Intracellular delivery with a nanoneedle is a versatile method of injecting various types of materials into a single cell. A single hollow needle limits the throughput of cellular delivery. This study aims to develop an array of hollow nanoneedles suitable for massively parallel delivery and mass production. The fabrication of hollow nanoneedle structures by stepper lithography looks promising, but a method for the fabrication has remained unclear. We patterned the tips of nanoneedles by i-line stepper lithography and fabricated a hollow nanoneedle array. We used silicon and silicon-on-insulator wafers and established a process for controlling needle diameter, height, and pitch. Needle tips were produced on the front side and introduction channels were formed on the backside. A fluorescent DNA solution was transported by electrokinetic ejection through a fabricated nanoneedle array.
