Microfabrication Techniques

Microfabrication techniques are methods used to create extremely small structures and devices, often on the scale of micrometers, similar to tiny circuits or sensors. These techniques involve processes like layering materials, etching away parts, and building up structures using tools similar to those in semiconductor manufacturing. Think of it as sculpting or printing at a microscopic level to produce intricate, functional components used in electronics, medical devices, and sensors. Precision and cleanliness are critical to ensure these tiny devices work correctly and reliably.
