Soft Lithography

Many BioMEMdevices, such as microfluidic channels, are fabricated using the soft lithography technique. Here, a microscale pattern is replicated by curing an elastomeric polymer over the 3D structure. These polymeric structures are then used to create a wide range of devices, ranging from microfluidic channels for biosensing...

Soft lithography is a set of rapid, simple, and inexpensive fabrication processes that have been successfully used to pattern the complex channels of microfluidic systems. In the electronics industry, lithography refers to the process of microfabrication using light and light-sensitive polymers to pattern parts of a thin film or the bulk of a su...
