    Abstract: Micro-emitter arrays and methods of microfabricating such emitter arrays are provided. The microfabricated emitter arrays incorporate a plurality of emitters with heights greater than 280 microns with uniformity of +/−10 microns arranged on a supporting silicon substrate, each emitter comprising an elongated body extending from the top surface of the substrate and incorporating at least one emitter tip on the distal end of the elongated body thereof. The emitters may be disposed on the substrate in an ordered array in an X by Y grid pattern, wherein X and Y can be any number greater than zero. The micro-emitter arrays may utilize a LMIS propellant source including, for example, gallium, indium, bismuth, or tin. The substrate may incorporate at least one through-via providing a fluid pathway for the LMIS propellant to flow from a propellant reservoir beneath the substrate to the top substrate surface whereupon the micro-emitter array is disposed.

    Abstract: A silicon alignment pin is used to align successive layers of components made in semiconductor chips and/or metallic components to make easier the assembly of devices having a layered structure. The pin is made as a compressible structure which can be squeezed to reduce its outer diameter, have one end fit into a corresponding alignment pocket or cavity defined in a layer of material to be assembled into a layered structure, and then allowed to expand to produce an interference fit with the cavity. The other end can then be inserted into a corresponding cavity defined in a surface of a second layer of material that mates with the first layer. The two layers are in registry when the pin is mated to both. Multiple layers can be assembled to create a multilayer structure. Examples of such devices are presented.

    Abstract translation: 硅对准销用于对准在半导体芯片和/或金属部件中制造的部件的连续层,以使得具有层状结构的装置的组装更容易。 该销被制成可压缩的结构,其可以被挤压以减小其外径,将一端装配到限定在待组装成层状结构的材料层中的对应的对准袋或空腔中,然后允许膨胀以产生 与空腔的过盈配合。 然后可以将另一端插入限定在与第一层配合的第二材料层的表面中的相应的空腔中。 当引脚与两者配对时,两个层都在注册表中。 可以组装多层以创建多层结构。 呈现这种装置的示例。
