Effect of Mold Materials Used During Hot Embossing on Feature Fidelity for Microfabrication in Cyclic Olefin Polymer (COP) Substrate
Ahmet Can Erten
Abstract:During the transition from research to market, the fabrication of microfluidic devices in thermoplastic substrates is inevitable. For short production runs of several hundred products, hot embossing is the typical method before moving on to a typically more expensive injection molding process for higher production volumes. In this work, we investigated the effect of mold material used during hot embossing on feature fidelity for microfabrication in cyclic olefin polymer (COP) substrate. Specifically, we design… Show more
