Abstract

In order to realize micromirrors on non-silicon substrates, low-temperature bonding method of Au microrods (diameter: 100-130 μm) using glass molds is presented. First, a target substrate with an Au thin film and the Au microrod were surface activated using hydrogen plasma. Then, the Au microrod was pressed against the target substrate using the glass mold at 150 °C in ambient air. The Au microrod was plastically deformed and smooth surface (11 nm rms) was successfully fabricated on the Au microrod. Using the glass as the mold material, molding and Au-Au bonding were performed in one processing step.
