Background:

Shadow mask technology enables resistless patterning on diverse substrates.
Existing methods face limitations with complex 3D geometries and fragile materials.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel, high aspect ratio, three-dimensional (3D) Nickel (Ni) shadow mask.
To demonstrate its application in patterning complex 3D structures with enhanced site density.

Main Methods:

Fabrication of a 3D Ni shadow mask using laser patterning and electroplating.
Achieving a high aspect ratio of 15:1 with specific dimensions (1.2 mm length, 40 μm width).

Main Results:

A mechanically robust and reusable Ni shadow mask (1.5 mm tall, 100 μm base width) was successfully fabricated.
Demonstrated application in patterning sidewalls of complex geometries, increasing Utah array active sites from 100 to 300.

Conclusions:

The novel Ni 3D shadow mask offers a cost-effective, simpler, and faster method for patterning out-of-plane structures.
Enables enhanced functionality for devices like neural electrodes and microneedles.
