title: Fabrication of Conductive 3D Gold-Containing Microstructures via Direct Laser Writing.
abstract: 3D conductive microstructures containing gold are fabricated by simultaneous photopolymerization and photoreduction via direct laser writing. The photoresist employed consists of water-soluble polymers and a gold precursor. The fabricated microstructures show good conductivity and are successfully employed for 3D connections between gold pads.
