Abstract
A study was undertaken to fabricate flexible silicon substrates for high-density packaging. Two different fabrication methods were evaluated to obtain the best mechanical strength. To protect the structures from KOH etching an electroplated layer of nickel was used as protective layer. Structures are fabricated with electroplated gold leads to ensure low resistance.
