Abstract

Polymer microfabrication methods are becoming increasingly important as low-cost alternatives to the silicon or glass- based MEMS technologies. We present in this paper hot embossing as a replication method for planar microstructures based on polymer substrates. Several chips containing microchannels for capillary electrophoresis applications with a range of channel widths between 0.8 micrometers and 100 micrometers have been produced by this method, yielding a very good structural replication and short production times.
