Abstract :
A novel method for the fabrication of 2D microstructures in a polymer film is presented. Laser ablation of polyvinylchloride and polyolefin films using a frequency-doubled copper-vapour laser is combined with heat treatment as a direct write method in the formation of micron scale hole arrays.
