Abstract
The quality of surface finish and precise height of LIGA components produced by electroplating has been studied. Planarization is often required to meet specifications for both basic LIGA processing (single level) and extended LIGA processing (multi-level). The HI-MEMS Alliance has successfully developed such a planarization process.
