Lotus Leaf Surface • Property of lotus leaf • Water droplet is not spread (static wetting angle reached 150o) • Water droplet removed by slight tilting of surface (wetting angle hysteresis is very low)
Applications of Super-hydrophobic Surface Applications related with water droplet moving • Water repellent surface • Self cleaning of surface • Low resistance coating against liquid flow
Microstructure of Lotus Leaf 20μm Planta, 202,(1998) 1 • Surface Material - cuticular wax • Surface morphology – very rough in micrometer scale

Dual Roughness Effect? 20μm Planta, 202,(1998) 1
Motivation of This Work • Does dual roughness surface structure (DRS) affect super- hydrophobic property? • How much does DRS contribute the hydrophobic property?
Experimental Surface structure control :Plasma Si etching technique Nano-meter size metal mask formation Surface chemical control : hydrophobic a-C:H:Si:O film deposition Super-hydrophobic surface Analysis

Conclusions • We fabricated various structures with mono and dual roughness through nano structuring of Si and studied their wetting behavior. • Dual rough structure shows higher static wetting angle and lower wetting angle hysteresis than that of mono structures. • Dual rough structure could be effective structure for moving droplet application.
