International Classification:

C25D005/02
A01N025/34

US Classification:

205118000, 205135000

Abstract:

Numerous electrochemical fabrication methods and apparatus are provided for producing multi-layer structures (e.g. having meso-scale or micro-scale features) from a plurality of layers of deposited materials using adhered masks (e.g. formed from liquid photoresist or dry film), where two or more materials may be provided per layer where at least one of the materials is a structural material and one or more of any other materials may be a sacrificial material which will be removed after formation of the structure. Materials may comprise conductive materials that are electrodeposited or deposited in an electroless manner. In some embodiments special care is undertaken to ensure alignment between patterns formed on successive layers.

Assignee:

Microfabrica Inc. - Burbank CA

International Classification:

G03F009/00

US Classification:

430005000

Abstract:

Embodiments of the invention are directed to the formation of beam-like structures using electrochemical fabrication techniques where the beam like structures have narrow regions and wider regions such that a beam of desired compliance is obtained. In some embodiments, narrower regions of the beam are thinner than a minimum feature size but are formable as a result of the thicker regions. In some embodiments the beam-like structures are formed from a plurality of adhered layers.

US Classification:

438108000, 438121000, 438106000, 438122000

Abstract:

Embodiments of the invention provide methods for packaging integrated circuits and/or other electronic components with electrochemically fabricated structures which include conductive interconnection elements. In some embodiments the electrochemically produced structures are fabricated on substrates that include conductive vias while in other embodiments, the substrates are solid blocks of conductive material, or conductive material containing passages that allow the flow of fluid to maintain desired thermal properties of the packaged electronic components.

International Classification:

C01B 1100
B01J 800
F23B 520
F23D 1144

US Classification:

423659

Abstract:

An improved method and apparatus is provided for thermally reacting chemicals in a matrix bed of porous inert media. The reaction is conducted in an apparatus that is capable of establishing and maintaining a non-planar reaction wave within the matrix bed. The positioning of the non-planar reaction wave permits the interior surfaces of the vessel to be maintained at a temperature at least above 175. degree. F. The apparatus includes a vessel that contains the matrix bed; one or more feed tubes that extend into the matrix bed, where preferably an exterior portion of each of the feed tubes that passes through the vessel is insulated; an exhaust outlet; and a means for heating the matrix bed. The non-planar reaction wave is established by heating at least a portion of the matrix bed to at least the reaction temperature of the chemicals and feeding a process stream containing the chemicals to be reacted into the feed tubes. Upon exiting the feed tubes, the process stream is reacted in a non-planar reaction wave to produce heat and the reacted process stream.

Abstract:

A system including: an optical light source; a reservoir configured to hold a liquid photosensitive medium that is adapted to change states upon exposure to a portion of light from the optical imaging system; and a control system configured to control the optical light source to expose specified portions of a surface the photosensitive medium contained in the reservoir to light from the light source. The control system may be further configured to control the optical light source to repeatedly expose the surface of the photosensitive medium contained in the reservoir to light from the light source to build layers of a desired object.
