An Improved Manufacturing Approach for Discrete Silicon Microneedle Arrays with Tunable Height-Pitch Ratio
Silicon microneedle arrays (MNAs) have been widely studied due to their potential in various transdermal applications. However, discrete MNAs, as a preferred choice to fabricate flexible penetrating devices that could adapt curved and elastic tissue, are rarely reported. Furthermore, the reported discrete MNAs have disadvantages lying in uniformity and height-pitch ratio. Therefore, an improved...
متن کاملA neuronal microneedle, a single-crystalline silicon microneedle with fluidic
The processes for the neuronal microneedle are performed with only one ordinary double-polished (100) silicon wafer. The buried microchannel in the neuronal microneedle is fabricated using the processes of anisotropic dry etching, sidewall passivation, isotropic dry etching, and trench-refilling with a LPCVD polysilicon film. Because the microchannel fabrication process in this thesis uses the ...
متن کاملHigh aspect ratio tapered hollow metallic microneedle arrays with microfluidic interconnector
We present a novel microfabrication method for a tapered hollow metallic microneedle array and its complete microfluidic packaging for drug delivery and body fluid sampling applications. Backside exposure of SU-8 through a UV transparent substrate was investigated as a means of fabricating a dense array of tall (up to 400 lm) uniformly tapered SU-8 pillar structures with angles in the range of ...
متن کاملFully Tunable Silicon Nanowire Arrays Fabricated by Soft Nanoparticle Templating.
We demonstrate a fabrication breakthrough to produce large-area arrays of vertically aligned silicon nanowires (VA-SiNWs) with full tunability of the geometry of the single nanowires and of the whole array, paving the way toward advanced programmable designs of nanowire platforms. At the core of our fabrication route, termed "Soft Nanoparticle Templating", is the conversion of gradually compres...
متن کاملAn Improved Pixon-Based Approach for Image Segmentation
An improved pixon-based method is proposed in this paper for image segmentation. In thisapproach, a wavelet thresholding technique is initially applied on the image to reduce noise and toslightly smooth the image. This technique causes an image not to be oversegmented when the pixonbasedmethod is used. Indeed, the wavelet thresholding, as a pre-processing step, eliminates theunnecessary details...
