Abstract
In this paper, the research and development of micromachined needles for microbiological sample and drug delivery system are reviewed. The micromachined needles can be classified into in-plane and out-of-plane needles. The features of those microneedles are analyzed and discussed. In addition, the design criteria of micromachined needles are proposed. At the same time, the further research of micromachined needles is also discussed. Based on those analysis, a new microneedle structure has been proposed.
