A well-defined microstructure with microchannels and a microchamber was fabricated on an aluminum plate by four steps of a new aluminum bulk micromachining process: anodizing, laser irradiation, electrochemical etching, and ultrasonication. An aluminum specimen was anodized in an oxalic acid solution to form a porous anodic oxide film. The anodized aluminum specimen was irradiated with a pulsed Nd-YAG laser to locally remove the anodic oxide film, and then the exposed aluminum substrate was selectively dissolved by electrochemical etching in an acetic acid/perchloric acid solution. The anodic oxide film showed good insulating properties as a resist mask during electrochemical etching in the solution. A hemicylindrical microgroove with thin free-standing anodic oxide on the groove was fabricated by electrochemical etching, and the groove showed a smooth surface with a calculated mean roughness of 0.2-0.3 mu m. The free-standing oxides formed by electrochemical etching were easily removed from the specimen by ultrasonication in an ethanol solution. Microchannels 60 mu m in diameter and 25 mu m in depth connected to a microchamber were successfully fabricated on the aluminum. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
