Abstract:
A method of forming microstructures on a substrate, comprising:providing a substrate comprising a plurality of electrodes patterned on at least one surface of the substrate; placing a slurry comprising a mixture of a ceramic powder containing TiO2 and a curable fugitive binder between the at least one surface of the substrate and a patterned surface of a mold, wherein the patterned surface of the mold comprises a plurality of microstructures, and further wherein the plurality of microstructures are aligned with the plurality of electrodes patterned on the at least one surface of the substrate; curing the curable binder with blue light to harden the slurry and to adhere the slurry to the substrate; and removing the mold to leave green state microstructures of the slurry adhered to the substrate, wherein the green state microstructures substantially replicate the plurality of microstructures of the patterned surface of the mold.
