Abstract
A microfabrication process comprises the swelling of at least a hydrophilic polymer in order for shrinking each cavity size of a micromachined microstructure pattern from three-dimensional orientations, whereby upon filling or deposition of metal into each cavity of the pattern when performing an electroforming step, a supermini microstructure with slim, fine, thin and small size can be obtained as geometrically miniaturized from three-dimensional orientations.
