Abstract

In this paper, we report on using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) tools to emboss cyclic olefin copolymer (COC). Positive photoresist AZP 4620 was used to fabricate 5 and 20 μm thick PDMS tools. The embossed microchannels were 10 μm to 100 μm in width at 10 μm to 100 μm in spacing. The COC embossing parameters, including temperature, force, and time were optimized to reduce replication errors. The optimized process was then successfully applied to fabrication of a passive microfluidic mixer designed and simulated using CFDRC ACE+.
