Abstract
An apparatus and method of fabricating particles composed of metals, conducting polymers, semiconductors, and composites of such materials are provided. The method includes application of an editing tool, such as a laser, for patterning an editable structure that mounted on an electrically conductive substrate. Portions of the editable structure may be removed so as to allow electrodeposition.
Claims20
An apparatus for producing structures comprising:
- an editing tool,
- an editable structure;
- and electrode structure,
- wherein the editable structure is in close proximity to an electrode structure,
- wherein the editable structure has patterns, the patterns generated at least in part by the editing tool, and in which hollow portions in at least one of the patterns are configured to be filled by solid materials, at least in part by electrodeposition from electrically conductive fluids, gases, or plasmas using the electrode structure as an electrode, and
- wherein the editing tool, editable structure, and electrode structure are in a single container, and
- wherein the fillings constitute produced structures that are removed from the electrode structure.

A method for producing structures comprising:
- generating patterns in an editable structure via an editing tool,
- filling hollow portions in at least one of the patterns with solid materials,
- wherein the filling accomplished at least in part by electrodeposition from one or more conductive fluids, gases, or plasmas using an electrode structure in close proximity to the editable structure as an electrode,
- wherein the editing tool, editable structure, and electrode structure are in a single container, and
- wherein the fillings constitute produced structures that are removed from the electrode structure.
