Abstract:
Methods for fabricating metallic microneedles are disclosed. One method comprises providing a mold pillar; forming an apertured electrically-conductive layer over the mold pillar; and depositing a metal layer over the electrically-conductive layer to provide an apertured microneedle. Another method comprises providing a mold pillar; depositing a first metal layer over the mold pillar to provide a first microneedle; removing the first microneedle from the mold pillar; and depositing a second metal layer over the mold pillar to provide a second microneedle.

Claim (Index 26):
A method according to  claim 23  wherein depositing the protective layer over the mold pillar to thereby coat the mold pillar with the protective layer further comprises, prior to curing, evaporating the solvent from the protective layer solution to leave behind the polymer and to thereby coat the mold pillar with the polymer.
