  • Patent number: 9441309
    Abstract: An electrode for forming an electrochemical cell with a substrate and a method of forming said electrode. The electrode comprises a carrier provided with an insulating layer which is patterned at a front side. Conducting material in an electrode layer is applied in the cavities of the patterned insulating layer and in contact with the carrier. A connection layer is applied at the backside of the carrier and in contact with the carrier. The periphery of the electrode is covered by the insulating material.

  • Patent number: 8741113
    Abstract: The present invention concerns an electrochemical pattern replication method, ECPR, and a construction of a conductive electrode for production of applications involving micro and nano structures. An etching or plating pattern, which is defined by a conductive electrode, a master electrode, is replicated on an electrically conductive material, a substrate. The master electrode is put in close contact with the substrate and the etching/plating pattern is directly transferred onto the substrate by using a contact etching/plating process. The contact etching/plating process is performed in local etching/plating cells, that are formed in closed or open cavities between the master electrode and the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20120279866
    Abstract: A multilayer structure is formed by electroetching or electroplating on a substrate. A seed layer is arranged on the substrate and a master electrode is applied thereto. The master electrode has a pattern layer forming multiple electrochemical cells with the substrate. A voltage is applied for etching the seed layer or applying a plating material to the seed layer. A dielectric material is arranged between the structures thus formed. The dielectric layer is planarized for uncovering the structure below and another structure layer is formed on top of the first. Alternatively, the dielectric layer is applied with a thickness two layers and the structure below is accessed by selective etching of the dielectric layer for selectively uncovering the top surface of the structure below. Multiple structure layer may also be formed in one step.
