Abstract
In this paper, a new hot embossing process, molding at the viscous state, for fabrication of complex polymer structures at the micro and millimeter scale is presented. Polymer deformability is enhanced due to its low viscosity and is increased by an inner pressure from confinement of the polymer flow. Various millimeter-scale polymer structures with high aspect ratios and complex features were hot embossed. In addition, typical microstructures were achieved. This new approach promises the advantages of a broad process capability and strong compatibility with conventional hot embossing processes.
