Abstract
Bose-Einstein condensation has been achieved in a magnetic surface micro trap with 4x10^5 87Rb atoms. The strongly anisotropic trapping potential is generated by a microstructure which consists of microfabricated linear copper conductors at a width ranging from 3 to 30 micrometer. After loading a high number of atoms from a pulsed thermal source directly into a magneto-optical trap (MOT) the magnetically stored atoms are transferred into the micro trap by adiabatic transformation of the trapping potential. The complete in vacuo trap design is compatible with ultrahigh vacuum below 2x10^(-11) mbar.
