Maskless photolithography using UV LEDs.
A UV light emitting diode (LED) with a maximum output of 372 nm was collimated using a pinhole and a small plastic tube and focused using a microscope objective onto a substrate for direct lithographic patterning of the photoresist. Movement of the substrate with a motorised linear stage (syringe pump) allowed lines in SU-8 to be pattered with a width down to 35 microm at a linear velocity of 8...
متن کاملExploiting the Oxygen Inhibitory Effect on UV Curing in Microfabrication: A Modified Lithography Technique
Rapid prototyping (RP) of microfluidic channels in liquid photopolymers using standard lithography (SL) involves multiple deposition steps and curing by ultraviolet (UV) light for the construction of a microstructure layer. In this work, the conflicting effect of oxygen diffusion and UV curing of liquid polyurethane methacrylate (PUMA) is investigated in microfabrication and utilized to reduce ...

We report a new, rapid and highly flexible method for the fabrication of master structures for casting of PDMS microfluidic chips. Conventional and time-consuming UV-lithographic fabrication of PDMS-molds is substituted by a direct-writing method to produce desired structures on planar, low-cost polyimide (PI) substrates by using a polymer dissolved in water. This technique facilitates the on-d...
متن کاملBeyond PDMS: off-stoichiometry thiol-ene (OSTE) based soft lithography for rapid prototyping of microfluidic devices.
In this article we introduce a novel polymer platform based on off-stoichiometry thiol-enes (OSTEs), aiming to bridge the gap between research prototyping and commercial production of microfluidic devices. The polymers are based on the versatile UV-curable thiol-ene chemistry but takes advantage of off-stoichiometry ratios to enable important features for a prototyping system, such as one-step ...
متن کاملPolymeric waveguide Bragg grating filter using soft lithography.
We use the soft lithography technique to fabricate a polymeric waveguide Bragg grating filter. Master grating structure is patterned by e-beam lithography. Using an elastomeric stamp and capillary action, uniform grating structures with very thin residual layers are transferred to the UV curable polymer without the use of an imprint machine. The waveguide layer based on BCB optical polymer is f...
