We report on recent advances in micro fabrication technology using micromoulding and high-aspect ratio structuring of photopolymer. The direct application is the realization of components for millimeter-size, ultrasonic piezoelectric motors. A new fabrication process using a thick epoxy-based material (SU-8) and the electroplating of nickel is demonstrated. Photopolymer structures have also been...

This paper describes the realization of Pt-tip microelectrodes by using microfabrication technology. The total height of these microelectrodes is 47 μm, of which the upper 20 or 2 μm, respectively, are exposed Pt tips with a curvature of 0.5 μm. In order to verify the tip opening, an electrochemical plating of thin-film Pt was used. This improves the visualisation of the tips in an SEM and...
