... temperatures. The embedding process described in this paper consists of low temperature laser microdeposition of on-fiber silver thin films followed by nickel electroplating in a steel part. A microscale laser-based direct write (DW) method, called laser-assisted maskless microdeposition (LAMM), is employed...

... was required in order to effectively filter out agglutinated red blood cells, the effects of important processing conditions on the replication of the flow-through microfilters were investigated. By using a mold insert fabricated by a nickel electroplating process and a newly designed mold base, microinjection...

..., a novel batch production of metal embedded microsensor units was realized by transferring thin-film sensors from silicon wafers directly into nickel substrates through standard microfabrication and electroplating techniques. Ultrasonic metal welding (USMW) was studied to obtain optimized process...
