Abstract
Various embodiments provide a method of manufacturing a high-resolution structure using a size-tunable hydrogel. According to various embodiments, a basic structure may be fabricated. A temporary structure made of a hydrogel may be fabricated by applying a hydrogel to the basic structure. The temporary structure may shrink by dehydrating the hydrogel. This process may be repeated to fabricate smaller structures. The final structure may be fabricated using the temporary structure or the basic structure.
