Abstract:
A method of forming surface protrusions on an article, and the article with the protrusions attached. The article may be an Integrated Circuit (IC) chip, a test probe for the IC chip or any suitable substrate or nanostructure. The surface protrusions are electroplated to a template or mold wafer, transferred to the article and easily separated from the template wafer. Thus, the attached protrusions may be, e.g., micro-bumps or micro pillars on an IC chip or substrate, test probes on a probe head, or one or more cantilevered membranes in a micro-machine or micro-sensor or other micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) formed without undercutting the MEMS structure.

Claim (Index 4):
An IC including a MEMS as in  claim 3 , wherein said first pyramidal shaped tip is smaller than said second pyramidal shaped tip, said base layer is nickel, said conductive layer is copper and said capping layer is nickel.
