title = "One-step multi-depth polystyrene molds for PDMS soft-lithography through laser-induced bumping",
abstract = "In this article, we report a mask-less and cleanroom-independent technique to fabricate Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based multi-depth microfluidic devices using a polystyrene (PS) mold with laser-induced multi-height bump patterns for PDMS soft-lithography. This technique offers a rapid and low-cost alternative to conventional PDMS mold creation, which requires more complicated mask-based photolithography process, and it also eliminates the cumbersome precise alignment/bonding of microchannel layers to fabricate a 3D structure [1]. This paper reports the first use of this new laser bumping technique for creating multi-height molds for soft-lithography.",
