| Title | Complex Tooling for Hot Embossing and Injection Molding |
Dr. Alexander Stuck is currently head of CSEM BASEL. He is an expert in nano-optics and replication technologies. He has a track record of successful collaboration with industry leaders in brand protection and optical microsystems.
Before joining CSEM he was responsible for the development and production of DVD-recorders and managed a successful turnaround of a microtechnology company as CEO. He also worked as a project leader and industry consultant for larger technological companies.
Dr. Alexander Stuck has a successful academic track record in optics and nanotechnology and received the first research award by the Swiss Physical Society (SPG-Preis) in 1991, sponsored by IBM, for his work on nano-technology and holography.
Abstract
Combining Holographic and e-beam origination with UV-lithography allows to manufacture tools which contain in
the same tool geometrical features of a few 10nm’s, over a few 100nm’s and microns with macroscopic, sub-mm
features. The total achievable accuracies for the relative positioning of all these structures is in the range of
micrometers. Using electroformed Ni it is possible to transfer all these geometries through hot embossing or injection
molding into plastic parts with great accuracy. Examples of combinations of sub 100nm structures with sub micron
structures and of sub micron structures with sub-mm features are discussed.
