“…Planar spiral microcoils fabricated by lithography and electroplating [3], and solenoidal microcoils constructed by methods including nonplanar lithography, multilayer lithography and self-assembly [4]- [6], have been reported. MR detector coils have been combined with etched troughs to increase coupling to the sample [7], -factors have been increased on glass substrates [8], capacitors [9] and transistors [10] have been integrated on-chip and implantable coils have been developed [11]. Helmholtz coils, which offer increased field uniformity, have also been constructed from stacked substrates [12], [13].…”
