  • Coated Diamond-Turned Replication Master And Associated Process
    Publication number: 20150115129
    Abstract: A coated diamond-turned replication master for manufacturing wafer level lens arrays includes a low-hardness diamond-turnable sheet, a mold surface formed in the low-hardness diamond-turnable sheet, and an oxidation-resistant coating formed on the mold surface for protecting same. The mold surface includes a plurality of optical forms, all of which cut therein by a single diamond cutting tool. A process for forming a coated diamond-turned replication master includes a step of forming a mold surface in a low-hardness diamond-turnable sheet using a single diamond cutting tool. The mold surface includes a plurality of optical forms, all of which are formed by the single diamond cutting tool. The process also includes, after the step of forming a plurality of optical forms, coating the mold surface with an oxidation-resistant coating.
