A 2-mm deep microwave cavity resonator is proposed for LIGA micro-fabrication. LIGA provides highly vertical and optically smooth sidewalls, leading to potentially high quality (Q) factor. Simulation using 3-D finite element method (FEM) shows an unloaded Q (Qu) very close to the theoretical calculation. Feasibility of obtaining such cavities with hard X-ray lithography (XRL) is demonstrated.
