Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing a micro-fluidic chip template. The method comprises the following steps that S1, photoresist is used for coating a plane substrate, and the coating thickness of the photoresist is 1 micron to 100 microns; S2, the photoresist coating the plane substrate is subjected to prebaking treatment for volatilizing solvents inside the photoresist, so that the photoresist is cured, and the surface becomes flat; S3, a designed pattern of the micro-fluidic chip template is sent to an ultraviolet laser; ultraviolet laser light is focused into a beam of light spot in the laser; according to the designed pattern, the light spot is driven to move for directly performing exposure on the photoresist covering the substrate in the step S2; S4, the unnecessary photoresist is cleaned away, and the micro-fluidic chip template is obtained. The method has the advantage that through a laser direct writing technique and a photoetching technique, the micro-fluidic chip template is fast and flexibly processed, so that the chip processing cost can be effectively reduced; the chip processing period is shortened.
