Microfabrication techniques are methods used to create extremely small structures or devices at a microscopic scale. It involves precise and delicate processes to design and manufacture tiny components that can be used in various fields like electronics, medicine, or nanotechnology.

I became interested in BME while working at CTF Systems, a company that uses quantum nanoelectronic devices manufactured with
conventional microfabrication techniques to manufacture medical imaging (MEG) systems.
Better software, massive computational resources, and increasingly
precise microfabrication techniques were making it possible to fabricate materials out of minuscule building blocks specifically engineered to exploit the different sorts of physics that emerge on very small scales.
Using
special microfabrication techniques, Ziaie created a miniaturized wireless pressure sensor and combined it with a Guyton - like capsule so that it could generate interstitial pressure readings without the use of a needle and that could be read remotely.
Their robotic centipede — built
through microfabrication techniques similar to those used for making computer chips — is just over an inch long and about a third as wide, weighing less than two - hundredths of an ounce.
We are looking for an interdisciplinary - minded pre-doc scientist who will explore 3D printing (and
other microfabrication techniques) with soft biomaterials to build implants for the nervous system.
Ilie and her team used graphene as their material of choice, thanks to its high mechanical strength, high conductivity, low capacitance, large surface area and the fact that it can be patterned and integrated into a device using
standard microfabrication techniques.
The need for neural probe arrays that are compact, reliable and deliver high performance has prompted researchers to use
microfabrication techniques to manufacture probe arrays.
Using
microfabrication techniques, the researchers constructed tubes with diameters of about 30 micrometers and lengths up to 10 centimeters.
