摘要

The economic success of microsystems products decisicely depends on the availability of manufacturing processes suitable for medium and large-scale production. Injection molding of micro components represents such a technology. As mold inserts, master structures made by mechanical micromachining or alternative processes have to be used. There are many examples of replications using diamond-cut mold inserts made of brass. Minimum diamond tool diameters are 200μm for end-milling, and tool dimensions of 50μm cutting edge width or 15° tip angle for fly-cutting. For end-milling, even smaller tools and structures are required, and a change of the workpiece material from brass to steel is desired for wear and hardness reasons. Recent approaches cover the fabrication of burr-free mold inserts made of hardened steel for the replication of fluidic devices and the realization of smooth freeform structures using straight and tungsten carbide ball end-mills with diameters smaller than 200μm. Actually, micro injection molding allows the manufacturing of precision products characterized by minimal wall thicknesses of 20μm, aspect ratios up to 20 or structural details of 200nm. Good examples of micro injection molded devices are multi fiber connectors with 16 multimode channels or containers for 3D cell culture systems using micromechanically cut mold inserts. New kinds of micro injection molding exhibit rather great potentials for enhanced mounting processes and reduced fabrication costs. For fabrication of metal or ceramic microstructures, the powder injection molding process including debinding and sintering is under development. Minimum structural details are presently in the range of 50μm or, in certain cases, less than 20μm. By using submicron ceramic powders, sufficient surface quality and replication accuracy have been achieved.
