  • METHOD FOR PREVENTING THE COLLAPSE OF HIGH ASPECT RATIO STRUCTURES DURING DRYING
    Publication number: 20130280123
    Abstract: Methods of reducing the capillary forces experienced by fragile high aspect ratio structures during drying to substantially prevent damage to said high aspect ratio structures during drying. They include modifying the surface of the high aspect ratio structures such that the forces are sufficiently minimized and as such less than 10% of the high aspect ratio features will have bent or collapsed during drying of the structure having said features thereon.
