Description

T-shaped cantilever beam microstructure and processing method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of organic semiconductors, and particularly relates to a T-shaped cantilever beam microstructure and a processing method and application thereof.
Background
Silicon is a semiconductor material widely applied to a microelectronic/nano electronic mechanical system, a super-amphiphobic surface (simultaneously has super-hydrophobic and super-oleophobic characteristics) is processed by taking silicon as a substrate, the wettability, the adhesive force, the wear resistance, the oil stain adhesion prevention performance and other performances of the surface layer of the silicon can be effectively controlled, and the silicon-based super-amphiphobic surface has wide application prospects. The research surface shows that the micro T-shaped cantilever beam structure processed on the surface of the silicon substrate meets the super-amphiphobic condition, so that super-hydrophobicity can be realized, and super-oleophobic property can be realized. However, how to process the T-shaped cantilever beam structure has great difficulty, such as:
chinese patent CN107974089A proposes a method for preparing isotropic super-hydrophobic super-oleophobic regular porous silicone rubber through an anisotropic structure, which comprises the steps of preparing silicone oil containing C ═ C double bonds, printing a catalyst and other materials, using ink, printing according to the characteristics of the anisotropic porous structure to prepare silicone rubber with a porous structure, drying and curing to obtain the isotropic super-hydrophobic super-oleophobic silicone rubber material. However, the method is complex to operate, difficult to expand production, expensive in cost, poor in mechanical durability and abrasion resistance of the super-amphiphobic surface, and extremely easy to damage or even fail due to physical abrasion.
Chinese patent CN201634414U proposes a method for processing a silicon substrate, which utilizes a laser processing method to construct a regular micron-submicron surface texture on the surface of the silicon substrate, and then implements a super-hydrophobic structure by self-assembling a molecular film. However, the microstructure processed by the method is only suitable for super-hydrophobicity, does not have super-oleophobic capability, and cannot prevent oil stain adhesion performance.
Chinese CN107346727A proposes a substrate cleaning method and a film forming method, in which a hydrophobic and oleophobic super-amphiphobic film layer is formed on a substrate by cleaning the substrate for multiple times. However, the super-amphiphobic film layer processed by the method is easy to fall off from the surface of the substrate, and the service life is greatly influenced. Therefore, a processing method of a micro T-shaped cantilever structure is urgently needed to provide, so that super-amphiphobic performance is realized, and components can be used in special occasions such as environments with high humidity, oil stains and the like.
