Bridging the gap : Vacuum‐assisted capillary force lithography (CFL) allows the fabrication of monolithic, suspended bridge structures (see picture) by exploiting partial curing kinetics and vacuum‐assisted hydraulic filling. A small portion of the base microstructure (<4 µm) is molded to create a bridge structure by simply applying a nanoscale mold with the impression of channels, meshes, or circles.
