Abstract

The MicroSystems Engineering Team ((mu) SET) at Louisiana State University, in close collaboration with the Center for Advanced Microstructures and Devices, has successfully completed the lithography and electroplating steps of the LIGA process sequence using cyanoacrylate to bond a PMMA resist layer to a nickel surface. Nickel microstructures 300 micrometers in height have been electroplated. Tests were performed which indicate that the bond between cyanoacrylate and nickel is much stronger than the bond between PMMA and nickel.
