主　　题：confined interface capillary bridge self-assembly sensors 

摘      要：Precise patterning of sensing materials, particularly the long-range-ordered assembly of micro/nanostructures, is pivotal for improving sensor performance, facilitating miniaturization, and enabling seamless integration. This paper examines the importance of interfacial confined assembly in sensor patterning, including gas-liquid and liquid-liquid confined assembly, wettability-assisted or microstructure-assisted solid-liquid interfacial confined assembly, and tip-induced confined assembly. The application of capillary bridge confined assembly technology in chemical sensors, flexible electronics, and optoelectronics is highlighted. The advantages of capillary bridge confined assembly technology include the ability to achieve high-resolution patterning, scalability, and material arrangement in long-range order. It is, therefore, an ideal processing platform for next-generation sensors. Finally, the broad prospects of this technology in the miniaturization and integration of high-performance multifunctional sensors are discussed.
