    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for fabricating a monolayer or multilayer metal structure in LIGA technology, in which a photoresist layer is deposited on a flat metal substrate, a photoresist mold is created by irradiation or electron or ion bombardment, a metal or alloy is electroplated in this mold, the electroformed metal structure is detached from the substrate and the photoresist is separated from this metal structure, wherein the metal substrate is used as an agent involved in the forming of at least one surface of the metal structure other than that formed by the plane surface of the substrate.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a metal microstructure by using a resin mold. In order to provide a method in which a mild manufacturing condition which causes less damage to the resin mold can be set and the high-precision metal microstructure can be mass-produced by uniform electroforming, the method of manufacturing the metal microstructure according to the present invention includes the steps of: fixing on a conductive substrate the resin mold having a vacant portion penetrating in the direction of thickness, by interposing a photosensitive polymer having a chemical composition changed by an electron beam, ultraviolet radiation or visible radiation so as to form a layered structure having the resin mold; exposing the layered structure having the resin mold to an electron beam, ultraviolet radiation or visible radiation; removing an exposed photosensitive polymer existing at the vacant portion of the resin mold; and filling with a metal the vacant portion of the layered structure having the resin mold by electroforming.

    Abstract: An electroplating method includes forming a layer, the forming of the layer includes: a) contacting a substrate with a first article, the first article includes a support and a conformable mask disposed in a pattern on the support; b) electroplating a first metal from a source of metal ions onto the substrate in a first pattern, the first pattern corresponding to the complement of the conformable mask pattern; and c) removing the first article from the substrate. The method may further involve one or more of (1) selectively depositing or non-selectively depositing one or more additional materials to complete formation of the layer, (2) planarizing deposited material after each deposition or after all depositions for a layer, and/or (3) forming layers adjacent previously formed layers to build up a structure from a plurality of adhered layers. Electroplating articles and electroplating apparatus are also disclosed.

    Abstract: In the formation of multilevel LIGA microstructures, a preformed sheet of photoresist material, such as polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is patterned by exposure through a mask to radiation, such as X-rays, and developed using a developer to remove the exposed photoresist material. A first microstructure is then formed by electroplating metal into the areas from which the photoresist has been removed. Additional levels of microstructure are added to the initial microstructure by covering the first microstructure with a conductive polymer, machining the conductive polymer layer to reveal the surface of the first microstructure, sealing the conductive polymer and surface of the first microstructure with a metal layer, and then forming the second level of structure on top of the first level structure. In such a manner, multiple layers of microstructure can be built up to allow complex cantilevered microstructures to be formed.
