The present invention provides a transfer substrate for transferring a metal wiring material to a transfer-receiving object, the transfer substrate comprising a substrate, at least one metal wiring material formed on the substrate and an underlying metal film formed between the substrate and the metal wiring material, wherein the metal wiring material is a molded article prepared by sintering, e.g., gold powder having a purity of 99.9% by weight or more and an average particle size of 0.01 μm to 1.0 μm and the underlying metal film is composed of a metal such as gold or an alloy. The transfer substrate is capable of transferring a metal wiring material to the transfer-receiving object even at a temperature for heating the transfer-receiving object of 80 to 300° C.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for producing a three-dimensional polymer-metal complex microstructure including forming a polymer structure by stereolithography using a photocurable resin having a reactive group X and dipping it in a liquid of a metal-containing nanoparticle having a reactive group X′ which is bound to the reactive group X, thereby forming a metal-containing layer on the polymer structure through binding the reactive group X and the reactive group X′.According to this method, it is possible to produce a polymer-metal complex structure having a steric structure and to produce a three-dimensional polymer-metal complex microstructure which does not denature biomolecules in a metal complexation process.
Abstract:
A vapor deposition apparatus for a minute-structure includes a surface acoustic wave device 10 that has at least a pair of electrodes 12 and 13 arranged at an interval on a surface of a piezoelectric body 11, a vacuum vapor deposition device 20 that vacuum-deposits at least two substances A and B on a surface of the surface acoustic wave device, and a high-frequency application device 30 that applies a high-frequency voltage between the electrodes of the surface acoustic wave device. In the state where a standing wave of surface acoustic waves is generated on the surface of the surface acoustic wave device by applying the high-frequency voltage, a plurality of thin film layers are formed, and a minute-structure is vapor-deposited at a specific position of the standing wave.
Abstract:
To fabricate high aspect ratio metal structures, a two-layer structure is provided on a conductive layer. The two-layer structure includes a first layer adjacent the conductive layer and a second layer adjacent the first layer where the second layer is etchable by a Deep Reactive Ion Etching (DRIE) process. Using the DRIE process, at least one selected region of the second layer is completely etched away with the selected region being at least partially aligned with a region of the conductive layer such that the first layer is then exposed thereover. The first layer so-exposed is then removed to expose the region of the conductive layer thereunder. Metal is electroplated onto the exposed conductive layer and any remaining portions of the two-layer structure are then removed.

A method for the production of a fibrous network-substrate component includes the steps of providing a network of fibrous material (1) on a preliminary substrate (2) by filtering high aspect ratio molecular structures (HARM-structures) from gas flow, placing the network of fibrous material (1) on the preliminary substrate (2) in proximity to a secondary substrate (3), applying a force to the network of fibrous material (1) to preferably attract the network of fibrous material (1) from the preliminary substrate (2) to the secondary substrate (3) in order to transfer the network of fibrous material (1) from the preliminary substrate (2) to the secondary substrate (3), and removing the preliminary substrate (2) from the network of fibrous material (1).

A method of growing a plurality of free-standing structures comprises providing a plurality of free-standing structures, each free-standing structure having a first end coupled to a substrate, and a terminal end; providing at least one laser beam, the laser beam having a beam waste at a point proximate to the terminal end of the free-standing structure; and moving one of the plurality of freestanding structures or the beam waste to provide a growth zone proximate to the terminal end of each of the free-standing structures such that the free-standing structures grow into the growth zones by addition of decomposing precursor components. The growth rates of each of the free-standing structures are substantially the same.

Examples include a device comprising integrated circuit dies molded into a molded panel. The molded panel has three-dimensional features formed therein, where the three-dimensional features are associated with the integrated circuit dies. To form the three-dimensional features, a feature formation material is deposited, the molded panel is formed, and the feature formation material is removed.
Abstract:
A MEMS device is obtained by forming a temporary biasing structure on a semiconductor body, and forming an actuation coil on the semiconductor body, the actuation coil having at least one first end turn, one second end turn and an intermediate turn arranged between the first and the second end turns and electrically coupled to the first end turn through the temporary biasing structure. In this way, the intermediate turn is biased at approximately the same potential as the first end turn during galvanic growth, and, at the end of growth, the actuation coil has an approximately uniform thickness. At the end of galvanic growth, portions of the temporary biasing structure are selectively removed to electrically separate the first end turn from the intermediate turn and from a dummy biasing region adjacent to the first end turn.
