Fabrication of Microlens Arrays by Using Nano-Particle Fluid Imprinting Technology

Abstract

In this study, we look into an innovative technology which utilizes nano-particles as a medium for imprinting. This technology integrates the advantages of soft lithography, photo-cure resist, and gas assisted imprinting. We try to produce micro-lens arrays by gas-assisted nano-particles based soft mould imprinting on photo-cure resists. It helps the application and technology of nano-imprinting becoming more sophisticated. We find that PDMS can be used to precisely replicate micro-to-nano-meter level micro-structures. Together with nano-particles and well-proportioned gas pressure, we can construct a perfect shape of micro-structures and achieve a conformal contact with the surface of base material. It increases the effective imprinting area significantly and improves the replication capability of the transfer. Meanwhile, the PDMS soft mould is easy for production and fast in replication, which reduces the cost remarkably. Furthermore, it has a low surface free energy and low viscosity to the resists. Integrating gas assisted nano-particles imprinting can be a great advantage in the process of micro-structure.

A New Fault Simulation Test and Evaluation Method of Distribution Automation System

“…Current research achievements of fault simulation test are comparatively few. A set of feeder automation simulation test environment is established based on parallel computing theory [8], which gives valuable attempt to testing on fault processing function of DAS. Some domestic researchers has put forward a host injection testing method [9], which is capable of simulating various faults on the feeders to test the feeder automation behavior of DAS, but lack of the evaluation on the result of fault processing.…”
