(+) The FJP method originated
from the demand for miniaturized optical elements in recent
years and the inability of the conventional polishing method
can not satisfy the fabrication requirements of those
elements. The FJP method facilitates the removal of
nanometer deep material, subsequently correcting errors in
the optical elements. However, the FJP method fails to
comply with the requirement of a higher pressure, i.e. >6
bar, to pump the slurry in order to remove the material of
elements. Additionally, the shape that the FJP produces on
the surface is not the Gaussian distribution, thus making it
extremely difficult to more accuratel y control form
correction. Therefore, this work itroduces a modified
FJP method to ensure not only that the shape is close to
Gaussian distribution with a low pressure air source, but
also that the resolution of material removal should be small
and stable.

Slurry is carried with low air pressure, based on use of
siphonic and laminar flow theories. The Gaussian shape is then
achieved by using a nozzle different from the conventional one,
in which both air and slurry passed through simultaneously. Next,
fine resolution of material removal is obtained by optimization of
the slurry concentration and air pressure.
Simulation results indicate that the modified FJP method
produces stable material removal less then 50 nm deep by using
1~2 bar air pressure source and the new nozzle. Via the
modified FJP method, small optical elements can be fabricated

Furthermore, the enhanced capability of material removal can
fabricate precise optical elements, ultimately improving the
performance of an optical system.

(+) Extensively adopted in the opto-
electronics industry for producing polymer optical elements such as
condenser lens, light pipe, lens array, and Fresnel lens for mobile
devices, injection molding technology varies the temperature and
pressure in a polymer-based mold to reduce the number of shrinkage
defects in products. The conventional means of optimizing process
parameters is inaccurate owing to its reliance on the subjective
experience of an operator to eliminate shrinkage defects in products.
Shrinkage can vary based on the polymer material, geometrical
configuration of the part, subsequently explaining the complexity of the
shrinkage phenomenon and the difficulty in eliminating shrinkage faults.
Therefore, this work describes a novel injection molding method
that can accurately estimate shrinkage defects during product
manufacturing by estimating the shrinkage rate of a product part and
pre-compensation of the mold cavity via simulation, ultimately reducing
shrinkage defects in products and streamlining the manufacturing
process.

Shrinkage of wafer products is reduced based on mold
shrinkage compensation. The shrinkage compensation rates for
various materials are then determined via computer-aided
engineering (CAE) simulation. Next, compensation dimensions
of shrinkage and injection molding process parameters are

Additionally, design is simplified and manufacturing time
significantly lowered by using those compensation rates, which
are stored in a database made available for engineers.
Analysis results indicate that the proposed injection
molding method streamlines product design by decreasing the
shrinkage rate of defective products to less than 2%.
Importantly, the proposed method ensures pre-
compensation of the mold part, ultimately ensuring high
precision in the manufacturing of exterior injection mold parts.
