Abstract

In this paper we present the fabrication technologies necessary for the high volume production of microfluidic devices, with specific emphasis on the hot embossing process and the parameters necessary for achieving high aspect ratio structures on substrate like polymethylmetacrylate or polycarbonate. In addition to the replication technology, we have investigated subsequent process steps like via hole drilling, bonding and dicing. Several examples for different microfluidic applications will be given.
