Abstract: Three fundamental and three derived aspects of the present invention are disclosed. The three fundamental aspects each disclose a process sequence that may be integrated in a full process. The first aspect, designated as “latent masking”, defines a mask in a persistent material like silicon oxide that is held abeyant after definition while intervening processing operations are performed. The latent oxide pattern is then used to mask an etch. The second aspect, designated as “simultaneous multi-level etching (SMILE)”, provides a process sequence wherein a first pattern may be given an advanced start relative to a second pattern in etching into an underlying material, such that the first pattern may be etched deeper, shallower, or to the same depth as the second pattern. The third aspect, designated as “delayed LOCOS”, provides a means of defining a contact hole pattern at one stage of a process, then using the defined pattern at a later stage to open the contact holes. The fourth aspect provides a process sequence that incorporates all three fundamental aspects to fabricate an integrated liquid chromatography (LC)/electrospray ionization (ESI) device. The fifth aspect provides a process sequence that incorporates two of the fundamental aspects to fabricate an ESI device. The sixth aspect provides a process sequence that incorporates two of the fundamental aspects to fabricate an LC device. The process improvements described provide increased manufacturing yield and design latitude in comparison to previously disclosed methods of fabrication.

Abstract: A method for determining a layer thickness distribution in a paint layer produced during paint spraying after inputting specific spraying parameters into an electrostatically based paint spraying device. A data processing device sets up and uses a phenomenological mathematical model of a quasi-stationary three-dimensional spray pattern. Specific parameters, such as an angle of rotation of electrodes and a rate of movement of the spraying device are input into the phenomenological model as fixed input parameters. In addition, real physical input parameters such as paint volume, directing air data and a voltage value, whose influence on the spraying result is not accurately known, are fed to an artificial neural network. The neural network having been previously trained using real input data such as a configuration of the spraying device, a paint type, operating parameters, and measured values of the layer thickness distribution. The neural network carries out a conversion of the input parameters into model input parameters which are fed to the phenomenological model. Spray patterns formed by the phenomenological model are integrated in a further functional unit as a function of movement data of the spraying device which are contained in the input parameters to form the overall paint layer which is output.

Abstract: A device for use as an electrostatic particle or droplet injector is disclosed which is capable of injecting dielectric particles or droplets. The device operates by first charging the dielectric particles or droplets using ultraviolet light induced photoelectrons from a low work function material plate supporting the dielectric particles or droplets, and then ejecting the charged particles or droplets from the plate by utilizing an electrostatic force. The ejected particles or droplets are mostly negatively charged in the preferred embodiment; however, in an alternate embodiment, an ion source is used instead of ultraviolet light to eject positively charged dielectric particles or droplets.

Abstract: A molten metal spray-depositing apparatus employs a magnetic field-generating nozzle for atomizing a molten metal stream into a spray of metal particles. The magnetic driving field generated by the magnetic atomizing nozzle generates eddy currents which produce an induced field in the metal stream opposing the driving field and creating a torque which causes the stream to break up upon exiting the driving field. The nozzle has one of two configurations for generating one of two generic magnetic field geometries. In one configuration the nozzle utilizes a pair of spaced magnetic poles, such as provided by Helmholtz coils, for generating a transverse magnetic field geometry across the stream. In the other configuration the nozzle employs a solenoid coil for generating a solenoidal magnetic field geometry parallel to the stream. Preferably, the magnetic field of each geometry is a high frequency AC field since better coupling between the field and stream occurs and more eddy currents are induced at higher frequency.
