Abstract

Microreaction molds and methods of molding very thin films onto substrate surfaces are provided. The molds and molding methods allow for consistency and uniformity in the thicknesses of the films that are applied to the substrate surfaces. The molds may be single composite, such as etched silica, or multicomposite, such as quartz/metal. The molds may further comprise an adjustable molding cavity. The molds of this invention are particularly applicable to generating thin polymeric films onto microchip substrates.
