Fabrication of microfluidic devices using MeV ion beam Programmable Proximity Aperture Lithography (PPAL)
MeV ion beam lithography is a direct writing technique capable of producing microfluidic patterns and lab-on-chip devices with straight walls in thick resist films. In this technique a small beam spot of MeV ions is scanned over the resist surface to generate a latent image of the pattern. The micro...
