  "definition": "A microfabrication process for creating high-aspect-ratio microstructures, combining X-ray lithography, electroplating, and molding. The name is a German acronym for Lithographie, Galvanoformung, and Abformung, which describes the three main steps: exposing a thick resist to X-rays, electroplating metal into the resulting voids, and using the metal structure as a mold. This technique produces components with heights of several millimeters and structural details in the micrometer range, making it suitable for micro-optics and microfluidic devices.",
