“…A quartz master grating of periodicity 4 µm, groove depth near 0.5 µm, and 50% duty cycle fabricated by photolithography and reactive-ion etching process, was dipped in the 2% dimethyldichlorosilane dissolved in octamethylcyclooctasilane (Repel-Silane ES, GE Healthcare Co., Ltd., Chicago, IL, USA) to apply a self-assembled monolayer as an anti-adhesion layer [35][36][37]. First, a replicated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) master template with master grating's structures were obtained from the quartz master by utilizing the soft lithography process [35,36], using a Sylgard 184 base and curing agent mixture (Dow Corning, Midland, Michigan) with 10:1 weight ratio, poured onto the master grating and cured at room temperature. In the second replication step, a UV-replication process similar to the soft-lithography step was conducted on the 130 mm × 70 mm × 3 mm low-iron glass substrates using the PDMS master template, and a UV-replicated grating pattern was formed within the cured optical epoxy layer on the glass substrate (Figure 3c,d).…”
