Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A microscreen, substantially formed of a photoresist material, is produced by applying a photoresist layer to a support using a liquid photoresist, partially covering the photoresist layer with a mask that defines the structure of the microscreen, exposing the photoresist to radiation, developing the photoresist, and removing the photoresist from the support.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 - 5 . (canceled) 6 . A process for producing a microsieve substantially formed by a photoresist material, comprising: applying a liquid photoresist to a carrier to form a photoresist layer; partly covering the photoresist layer with a mask determining a structure of the microsieve; exposing the photoresist by action of radiation; developing the photoresist; and detaching the photoresist from the carrier. 7 . The process as claimed in claim 6 , further comprising, prior to said applying of the liquid photoresist to the carrier, applying to the carrier a detachment layer, activatable at least one of thermally and by radiation, simplifying detachment of the microsieve from the carrier. 8 . The process as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the carrier is a detachment layer activatable at least one of thermally and by radiation. 9 . The process as claimed in claim 6 , further comprising, prior to said applying of the liquid photoresist to the carrier, applying a sacrificial layer simplifying detachment of the microsieve from the carrier. 10 . The process as claimed in claim 6 , further comprising detaching the microsieve from the carrier by etching to obtain at least partial dissolution of the carrier.
