Hot embossing and injection molding of three-dimensional microcomponents

This paper discusses hot embossing and injection molding microreplication processes for the fabrication of three dimensional (3D) microcomponents. These techniques included specialized tooling and variothermal process control. The microcavities were fabricated by focused ion beam (FIB) sputtering...
