    Abstract: A method of making a microstructure includes forming a pattern in a surface of a silicon-containing elastomer, oxidizing the pattern, contacting the pattern with a substrate; and bonding the oxidized pattern and the substrate such that the pattern and the substrate are irreversibly attached. The silicon-containing elastomer may be removably attached to a transfer pad.

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing microneedle structures is disclosed using soft lithography and photolithography, in which micromold structures made of a photoresist material or PDMS are created. The micromold manufacturing occurs quite quickly, using inexpensive materials and processes. Once the molds are available, using moldable materials such as polymers, microneedle arrays can be molded or embossed in relatively fast procedures. In some cases a sacrificial layer is provided between the forming micromold and its substrate layer, for ease of separation. The microneedles themselves can be solid projections, hollow nullmicrotubes,null or shallow nullmicrocups.null Electrodes can be formed on the microneedle arrays, including individual electrodes per hollow microtube.

    Abstract: A device, preferably a micro-device, is molded from a plastic material by injection molding, compression molding or embossing. A microabrader can be molded having microneedles for abrading the stratum corneum of the skin to form an abraded site in the tissue for enhancing drug delivery. The micro-device is molded using a mold assembly having a silicon molding surface. The silicon molding surface can include a recess corresponding to the desired shape and length of the microneedles. The silicon molding surface enables micron and submicron size features to be molded from polymeric materials without the polymeric material adhering to the mold surface. Micro-devices having molded features having micron and submicron dimensions can be rapidly produced without the use of a release agent.

    Abstract: To offer a microstructure fabrication apparatus capable of realizing MEMS and a Rugate Filter excellent in performance characteristics by patterning a thick functional material film in high aspect ratio with a simple and practical manufacturing method. A Si layer is employed for a mask pattern. The advantages of the Si layer are withstood a process conducted at high temperature for forming a PZT layer, which is the functional material layer, patterned in high aspect ratio, and achieves excellent process consistency for the whole manufacturing processes of the microfabrication. A trench or a gap is formed with the mask pattern deeper than the desired PZT layer. The PZT layer, or functional material layer (films) is formed on the whole surface including the bottom of the concave part of the mask pattern. The PZT layer deposited on the mask pattern is removed with the mask pattern itself, and selectively remains the pattern of the PZT layer, thereby obtaining a pattern of the desired functional material layer.

    Abstract: Micron-sized particles are produced in quantity by one of various methods, including generally the steps of preparing a substrate surface through a lithographic process, the surface being characterized by defining a plurality of elements, depositing a layer of particle material on the substrate surface including the elements, processing the substrate surface to isolate the material deposited on the elements, and separating the particles from the elements. The size and shape of the elements predetermine the size and shape of the particles. The elements may comprise, inter alia, pillars of photoresist or spaces on the substrate surrounded and defined by photoresist.

    Abstract: Micro-Mold Shape Deposition Manufacturing (&mgr;-Mold SDM) is a method for fabricating complex, three-dimensional microstructures from layered silicon molds. Silicon wafers are etched using conventional silicon-processing techniques to produce wafers with surface patterns, some of which contain through-etched regions. The wafers are then stacked and bonded together to form a mold, which is filled with part material. In one embodiment, the part material is a ceramic or metallic gelcasting slurry that is poured into the mold and solidified to form a part precursor. The mold is removed, and the precursor is sintered to form the final part. The gelcasting material may also be a polymer or magnetic slurry, in which case sintering is not needed. The mold can also be filled by electroplating a metal into it; if necessary, each layer is filled with metal after being bonded to a previously filled layer. Patterned silicon wafer layers may also be combined with macroscopic wax layers formed by Mold SDM to create macroscopic parts with some microscopic parts or features.
