Abstract:
A method of producing particles includes providing a substrate structure that comprises a solid substrate; forming a target structure on said substrate structure, said target structure comprising a radiation-reactive material; forming a spatially patterned beam of radiation using a patterned mask; exposing at least a portion of the target structure to the spatially patterned beam of radiation to which the radiation-reactive material reacts while leaving other portions of the target structure unexposed to the radiation; removing substantially all of one of the exposed or the unexposed patterned portions of the target structure to provide a plurality of non-contiguous structures that include at least a portion of the radiation-reactive material; and separating the plurality of non-contiguous structures comprising the radiation-reactive material from the substrate structure into a fluid material. Each non-contiguous structure of the radiation-reactive material provides at least a portion of a separate particle after the separation.
Abstract:
L'invention concerne une pince magnétique (1) comportant deux mâchoires (2, 3) formées par des couches minces magnétiques reliées entre elles par une charnière (9). La pince magnétique (1) selon l'invention est de préférence une nanoparticule formée par un empilement de couches minces magnétiques. L'invention concerne également un procédé de fabrication de la pince magnétique par des techniques issues de la fabrication des composants microélectronique.
Abstract:
A method for fabricating a fluid container, wherein at least two half containers are mated in said fluid to be contained in said container. This method allows the incorporation of prefabricated devices into each half containers as well as the functional coupling of these devices after mating of the half containers, thus resulting in a functional hybrid MEMS fluid container.
Abstract:
It is disclosed a method of printing comprising the steps of: providing a solid state material having at least one exposed surface; applying an auxiliary layer to the exposed surface to form a composite structure, the auxiliary layer having a stress pattern; subjecting the composite structure to conditions facilitating fracture of the solid state material along a plane at a depth therein; and removing the auxiliary layer and, therewith, a layer of the solid state material terminating at the fracture depth, an exposed surface of the removed layer of solid state material having a surface topology corresponding to the stress pattern.
Abstract:
Methods comprising providing a pre-patterned substrate having an array of thick walls, depositing a conforming layer on the pre-patterned substrate, etching the conforming layer from the top of the thick walls and the space between the walls, and etching the thick walls while leaving thin walls of conforming layer.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing bodies having surface structures in the micrometer or nanometer range, wherein the stamping section of a stamping tool is pressed several times against various locations of the surface of a body by means of a hardness testing device, whereby recesses are stamped at the pressing locations, and wherein a stamping tool having an elongated stamping section is used and corresponding channels or line-like structure are produced in the body.
