thin photoresists. The process underlying photopatterning of SAMs on gold is well-known at the phenomenological level. Alkanethiolates formed by the adsorption of alkanethiols are oxidized on exposure to UV light in the presence of air to alkylsulfonates. Specifically, it is known that deep UV light of wavelength less than 200 nm is necessary for oxidation to occur. In this study, solid state femtosecond laser of wavelength 800 nm is applied for photolithography. The results show that ultrafast laser of near infrared (NIR) range wavelength can replace deep UV laser source for photopatterning using thin organic films. The essential basis of our approach is the photochemical excitation of specific reactions in a particular functional group (in this case a thiolate sulfur atom) distributed with monolayer coverage on a solid surface. Femtosecond laser photolithography could be applied to fabricate the patterning of surface chemical structure and the creation of three-dimensional nanostructures by combination with suitable etching methods.
