Multiplanar circuitry and through-hole interconnections enable product or component designers to produce customized "Application specific" multifuctional devices. As shown in Figure 3, circuitry may traverse a horizontal plane and then gradually transit a raised hemisphere molded feature.

In practice, there are three variants of the method, depending on the geometry of the mold and pattern size, the thickness of the polymer film, polymer properties, and on the process conditions (temperature, pressure). If the depth of the recessed features is large compared to the thickness of the spin-coated film, the latter carmot planarize the relief features, leaving a large undulation on the coated polymer surface [9]. On the other hand, when the polymer thickness is comparable to the height of mold features, the polymer forms a planarized layer over the whole mold. 

Both board-attached and wire harness connectors benefit from SPS s excellent thermal diffusivity, defined as the ratio of thermal conductivity to volumetric heat capacity. As a result, cycle time models show that injection-molded parts cool quickly in the mold, helping to minimize cycle time and improve dimensional stability of their complex, molded features such as the terminal snap fit features on harness connectors. Tool designers typically cannot place cooling lines in close proximity to these features and the cooling characteristics of SPS are essential to minimizing the cycle time during manufacturing.

SFIL has been developed over the past decade by Willson and co-workers it replaces the photomask in traditional photolithography with a quartz mold, and replaces complex optical steppers with molding tools. Figure 8(a) summarizes the procedure used. The prepolymer is irradiated and cross-linked through the transparent mold. Release of the mold reveals the relief stracture in the cross-linked polymer. A residual layer ("scum") connects the molded features in the imprint resist to one another. A breakthrough etch removes the scum layer and completes the pattern transfer step. The unconnected features of imprint resist can then direct further elaboration of the substrate. Figure 8(b) shows an example... 

Boundary conditions for structure analysis of molding feature are detennined in due consideration of designed micro mold system and the condition of injection molding machine, (figure 3) The part of spiral feature which is pressured by resin is affected by the pressure of 120MPa. Fixed part is Z-axis because the bottom face of core is propped by the support core fixed in the support plate. Besides, three axes contacted with mold plate are fixed and so the rotational direction of core is fixed. Apphed material properties are summarized in Table 1.
