Compositions and methods for processing a substrate having a conductive material layer disposed thereon are provided. In one embodiment, a composition for processing a substrate having a conductive material layer disposed thereon is provided which composition includes an acid based electrolyte, a chelating agent, a corrosion inhibitor, a passivating polymeric material, a pH adjusting agent, a solvent, and a pH between about 3 and about 10. The composition is used in a method to form a passivation layer on the conductive material layer, abrading the passivation layer to expose a portion of the conductive material layer, applying a bias to the substrate, and removing the conductive material layer.

In an electrolytic cell a membrane consisting of dielectric material such as an organic polymer, which separates two chambers of the electrolytic cell from each other is produced using an etching solution which is provided in one of the chambers, contains active etching ions, while the other chamber contains a solution, which does not have an etching action. An electrical field is generated through the membrane. The etching progresses along ion tracks in the membrane and first produces one funnel-shaped pore per ion track. Immediately prior to the breakthrough, the ions, which do not have an etching action, begin to penetrate the still existent thin layer with fine pores—the active layer—and displace the ions with an etching action. An intensified electric current, driven by the adjacent field, is established and the etching process at the bottom of the pore shifts sideways according to the concentration of etching ions still present. The process is stopped by deactivating the field and flushing the membrane.

A method for selectively wet etching material during the formation of a field emission display device. In one embodiment, the selective wet etching method comprises immersing, in a fluid bath, a structure having a conductive row layer and a resistor layer. The structure further includes a pad area. In this embodiment, the fluid bath includes an organic-acid etchant. The present embodiment then applies a potential to the structure such that exposed regions of the resistor layer are selectively wet etched without significantly etching the conductive row layer or the pad area. In so doing, the present embodiment etches selected materials without requiring the use of highly toxic and hazardous conventional etchants.

A method for cleaning the surface of magnetic disks prior to the deposition of a metal layer on the magnetic disk. The method includes the steps of first, placing a magnetic disk into a magnetron assisted DC plasma chamber. The plasma chamber includes a vacuum chamber, one or more targets, one or more magnets, a noble gas source, a target power supply, and a DC bias power supply. Next, a noble gas, for example argon, is introduced into the vacuum chamber via the noble gas source, and a DC glow discharge is generated in the vacuum chamber by supplying power to the one or more targets using the target power supply. Finally, the magnetic disk is etched when a negative voltage is applied to the magnetic disk using the DC bias power supply.

The present invention is an electrodeposited copper foil characterised in that roughening treatment is performed on a matte side of an untreated copper foil wherein the surface roughness R.sub.z of the matte side of the untreated copper foil is the same as or less than the surface roughness R.sub.z of the shiny side of this untreated copper foil. The electrodeposited copper foil is made by electrodepositing copper onto a drum from an electrolyte which contains 0.05 to 5 ppm 3-mercapto 1-propanesulfonate; at least one organic compound selected from 0.1 to 15 ppm of a polysaccharide which is a carbohydrate such as starches, celluloses and vegetable rubbers, and 0.3 to 35 ppm of a low molecular weight glue having a weight average molecular weight of 10,000 or less; and 10 to 60 ppm of a chloride ion. The copper foil may be used in making a printed circuit board or as a component of a secondary battery cell.

The invention relates to a method for continuous uniform electrolytic metallizing or etching of metal surfaces, and to a device suitable for carrying out this method. The invention is particularly suitable for treating printed circuit boards and conductive films in installations through which the metal surface being treated passes horizontally. In order to avoid metal coatings of differing thicknesses being deposited on narrow and wide conductor strips in printed circuit boards, according to the present invention operation is with movable, preferably rotating roller-shaped intermediate electrodes, which roll without short circuit at a very close effective distance above the metal surface being treated, or which contact the surface in a wiping manner. These intermediate electrodes are not electrically connected to the source of bath current, thus serving as bipolar electrodes, and are located between the surface being treated and a suitable counter-electrode.

Process of smoothing or polishing a diamond surface to reduce asperities reon to a level as low as about 20 nm from the horizontal by implanting the diamond surface with ions to form a non-diamond carbon damage layer on or below the diamond surface below the disparity depth and dissolving the non-diamond carbon by submerging the non-diamond carbon in a liquid having sufficient electric field to dissolve the non-diamond carbon.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a new method for producing a three dimensional object, particularly suited to microfabrication applications. The method includes the steps of providing a substrate with a conducting interface, an electrode having a feature or features that are small relative to the substrate, and a solution. The solution has a reactant that will either etch the substrate or deposit a selected material in an electrochemical reaction. The electrode feature is placed close to but spaced from the interface. A current is passed between the electrode and the interface, through the solution, inducing a localized electrochemical reaction at the interface, resulting in either the deposition of material or the etching of the substrate. Relatively moving the electrode and the substrate along a selected trajectory, including motion normal to the interface, enables the fabrication of a three dimensional object. In an alternative embodiment, current is passed through an orifice placed close to but spaced from the substrate surface, and may be accompanied by forced convection through the orifice. The method provides the potential to fabricate using many materials, including metals, alloys, polymers and semiconductors in three dimensional forms and with sub-micrometer spatial resolution.

The present invention provides a method for treating a ceramic body to provide a wettable surface on the ceramic body. According to the present invention, a ceramic body is immersed in an alkaline hydroxide solution. The ceramic body is connected to form the anode and a suitable metal is connected to form the cathode of an electrolytic cell. A difference in electrical potential is imposed across the electrolytic cell which is sufficient to remove portions of the ceramic body to provide a pitted surface on the ceramic body which is wettable.
