Patent number: 5846361Abstract: Forming a green multi-layer component with an embedded pattern of barrier material, which may be in the form of a positive pattern to form a recessed area or in the form of a negative pattern to form raised areas on the component. Peripheral channels are machined into the green laminate surface to outline each negative or positive pattern feature, the channels being cut deep and wide enough to contact and overlap the edges of the barrier material. The layer of barrier material and the overlying layer(s) of ceramic material are separated from the remainder of the component to produce a non-planar part having raised areas in the case of a negative pattern of barrier material or a part having recessed areas in the case of a positive pattern of barrier material. An apparatus and process to control the machining depth of cut using both AC and DC sensing techniques is disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 1996Date of Patent: December 8, 1998Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Benjamin Vito Fasano, Mark J. LaPlante, David Clifford Long, Keith Colin O'Neil, Brenda Lee Peterson, Glenn A. Pomerantz, Timothy Titus Popp
