  • Electrode tabs and methods of forming
    Patent number: 11791521
    Abstract: Electric tabs and methods for manufacturing are described. A method includes disposing a dielectric layer on a second side of a base material, the base material having a first side and the second side. The method including developing the dielectric layer on the second side of the base material. And, the method including etching the first side of the base material to form an electrode tab.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 10, 2020
    Date of Patent: October 17, 2023
    Assignee: Hutchinson Technology Incorporated
    Inventors: Douglas P. Riemer, Peter F. Ladwig, Joseph D. Starkey, Michael W. Davis, Duane M. Jelkin
  • High-Aspect Ratio Electroplated Structures And Anisotropic Electroplating Processes
    Publication number: 20220351893
    Abstract: A device includes a dielectric layer having a first surface and a second surface. The device also includes a first set of high-aspect ratio electroplated structures disposed on the first surface of the dielectric layer and a second set of high-aspect ratio electroplated structures disposed on the second surface of the dielectric layer opposite the first set of high-aspect ratio electroplated structures.
