Abstract

This paper reports liquid-immersion inclined/rotated UV lithography for fabricating micro suction cups. Microstructures such as micro suction cups have been applied in various applications. However, the conventional fabrication method had limitations in suction force due to the insufficient inclination angle. We proposed liquid-immersion to inclined/rotated exposure (IRE), enabling greater microstructure inclination angles. IRE equipment was developed to fabricate PDMS micro suction cup arrays. The experimental inclination angle reached 51°, nearly doubling the conventional IRE method.
