Title:

METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING MOVEMENT OF LIQUID ON SURFACE OF NANO STRUCTURE OR MICRO STRUCTURE

Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JP2013079964

Kind Code:

A

Abstract:

To provide a method and a device for determining movement of small drops arranged on a surface of a nano structure or a micro structure by at least one characteristic of a nano structure feature pattern, or at least one characteristic of the small drops.

Lateral movement of small drops is determined so that the small drops are moved in a desired direction along a nano structure feature pattern by at least one characteristic of the nano structure feature pattern. In the other embodiment, the movement of the small drops is determined so that the small drops enter the feature pattern in a desired area and is substantially immobilized there by at least one characteristic of the nano structure feature pattern, or at least one characteristic of the small drops.
