Abstract

A method of fabricating a 3 dimensional structure, includes: forming a stack of at least 2 layers of photo resist material having different photo resist sensitivities upon a substrate; exposing the stack to beams of electromagnetic radiation or charged particles of different dosages to achieve selective solubility along a height of the stack; and dissolving soluble portions of the stack with a solvent to produce a 3 dimensional structure of desired geometry.
