US Patent 7456112 Method of fabricating micro-needle array

A method of fabricating a micro-needle array is provided. The method of fabricating a micro-needle array having a substrate having a first surface and a second surface spaced in a predetermined interval apart from the first surface, includes patterning on the first surface, thereby forming a shape of micro-needle bodies. Further, micro-passageways are formed that penetrate the first surface of the substrate from the second surface by a porous silicon process, and integrates the micro-passageways, thereby forming the bodies and channels of micro-needles.
