We present a novel planar multipole radio frequency (rf) ion trap built with microfabrication technologies on a transparent substrate. Simulations were performed using an analytical model of the effective potential to determine the trapping capabilities of different designs. Based upon these simulations an ion trap was designed, fabricated and successfully characterized in first experiments at ultra high vacuum conditions.
