| description | In this study, the unconventional microfabrication method by the combined processes of the chemical soft stamping technique with the thermal uplifting technique to fabricate metal nanoarrays on a glass plate is proposed and their feasibility verified. The gold micro-ring arrays on a quartz glass plate are realized by utilizing a chemical template with the thermal uplifting method. Their optical properties are studied experimentally. First, a plastic mold is made of a Biaxially Oriented Polyethylene Terephthalate (BOPET) via the hot embossing method. Then, the Methanal micropatterns are transferred onto an etched surface of a substrate via a soft stamping process with a BOPET mold. The gold thin film is coated onto the methanol patterned glass plate via the Ar+ sputter coating process. Finally, the metallic micro-ring structures are aggregated on a glass plate via the thermal uplifting technique. The LSPR optical properties as the extinction spectrums of the gold micro-ring structure arrays are investigated experimentally. It is confirmed that this method was able to fabricate plasmonic micro-ring arrays with low cost and high throughput. |
