Abstract: The mask part 41 includes a substrate 1, a patterning means 40 and a photoemissive layer 6. The patterning means 40 includes a mask pattern 2, 3 of apertures 3 and masking areas 2 and a modifying layer 4. Ultraviolet radiation 56 is patterned by patterning means 40 before effecting electron emission 60 from the photoemissive layer 6. There is electron emission from over the apertures 3 and the masking areas 2 as the masking areas are partially transparent to incident ultraviolet radiation. The ultraviolet transmitted by the apertures and the masking areas is modified in intensity dependent on the thickness R of the modifying layer. The resuting electron emission 60 is in a patterned beam which forms a proximity effect corrected electron image of the mask pattern in the electron sensitive resist layer 63. The masking areas 2 of chromium and the modifying layer 4 of resist may be made by modifications of known methods of chromium deposition and resist exposure and development.

Abstract: A process for making an article having an irregular internal passage utilizes a hollow polymer preform. The preform is filled with a relatively incompressible filler material such as a powder or a fluid, which supports the preform when it is placed in a mold, e.g. an injection mold. The filler enables the preform to withstand high molding pressures and prevents deflection and movement of the internal passage within the preform. The shell, a layer of a polymer material is then molded about the preform. After the final article has been formed, consisting of the preform and shell, the filler is removed for possible reuse.
