Ordered square and dot luminescent YVO4:Eu3+ array patterns were fabricated by two kinds of soft lithography processes, namely, microtransfer molding (uTM) and microcontact printing (uCP), respectively. Both soft-lithography processes utilize a PDMS elastomeric mold as the stamp combined with a Pechini-type sol-gel process to produce luminescent patterns on quartz plates. The difference is that square pattern can be direct obtained via uTM, but with method of uCP, we print hydrophobic SAMS on the hydrophilic quartz to induce the dewetting process of sol precursor to form dot pattern array. The ordered luminescent YVO4:Eu3+ patterns are revealed by optical microscopy and their microstructures, consisting of nanometer-scale particles, is unveiled by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) observations. Additionally, photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence were carried out to characterize the patterned YVO4:Eu3+ samples.
