Abstract
Glass hot-embossing is one of essential techniques for the development of high-performance optical, bio, and chemical micro electromechanical system (MEMS) devices. This method is convenient, does not require routine access to clean rooms and photolithographic equipment, and can be used to produce multiple copies of a quartz mold as well as a MEMS component. In this study, quartz molds were prepared by hot-embossing with the glassy carbon (GC) masters, and they were applied to the hot-emboss of borosilicate glasses. The GC masters were prepared by dicing and focused ion beam (FIB) milling techniques. Additionally, the surfaces of the embossed quartz molds were coated with molybdenum barrier layers before embossing borosilicate glasses. As a result, micro-hot-embossed structures could be developed in borosilicate glasses with high fidelity by hot embossing with quartz molds.
