Micro lens array (MLA) is widely used in information technology (IT) industry fields, for examples such as a projection display, an optical power regulator, a micro mass spectrometer and for medical appliances. Recently, MLA have been fabricated and developed by using a reflow method, micro etching, electroplating, micromachining and laser local heating. Laser local thermal-expansion (LLTE) technology demonstrates the formation of microdots on the surface of polymer substrate, in this paper. We have also investigated the new direct fabrication method of placing the MLA on the surface of a SU-8 photoresist layer. We have obtained the 3D shape of the micro lens processed by UV laser irradiation and have experimentally verified the optimal process conditions.
