    摘要: A method and system for masking a surface to be etched is described. The method includes the operation of heating a phase-change masking material and using a droplet source to eject droplets of a masking material for deposit on a thin-film or other substrate surface to be etched. The temperature of the thin-film or substrate surface is controlled such that the droplets rapidly freeze after upon contact with the thin-film or substrate surface. The thin-film or substrate is then treated to alter the surface characteristics, typically by depositing a self assembled monolayer on the surface. After deposition, the masking material is removed. A material of interest is then deposited over the substrate such that the material adheres only to regions not originally covered by the mask such that the mask acts as a negative resist. Using such techniques, feature sizes of devices smaller than the smallest droplet printed may be fabricated.

    摘要: A fluid ejector including a silicon wafer having a first side and a second side. A multi-layer monolithic structure is formed on the first side of the silicon wafer. The multi-layer monolithic structure includes a first structure layer formed on the first side of the silicon wafer, and the first structure layer has an aperture. A second structure layer has a horizontal portion and closed, filled trenches or vertical sidewalls. The first structure layer, horizontal portion and the closed, filled trenches or vertical sidewalls of the second structure layer define a fluid cavity. An actuator is associated with the horizontal portion of the second structure layer, and an etched portion of the silicon wafer defines an open area which exposes the aperture in the first structure layer.

    摘要: An electrostatic recorder for applying electrical charges, in image configuration, upon a movable image recording member, the recorder including a stylus electrode array and a counter electrode array which electrode arrays are aligned with one another on opposite surfaces of the image recording member and are positioned so as to extend across the direction of movement of the image recording member. The counter electrode array comprises a base member supporting a plurality of electrically conductive traces thereon, each extending substantially in the direction of movement of the recording member. The conductive traces are interconnected by a layer of resistive material, and contact pads are connected to periodically spaced conductive traces so as to apply electrical potentials to spaced regions of the counter electrode array. Those conductive traces located intermediate the periodically spaced conductive traces are electrically floating when electrical potentials are applied to the spaced conductive traces.
