To influence the wetting behavior of a Si surface, periodically ordered nanomasks were prepared by a micellar[1] and photoseeding technique and used to fabricate extended arrays of nanopillars on a Si wafer by RIE etching[3]. These methods allow a systematic variation of the height (<180nm), density (70-500 1/µ m2) and diameter (10-40nm) of the pillars. After removing the etching mask hydrophobicity of the samples was additionaly modified by coating with HMDS (Hexamethyldisilane), OTMS (Octadecyltrimethoxysilane) or a fluorcarbonfilm fabricated by plasma-deposition. Wetting of water was studied by measuring advancing, static and receeding contact angles. First results demonstrate either the Wenzel or Cassie-Baxter-state of water drops on the nanostructured surfaces.
