Background:

  • Semiconductor fabrication is typically limited to 2D structures.
  • Existing methods struggle with creating complex 3D metal components.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method for fabricating 3D metal structures with dynamic deformation capabilities.
  • To overcome the limitations of traditional 2D semiconductor processing.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized photolithography to pattern a resist structure on a copper substrate.
  • Employed nickel sulfamate electroforming to create the metal structure.
  • Removed the resist and performed gold plating for a complete finish.

Main Results:

  • Successfully fabricated high aspect ratio (3.5) metal structures without defects.
  • Achieved an average film thickness of 12.9 µm and hardness of 600 HV.
  • Demonstrated dynamic deformation of structures in response to hydrodynamic forces.

Conclusions:

  • The developed microfabrication technique enables the creation of 3D metal structures with dynamic shape-changing properties.
  • This method has potential applications in environmental science, agriculture, and medicine due to its unique capabilities.
