The figure on the left shows the principle of operation with the ZentriForm-system. Only one of the two insets is shown as cross section. The inset rotates around the rotational axis of the centrifuge. Air bubbles are transported out of the inset. At the same time, the mixture is pressed against the structures on the wafer, ensuring highest contour accuracy. The finished part has the same thickness everywhere, which makes it suitable as stamp for hot embossing processes. The rotor can be used at speeds up to 2000 revolutions/min. Materials in contact with the silicone mixture are PC, PMMA and FPM (sealing) and the surface of the wafer including the structure on it. The materials have been chosen so that frequently used materials such as Sylgard 184 (DowCorning) or Elastosil 601 (Wacker) can be processed. The silicone pieces can be bonded onto glass or onto another piece of silicone after treatment with oxygen plasma. This step completes the fabrication of a microfluidic chip.
