Abstract :
In this paper, SUS mold was fabricated using both ECF method and FeCl3 wet etching. The ECF mold showed the surface roughness values much better than that for FeCl3 etched mold. Therefore, SUS mold was successfully fabricated for the first time in micro-scale and multi-step patterns. Plastic replica was fabricated successfully using the metal mold.
