Hi, Tsoll,

Try to search for inclined UV exposure or tilting UV exposure. These might be
the technique that you are looking for. Good luck.

Subject: [mems-talk] Sloped microchannel

Hello MEMS community!

Does anybody have an idea how to prepare a sloped microchannel in PDMS?

Initially I've tried to do like this: spin-coat PR on Si wafer, than hold the
wafer vertically,

for like a 1h-4h, hoping  that gravity will make gradient in PR thickness, than
make UV.
Unfortunatelly, I did not achieve the slope. I used SU 25 for this.

Is there some other way to prepare oblique microchannel?
The desired sizes are: length - approx. 4cm, initial heigth 200um, final heigth
20um.

I want to make like this:

Also the ways to prepare slopes with angles 30-70 degrees are strongly wanted.

Thanks in advance!
