This paper introduces a new process for fabrication of high resolution Al 2 O 3 /SiC composite microcomponents using softlithography and non‐aqueous ceramic suspension. Polysilazane is used to provide both binding force and SiC composition. The shape retention and dimensions of the microcomponents were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope. Surface roughness, shrinkage, and density of the resultant sintered components were also discussed.
