Abstract

A method of fabricating a microstructure is provided. The method includes the step of providing a layer of a polyermizable material. A solid is brought into contact with the layer of polymerizable material so as to alter the shape of the upper surface of the layer. Thereafter, the layer of polymerizable material is polymerized such that the layer solidifies and the upper surface thereof assumes a desired three-dimensional configuration.
