TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed technical solutions to fabrication challenges associated with chip sealing and demolding of polymer high-volume replication methods by using UV-assisted thermal bonding to ensure a strong seal of the microstructures in the molded part.

TL;DR: The Femtoprint project as discussed by the authors demonstrated the use of low-energy laser pulses (i.e. below the ablation threshold) to manufacture monolithically integrated devices including optofluidic, optomechanical and photonic devices.

TL;DR: Microfabrication and packaging of micropatterned dry electrodes built with deep X-ray lithography, electroplating and soft lithography are described and preliminary measurements performed with electrodes having different geometries are described.

TL;DR: In this paper, the first results of microstructure replica with re-usable masters in poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) were presented, and a single PVA master was used as a template to successfully replicate up to 10 PMMA microneedle arrays.

TL;DR: This reproducible fabrication method is cost-effective, less time consuming, and allows mass production of fully integrated polymeric, microfluidic systems with embedded high-density and high-aspect ratio SERS sensor.
