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 15):
A method according to  claim 1  comprising:\n removing the first microneedle from the mold pillar by separating at least the metal layer from the mold pillar and at least one of the one or more coating layers; \n forming a second electrically conductive layer over the at least one of the one or more coating layers to thereby provide a second microneedle.
