While microfabricated devices offer numerous advantages, there are several challenges to consider:
1. Material Limitations: The properties of materials at the nanoscale can differ significantly from their bulk counterparts, complicating design and fabrication. 2. Scalability: Mass-producing these devices while maintaining high precision and low cost remains a significant hurdle. 3. Integration: Integrating microfabricated devices with existing systems without compromising performance requires advanced engineering solutions.
