摘要

Direct electrochemical printing of nickel MEMS components is one of the promising options for improvement, but electrochemical additive manufacturing (ECAM) is difficult to print flat and micro structures with random shape immediately. Therein, we applied a new method light-directed electrodeposition and systematically studied the stable and successful electrochemical printing of Ni micro-architectures by using a semiconductor substrate (hydrogenated amorphous silicon, a-Si:H) and supporting electrolyte of Ni2+ salts at room temperature. The micro manufacturing of Ni succeeds at a high deposition precision up to 5 μm, which shows a new pathway to enhance the degrees of freedom of printed structures, opening up new applications where manufacturing flexibility is essential.
