Review on polymer reflow published

Helmut Schift (Polymer Nanotechnology, Paul Scherrer Institute) and Robert Kirchner (3D Mesoscopic Systems, TU Dresden) published a review on advanced polymer reflow in the Materials Science in Semiconductor Processing Journal (Elsevier). The article summarizes major breakthrough results of the last years and features basic understanding as well as tutorial aspects of polymer reflow. The focus is on the modification of the glass transition temperature of polymers using highly energetic particles. With the described methods, micro-optical elements become possible that are difficult to achieving with any other method in comparable precision.
