    Abstract: Cold-spray nozzles, systems, and techniques are described herein related to manufacturing implementations of efficient film deposition. A deposition system includes multiple feed systems to deliver solid powder materials at controlled feed rates and temperatures, and a nozzle, including convergent and divergent sections and connections to the feed systems, to receive a carrier fluid in the convergent section and to spray the carrier fluid and the solid powder materials out of the divergent section. A nozzle includes multiple ports to receive solid powder materials for admission into a carrier fluid, with one or more ports in the convergent section and one or more ports in the divergent section. A method may include delivering a carrier fluid to a nozzle, heating multiple solid powder materials, delivering these solid powder materials to the nozzle, and spraying the solid powder materials out of a divergent section of the nozzle.

    Abstract: Reusable composite stencils for spray processes, particularly for spray processes used in the fabrication of integrated circuit devices, may be fabricated having a permanent core and at least one sacrificial material layer. Thus, in operation, when a predetermined amount of the sacrificial material layer has been ablated away by a material being sprayed in the spray process, the remaining sacrificial material layer may be removed and reapplied to its original thickness. Therefore, the permanent core, which is usually expensive and/or difficult to fabricate, may be repeatedly reused.
