Fabrication of Perforated PDMS Microchannel by Successive Laser Pyrolysis.

ABSTRACT: Poly(dimethylsiloxane) has attracted much attention in soft lithography and has also been preferred as a platform for a photochemical reaction, thanks to its outstanding characteristics including ease of use, nontoxicity, and high optical transmittance. However, the low stiffness of PDMS, an obvious advantage for soft lithography, is often treated as an obstacle in conducting precise handling or maintaining its structural integrity. For these reasons, a Glass-PDMS-Glass structure has emerged as a straightforward alternative. Nevertheless, several challenges are remaining in fabricating Glass-PDMS-Glass structure through the conventional PDMS patterning techniques such as photolithography and etching processes for master mold. The complicated techniques are not suitable for frequent design
