What Substrates Should I Use to Fabricate Microfluidics Molds
One of the biggest questions that microfluidics researchers have is what 100mm silicon wafer specs are used in fabricating their molds. Typically, a microfluidics device requires 100mm or higher channel features and a thickness ranging from 2.4 to 5.2 m. To achieve these requirements, researchers made laminated microfluidic devices from PMMA sheets. The wafers were then structured using a CO 2 laser and bonded with ethanol. In order to align the layers, custom holders were used to hold the chips while they were fabricated. To make the process faster and easier, a manual press was used at 1.6 MPa pressure and 70 degC.
