Applicability of excluded volume effect was examined for self-assembly of microfabricated components. Microcomponents fabricated by negative-phtoresist were found to form clusters in the solution containing dense macromolecules upon agitation. Shape complementarity of bond formation was investigated to understand design rules for assembly of specific patterns.
