Microfabrication refers to the set of processes needed for realizing structures having micrometer size. Historically, it was developed during the second half of the 20th century from the electronics industries, pushing the production of smaller and smaller devices. Nowadays, due to the develop of the micro-mechanics and optics, new strategies of microfabrication are risen a lot of attraction, e.g.: 3D printing.
In this course, the most important microfabrication strategies will be presented, including photo- and soft- lithography, 3D printing, micro-injection molding, presenting several examples taken from the literature. Some real examples of the introduced techniques will also be presented, exploiting the facilities presented at the Department of Physics and Astronomy.
