  • Abstract
    This paper proposes a novel technology to fabricate 3D curved structures on SU-8 resist by a photo-acid-diffusion process. This technology deliberately modifies the standard SU-8 photolithography procedure and allows the diffusion of photo-acid released from UV-exposed regions into the adjacent unexposed resist regions, which would result in forming smooth 3D curved structures after cross-linking and development. The formation mechanism of curved SU-8 structure is demonstrated by experiments and numerical simulation.
