Abstract: The preparation of high-resolution micro-patterns is urgently demanded for developing opto-/electric-devices in various applications. Generally, solution processes have been commonly used for fabricating micro-patterned surfaces for its mild operation conditions, facile operability and low-cost. In this contribution, we reviewed recent processes on preparing micro-/nano-patterns using solution processes based the viewpoint of resolution, including inkjet printing, photolithography, micro-contact printing, dip-pen nanolithography, and fiber direct writing, etc. Specifically, advantages/disadvantages and development prospects of various solution processes for preparing micro-/nano-patterns are also summarized. We envision that the review will provide inspirations for developing and optimizing various high-resolution micro-/nano-patterns using solution processes.

Key words: Solution processe, Micro-pattern, High resolution
