PDMS 몰드를 이용한 반구 형상의 니켈 금속 메쉬의 제작

A unique fabrication method for a hemisphere-shape nickel micromesh is proposed and demonstrated. A PDMS mold was fabricated using a microcasting process and then used as a flexible mold in nickel electroplating. The fabricated nickel micromesh was well formed and connected without any cracks within the entire mold area. The experimental results veri tied that the fabricated features of the nickel micromesh accurately followed the shape of the microstructures and the curvature of the PDMS mold. This unique fabrication method provides an alternative means to produce three-dimensional metal microstructures.
