A patterning process, including applying pressure to and removing pressure from one or more regions of a substance to transform a phase of one or more regions of the substance, the transformed one or more regions having respective predetermined shapes representing a predetermined pattern. The patterning process can be used to form nanoscale patterns in substances without requiring the use of photoresist or conventional optical or electron-beam lithography, thus avoiding the limitations of those techniques. For example, a semiconducting wafer with an amorphous or crystalline silicon surface layer can be patterned using a die or nano-indenter and subsequently used as elements in electronic, optical or mechanical devices.

The present invention is directed to a method of forming a mold for use in making molded articles having a plurality of microprojections. Additionally, the present invention provides a method of forming a molded article having a plurality of microprojections. In one aspect, a mold workpiece is provided, a tool having a tip with a shape corresponding to the microprojection, wherein the hardness of the tool is greater than that of the mold workpiece, is pressed into the mold workpiece and removed, thereby creating a mold with a microprojection cavity suitable for use in making the molded article.

C-MEMS architecture having carbon structures with high surface areas due to high aspect ratios and nanoscale surface enhancements, and improved systems and methods for producing such structures are provided. Specifically, high aspect ratio carbon structures are microfabricated by pyrolyzing a patterned carbon precursor polymer. Pyrolysing the polymer preferably comprises a multi-step process in an atmosphere of inert and forming gas at high temperatures that trail the glass transition temperature (Tg) for the polymer. The surface area of the carbon microstructures is increases by nanotexturing the surface through oxygen plasma exposure, and by integrating nanoscale structures with the carbon microstructures by exposing the carbon microstructures and a catalyst to hydrocarbon gas. In a preferred embodiment, the carbon microstructures are the source of carbon gas.

A method of manufacturing microneedles is provided, the method comprising (i) depositing a substance onto a first surface and (ii) forming a solid needle-like shape from the substance. The substance may be deposited in non-solid form and subsequently solidified. A method of providing an array of such microneedles is also described.

Microneedle devices are provided for transport of therapeutic and biological molecules across tissue barriers. In a preferred embodiment, the microneedle devices permit drug delivery (or removal or sensing of body fluids) at clinically relevant rates across skin or other tissue barriers, without damage, pain, or irritation to the tissue. Methods of making these devices, which can include hollow and/or porous microneedles, are also provided. A preferred method for making a microneedle includes forming a micromold having sidewalls which define the outer surface of the microneedle, electroplating the sidewalls to form the hollow microneedle, and then removing the micromold from the microneedle. In a preferred method of use, the microneedle device is used to deliver fluid material into or across a biological barrier from one or more chambers in fluid connection with at least one of the microneedles. The device preferably further includes a means for controlling the flow of material through the microneedles. Representative examples of these means include the use of permeable membranes, fracturable impermeable membranes, valves, and pumps.
