Abstract

Multi-layer structures are electrochemically fabricated from at least one structural material (e.g. nickel), that is configured to define a desired structure and which may be attached to a substrate, and from at least one sacrificial material (e.g. copper) that surrounds the desired structure. After structure formation, the sacrificial material is removed by a multi-stage etching operation. In some embodiments sacrificial material to be removed may be located within passages or the like on a substrate or within an add-on component. The multi-stage etching operations may be separated by intermediate post processing activities, they may be separated by cleaning operations, or barrier material removal operations, or the like. Barriers may be fixed in position by contact with structural material or with a substrate or they may be solely fixed in position by sacrificial material and are thus free to be removed after all retaining sacrificial material is etched.

The contents of the two applications are attached herewith. FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates generally to the field of electrochemical fabrication and to techniques for fabricating 3D structures by layer-by-layer construction of deposited materials. In particular, the fabrication of microstructures embedded in a sacrificial material 10 and the technique of releasing such microstructures from the sacrificial material by two or more different etching operations. L. Prior Art 2 Background of the Invention A technique for forming a three-dimensional structure (e.g., components, members, 15 devices, etc.) from a plurality of adhesive layers has been invented by Adam L. Cohen and is called electrochemical fabrication. It is being commercialized by California, Burbank· MicrofabricaTM (formerly MEMGeii^) under the name EFAB17. This technique was disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 6,027,630 issued Feb. 22, 2000. The electrochemical deposition technique utilizes a unique overlay technique to selectively deposit material 20, including the use of a cover having a morphable material disposed on a support structure that is independent For the substrate to be plated. When the cover is to be used for electrodeposition, a smooth portion of the cover may be in contact with a substrate in the presence of a plating solution which inhibits deposition of the selected portion. For convenience, the covers are generally referred to as 1265981 compliant contact covers, and the hood plating technique is referred to as a conformable contact hood plating process. In particular, based on California, Burbank's MicrofabricaTM (formerly MEMGei^ company), the cover has been known as INSTANT MASKSTM and the process is known as INSTANT MASKING or 5 INSTANT MASKTM plating. . The selective deposition using a conformable contact hood clock can be used to fabricate a single material layer or a multilayer structure. The contents of U.S. Patent No. 6,027,630, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. Since this application is related to the above patents, the various published materials relating to the conformal contact hood method (ie INSTANT MAS KING) and electrochemical fabrication are listed as follows: (1) A.

The electrochemical deposition process can be carried out in a manner similar to that described in the above-mentioned patents and publications, which performs three separate operations in forming the layers of the structure to be fabricated: Decapsulation is used to selectively deposit at least one material onto one or more desired regions of the substrate. ^•..., ^ hunting electrodeposition to deposit at least one additional material on the cladding, so that the added material is overlaid on the selectively deposited region and the substrate is not selectively deposited on the substrate.

At least one of the domains contains at least the at least-added layer and is bonded to the second:: two: the majority of the "layers can be placed adjacent to the front-to-third operation ~ Godot" ~ month's surface By repeating the first previous formation and the original substrate #made - the new thickening = layer manufacturing will be completed when all the layers are completed, at least a part of the sleeves are made of the sinking material ; _ silk removal, and exposure or (d) required contact selective sinking material secrets can be compliant j-type plating method, there is a majority of the splicing 20 1265981 touch (CC) cover will be first made to make. The cc cover includes a support structure to which a patterned, conformable dielectric material is bonded or provided. The compliant material of each cover will be shaped according to the cross section of the material (4). At least one CC cover is required for each particular cross-sectional pattern to be clocked. 5 15 2〇 The support of a CC cover is typically a plate-like structure made of metal, which is selectively electro-mineralized, from which the material to be clothed is dissolved. In the method of /, 51, the branch will be shaped like an anode in an electroplating process. In the method of variation, the support may be a porous or perforated material through which the material to be deposited will be moved from the far anode to the deposition surface during the electroplating operation. In any of the above examples, the CC cover can be provided with a common support, i.e., a pattern of a conformable dielectric material 镀1 for plating a plurality of layers, which can be disposed in different regions of a single support structure. When the single structure contains multiple patterns, the entire structure will be treated as a cc, and the individual plating covers can be regarded as a "secondary cover." In the present application, I is another. There is a difference when a specific point is to be made. When the core is ready for selective deposition of the first operation, the CC cover can be pressed against the substrate (or the front-forming layer). Or a selected portion of the layer to be deposited on the selected portion of the layer. The cover and the substrate are pressed against the substrate to raise the mouth of the CC cover. The opening of the hole will contain nano-electric liquid. The material of the cc material will form a barrier of electrodeposition, and the opening in the CC cover will be filled with: chain solution. - Appropriate voltage and / or current, the shape of the anode - (for example, the shield support) is transferred to the east of the substrate (the cathode will form during the plating operation). 1265981 ^ — Examples of the CC cover and the CC cover plating method are shown in Figures 1(a) to 1(c). White 1(a) shows a side view of the cover 8 which is patterned by The anode can be conformed or flexible ( For example, an elastic insulator 1 is formed. The anode has two functions. The first (4) diagram also shows that the substrate 6 is separated from the cover 8. The function of the anode is used as the patterned insulator 1 Support material to maintain its I body and alignment, because the shape of the pattern may be very complicated (for example, the isolation "island" of the insulation material). The other function is the anode of the electric clock cylinder The cc hood method selectively deposits the material η on the substrate 6 by simply pressing the insulator against the substrate, and depositing the material via the holes (4) a'26b in the rim 10 body. As shown in (10)), the Behind "Xuan CC cover will be separated from the substrate 6 (preferably non-disintegrated), as shown in Figure 1(c). The cc cover plating method and "Perforated cover, the difference between the keying method is that the cover material of the perforated cover will be disintegrated when separated from the substrate. As with the perforated cover (four) method, the cloth also selectively deposits the material simultaneously over the entire layer. The area of the money cloth may be composed of a mine area of - or more, and the isolated money cloth area may belong to the individual. The structure 'is either a plurality of structures to be made at the same time. In the CC hood method, since individual hoods are not intentionally destroyed, they can be reused repeatedly in a plurality of cloth operations. 20; the example of the hood cover and the cc cover plating method is shown in the i(4)~1(f) 2 (4). The anode 12 is not shown, and is separated from a cover 8, which is covered. 'The wood-like conformable material 1 ()' and the "selective structure 2G". The figure (4) also shows "only the cover 8 is separated. The cover (8) shows that the cover 8 is placed in contact with the substrate 6.

