Abstract

A method of creating a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) device includes applying a layer of photoresist to a lower layer to create a multilayer MEMS device. The method includes transferring the layer of photoresist to the lower layer. The method can also include spincoating the photoresist onto a release layer, softbaking the spincoated photoresist to at least partially dry it, transferring the photoresist to form a layer of the multilayer MEMS device, and exposing the photoresist to light to crosslink it. The multilayer MEMS device includes a plurality of layers of photoresist.
