Abstract
Methods for making thin film multiple layered three-dimensional devices using two-dimensional MEMS techniques for use in a variety of applications including endovascular, endolumenal, intracranial, and intraocular medical applications. In the general method, a thin film first layer of the device material is deposited over a release layer which in turn is deposited on a substrate. An other release layer is deposited on the first device layer, with portions of the other release layer removed, leaving a pattern in the first device layer. In a similar manner a second layer of device material is formed in a pattern overlying the first device layer with portions of the two layers joined together leaving a portion of the release layer between them. The two release layers are removed and the first and second layers of the device material are formed into a three-dimensional shape suitable for the desired end-use application.
