3D microstructures with different side-wall angles and different scales are fabricated by both methods of inclined exposure and rear-side exposure at each of selected areas on a same substrate. Conventional methods of inclined exposure are used to make side-walls with a same inclined angle on one substrate and to get a scale error due to front-side exposure through thick photoresist layer, But, by using the proposed method, we are able to fabricate 3D microstructures on a same substrate with various side-wall angles and accurate dimensions as the original design. In the rear-side exposure, UV exposure light reflects from the chromium mask pattern after passing through the thick photoresist layer, resulting in fabrication of well-defined, inclined 3D structures inside the thick photoresist layer.
