Research Abstract |
We have investigated poludimethylsilonxan (PDMS) micromaching by ablation using laser plasma soft X-rays. We have achieved precise michromachining of PDMS at one micrometer scale. The micromachining properties are governed by power density of incident laser plasma soft X-rays on PDMS surfaces, while the wavelength do not affect the properties. It is found that the chemical structures is not modified even after the irradiation of laser plasma soft X-rays. Thus, we have achieved proerties suitable for PDMS micromachining.
