Abstract: A process for making a self-aligned waveguide includes: disposing a central conductor layer on a substrate; disposing a mask layer on the central conductor layer; forming a mask from the mask layer; removing a portion of the central conductor layer; forming an undercut interposed between substrate and the mask; forming a central conductor; disposing a ground conductor layer on the mask and the substrate; removing a portion of the ground conductor layer disposed on the mask; forming a ground plane conductor from the ground conductor layer in response to removing the portion of the ground conductor layer; and removing the mask to make the self-aligned waveguide in which the undercut provides self-alignment of each of the inner walls of the ground plane conductor to each of the sidewalls of the central conductor, and the ground plane conductor is electrically isolated from the central conductor.

Abstract: A differential compensator reduces uncertainty in determination of movement of a structural member and includes: a first probe line to attach to the structural member and to provide a first combination of displacement of the structural member and a first expansion of the first probe line in response to movement of the structural member and expansion of the first probe line; and a second probe line having a coefficient of thermal expansion that is different than that of the first probe line, the second probe line to attach to the structural member at a position on the structural member proximate to a point of attachment of the first probe line to the structural member and to provide a second combination of displacement of the structural member and second expansion of the second probe line in response to movement of the structural member and expansion of the second probe line.

Abstract: Superconformally filling a recessed feature includes: contacting the recessed feature with superconformal filling composition that includes: Au(SO3)23− anions; SO32− anions; and Bi3+ cations; convectively transporting Au(SO3)23− and Bi3+ to the bottom member of the recessed feature; subjecting the recessed feature to an electrical current to superconformally deposit gold from the Au(SO3)23− on the bottom member relative to the sidewall and the field, the electrical current providing a cathodic voltage; and increasing the electrical current subjected to the field and the recessed feature to maintain the cathodic voltage between −0.85 V and −1.00 V relative to the SSE during superconformally depositing gold on the substrate to superconformally fill the recessed feature of the article with gold as a superconformal filling of gold, the superconformal filling being void-free and seam-free.
