  • Publication number: 20210102286
    Abstract: 3D metal printhead assembly method of manufacture that uses metal electrodeposition to construct parts. The printhead may be constructed by depositing layers on top of a backplane that contains control and power circuits. Deposited layers may include insulating layers and an anode layer that contain deposition anodes that are in contact with the electrolyte to drive electrodeposition. Insulating layers may for example be constructed of silicon nitride or silicon dioxide; the anode layer may contain an insoluble conductive material such as platinum group metals and their associated oxides, highly doped semiconducting materials, and carbon based conductors. The anode layer may be deposited using chemical vapor deposition or physical vapor deposition. Alternatively in one or more embodiments the printhead may be constructed by manufacturing a separate anode plane component, and then bonding the anode plane to the backplane.

  • Publication number: 20210090901
    Abstract: A system and method of using electrochemical additive manufacturing to add interconnection features, such as wafer bumps or pillars, or similar structures like heatsinks, to a plate such as a silicon wafer. The plate may be coupled to a cathode, and material for the features may be deposited onto the plate by transmitting current from an anode array through an electrolyte to the cathode. Position actuators and sensors may control the position and orientation of the plate and the anode array to place features in precise positions. Use of electrochemical additive manufacturing may enable construction of features that cannot be created using current photoresist-based methods. For example, pillars may be taller and more closely spaced, with heights of 200 ?m or more, diameters of 10 ?m or below, and inter-pillar spacing below 20 ?m. Features may also extend horizontally instead of only vertically, enabling routing of interconnections to desired locations.

  • Patent number: 10947632
    Abstract: A method of additive manufacturing that deposits material onto a cathode by transmitting current from an anode array through an electrolyte to the cathode; the method uses feedback to control the manufacturing of successive layers of a part. For example, feedback signals may be a map of current across the anode array; this current map may be processed using morphological analysis or Boolean operations to determine the extent of deposition across the layer. Feedback data may be used to determine when a layer is complete, and to adjust process parameters such as currents and voltages during layer construction. Layer descriptions may be preprocessed to generate maps of desired anode current, to manipulate material density, and to manage features such as overhangs. Feedback signals may also trigger execution of maintenance actions during the build, such as replenishment of anodes or removal of films or bubbles.
