microfabrication (uncountable)
The technology used to fabricate components on a micrometer-sized scale; especially such components built on silicon wafers
Examples
Anisotropic etch processes, where vertical etch-rate is high, but lateral etch-rate is very small are essential processes in microfabrication of integrated circuits and MEMS devices.
However, it has higher resistivity and dielectric strength than most insulators commonly available in microfabrication (10 16 Ω ·cm and 10 MV /cm, respectively).
As the name suggests, microelectronics relates to the study and manufacture (or microfabrication ) of very small electronic designs and components.
Combined with other nano- and microfabrication technologies, citation citation cold welding is anticipated to have potential applications in the future bottom-up assembly of metallic one-dimensional nanostructures.
The top-down approach often uses the traditional workshop or microfabrication methods where externally controlled tools are used to cut, mill, and shape materials into the desired shape and order.
