Direct Microstructure Deposition By Micromirror Direct Patterning And Laser Sintering Of Nanoparticles, Weiya Fang

Masters Theses

"The emerging demand for low cost, medium volume production and flexible micro-fabrication techniques has been advanced by the development of MEMS and limitations of the existing technique. As a promising building block for future MEMS and IC industry, nanoparticles are attracting more and more attention due to their interesting electronic, catalytic and optical properties, which can be finely tuned by varying their size. A novel process for the manufacturing of functional microstructures by modulated laser direct patterning and curing of nanoparticles is presented.

The first part of the thesis aims to understand the possibility and process of using modulated laser …
