Description of the invention () Background of the invention: (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) The present invention is a method for making micro-shaped tools and three-dimensional microstructures, especially It refers to a method of making a micro-shaped tool and a three-dimensional micro-structure by using a micro-shaped tool to plan or sharpen a micro-dimensional structure on a planar workpiece. In the field of optical fiber communication and optoelectronic display, it is often necessary to make a micromechanical device by machining or chemical etching. The micromechanical device usually has a three-dimensional 3D microstructure on the surface, such as the yellow light-emitting group of a liquid crystal display. , 3D microstructures on planes such as front lens module (fresnel lens), grating (blazed grating), V-groove on grating DWDM, U-groove, etc. Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. The method of processing 3D microstructures of this type usually involves two methods, such as traditional mechanical processing and chemical etching. Among them, those who use mechanical processing mainly use a cutting tool to cut the shape of the required three-dimensional microstructure on the surface of the workpiece. However, when using mechanical processing, the accuracy of the size and shape of this microstructure is completely accurate. Depends on the precision of cutting tools and processing machinery. However, the precision of general machining can usually reach only one hundredth of a millimeter, and the more precise machinery can only reach the precision of one thousandth of a millimeter at best. Therefore, the precision of the three-dimensional microstructure manufactured by mechanical processing cannot meet the precision required by today's optical fiber communication and optoelectronic display products. In addition, the _-shaped tool used in the traditional machining method must also be manufactured by M mechanical grinding. As shown in FIG. 9, the part of the tip 1A and the concave corner 1B of the forming tool 1 is limited by the grinding tool. Restrictions on tools' usually have some rounded corners. 2-This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (21〇 > < 297 mm) 509605 A7 B7 5. Explanation of the invention (), so Therefore, the position of the tip 1A and the concave corner IB cannot be completely sharp, but a slightly arcuate shape is formed. Therefore, the three-dimensional microstructure processed by the molding tool 1 is also positioned at the sharp corner or the inner corner of the groove. The absolute sharp shape cannot be achieved, but a part of the arc shape will be left, which affects the dimensional accuracy of the three-dimensional microstructure. At the same time, the number of three-dimensional microstructures is extremely large and the shape is diversified, such as the V-shaped groove of the front light guide plate. There are thousands to tens of thousands of grooves, and the microstructure of the light guide plate of the backlight module has a hemispherical shape and a pyramid shape, which makes the production of forming tools more difficult. In addition, the three-dimensional microstructure produced by the M chemical etching method is based on the surface of the processed object. The photoresist micro-development method first develops a part of the three-dimensional microstructure and then chemically etches the processed microstructure. The photoresist pattern of another groove is lithographed again, and then the shape of the other groove is etched again. In this way, the process of micro-development and etching is repeatedly performed on the surface of the object to be processed. A three-dimensional microstructure is produced on the surface of the processed object. For example, as shown in Fig. 10 to Fig. 15, if a complex microstructure shape such as a fresnel lens is to be produced by the touch-engraving method, the surface of the workpiece 2 must be coated with a photoresist 3, and then A photoresist pattern 4 (shown in FIG. 11) of a trench is shadowed, and then a groove 5 is carved out by M chemical uranium as shown in FIG. 12, and then repeated on the workpiece 2 as shown in FIG. The surface is coated with photoresist 3, and then another groove 5A of different depth is etched next to the white tr of the groove 5 as shown in FIG. 14. For example, ifcb has been repeatedly etched on the workpiece, A plurality of grooves with different depths are fabricated on the surface of 2 so that a three-dimensional microstructure can be combined by the plurality of grooves to form a 'fresnel lens structure as shown in FIG. 15. 1-3 — This paper size applies Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) (please read the precautions on the back v • m I lr this page) Ministry of Economic Affairs Intellectual Property Bureau Employee Consumer Cooperative Printed Ministry of Economic Affairs Printed by the Bureau of Property and Staff Consumer Cooperatives 509605 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention () However, when the chemical etching method is used to make some three-dimensional microstructures with complicated shapes, the three-dimensional microstructures usually have quite complicated shapes, so they must pass through multiple The micro-developing and etching procedures can be formed, so the production speed of the microstructures produced by the M chemical etching method is quite slow, so it is not suitable for mass production, and its manufacturing cost is quite expensive, and The etched surface is stepped, and continuous slopes or curved surfaces cannot be made. Because of the reasons on M, it is customary to make three-dimensional microstructures with M.

Furthermore, compared with the conventional technique of manufacturing three-dimensional microstructures by the M chemical etching method, the present invention uses a micro-molding tool 30 to process the three-dimensional microstructure, and the micro-molding tool 30 can be processed in the same cutting process. In the process, the entire shape of the three-dimensional microstructure is processed, so that the conventional chemical uranium engraving method must be avoided. The disadvantage of having to repeatedly repeat the exposure and etching procedures to make the shape of the three-dimensional microstructure can be avoided, and it can also be machined. The method of the invention is to carry out continuous and repetitive production work quickly and conveniently, so that the method of the present invention can greatly increase the production speed of the three-dimensional microstructure and reduce its production cost. In summary, the technical means of the present invention can simultaneously have the advantages of precise size and shape of the three-dimensional microstructures produced by chemical etching, and at the same time can have the advantages of fast and low cost of mechanical processing methods, so it does have obvious effects The advancement does meet the requirements of the invention patent. 8- n I n 1 «· H ϋ nnnf I · n ϋ nnnn« I.
