Abstract

Directional Fabrication of Ceramic Components with Functional Geometries by Ultraviolet Laser Lithography

Author(s): Soshu Kirihara

Dielectric ceramic components with micro patterns were successfully fabricated by ultraviolet laser lithography. As an direct additive manufacturing, 2D cross sections were created through dewaxing and sintering by UV laser drawing on spread resin paste including ceramic nano-particles, and 3D composite models were sterically printed by layer laminations. As the row material of the lithography, ceramic nanoparticles from 500 nm in average diameters were dispersed in to photo sensitive liquid resins from 50 % in volume fraction. The resin paste was spread on a glass substrate at 50 μm in layer thickness by a mechanically moved knife edge. An ultraviolet laser beam of 355 nm in wavelength was adjusted at 10 μm in spot diameter and scanned on the pasted resin surface. Irradiation power was increased at 700 mW for enough solidification depth for 2D layer bonding. The half wavelength of the incident ultraviolet ray should be comparable with the nanoparticles gaps in the resin paste, therefore the dewaxing and sintering will be realized through the electromagnetic waves resonations and localizations.
