Abstract

See full text

A method of making a mold includes forming spaced mold cavities in a mold body. The mold cavities include geometrically similar portions, but have respective depths below an initial reference surface that vary as a function of position along a particular direction. The mold cavities can be formed using anisotropic etching of preferred crystal directions in single crystal materials such as silicon. A portion of the mold material adjacent the initial reference surface is removed to expose a new reference surface at a tilt angle with respect to the initial reference surface. The modified mold cavities have their respective axes at a new desired tilt angle relative to the new reference surface.
