Description
This book is an overview of replication technology for micro- and nanostructures, focusing on the techniques and technology of
hot embossing, a scaleable and multi-purpose technology for the manufacture of devices such as BioMEMS and microfluidic devices which
are expected to revolutionize a wide range of medical and industrial processes over the coming decade.
The hot embossing process
for replicating microstructures was developed by the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) where the author
is head of the Nanoreplication Group. Worgull fills a gap in existing information by fully detailing the technology and techniques of
hot embossing. He also covers nanoimprinting, a process related to hot embossing, with examples of actual research topics
and new applications in nanoreplication.
