摘要: Micro/nanofabrication of polymer materials is interest for micro/nanofluidic systems. Due to the optical diffraction limit, it remains a challenge achieve nanoscale resolution fabrication using an ordinary continuous-wave laser system. In this study, we therefore propose photonic nanojet-based micro/nanofabrication method low-power and low-cost laser. The nanojets were produced glass microspheres. Moreover, thermoplasmonic effect was employed by depositing gold layer beneath films. By applying nanojet triggered thermoplasmonics, sub-micrometer surface structures, as well their arrays, fabricated with power threshold value down 10 mW. influences microsphere diameters, thicknesses layers films on microstructures systematically investigated, which aligns finite-difference time-domain simulation results.
