Fabricated polymer micro needles array
Fabricated polymer micro needles array by the purposed back-side exposure method.
Out-of-plane polymer micro needles with a height of 65 ~ 210 um and an outer diameter between 20 ~ 100 um have been successfully realized.

Fabricated polymer micro needles array
An example result made by the combinational method. The outside wall had a larger tilting angle, while the internal wall had a smaller tilting angle (nearly vertical) can be made by one lithography step.