The first (g) diagram shows the deposit 22 remaining on the substrate 6 after separation from the shell 8.

The CC hood can be made in a number of ways, for example, by photolithography. All of the covers can be made simultaneously at the same time before the structure is manufactured, rather than during its manufacture. This separate manufacturing can form a simple, low-cost, automated, self-contained, and internally clean "table factory," that can be placed almost anywhere to create a structure that leaves only the need for a clean room. The process, such as photolithography, is done by a specific department.... 15 An example of the aforementioned electrochemical manufacturing method is Cheng-Μ - in Figure 2(4)~2(f). - deposition of material 2 (sacrificial material) and a second material 4 (structural material). In this example, the CC cover 8 comprises a figure 10 (for example - elastic dielectric material) and - by deposition _: clothing The support 12 is formed. The compliant portion of the CCI is pressed against the substrate 6 to be dead = 7 electric power 14 is located in the compliant material _ opening 16. The second is (4) also serves as the support of the anode 12 And (b) = 2 = substrate to pass the electromineral solution. The figure shows the current in the ^ = reading material 2 in the solution, and the material 2 will be selectively eclipsed by the male rib and mined at the cathode 6 After the first deposition material 11 1265981 10 15 20 is electro-mineralized on the substrate 6 using the CC cover 8, the Cq8 is removed as shown in the first figure. Figure 2 (2) The second deposition material 4 has been deposited (i.e., non-selectively deposited) on the previously deposited first deposition material 2 and the remainder of the substrate 6. An anode composed of the second material (not shown) The cladding deposits produced by the electro-recording will be transferred to the cathode/substrate 6 by the electro-mineral solution (not shown). The bi-material layer ride will be flattened as a whole. The thickness and flatness of the fine shank are achieved, as shown in the second step. After the completion of this procedure for all the layers, the second material 4 (ie, the structural material) is formed: the structure 20 is buried in the first material 2 ( That is, the sacrificial material), * 2 (4) Figure 2. The buried structure will be formed into the desired device, ie, the junction (10), as shown in Figure 2(f). - An example of artificial electrochemical fabrication The various components are shown in the third (4) to 3_. The system view is composed of a number of sub-systems, such as % u, 4 , etc. The substrate holding subsystem 34 is shown in the third (4) to 3 (upper part of the figure) And contains several components: (1) - carrier 48, (2) _ metal base _ on which will be deposited layer ' and (3 linear slider 42 can respond to the actuator The driving force of 44 moves the substrate 6 up and down relative to the carrier 48. The sub-system: 34 also includes an indicator 46 that measures the variation in the position of the substrate: it can be used to set or determine the thickness of the layer. And/or deposit thickness. The secondary system from the = leg 68 containing the clip 48 can be accurately fixed to the secondary system %. The CC shroud system 36 is shown in the third (the lower part of the figure) It consists of several components: (1) The -CC tree is actually composed of "a plurality of CC covers (ie, secondary covers) of "Common Cut Age! 2", (2) Precision Secret 54, (7) Precision Y Station 56, (4) The frame 72 can hold the electrolyte 16 on the top of the sub-system with the sub-system and the (12)- 12 1265981 slot 58. The secondary systems 34 and 36 also contain suitable electrical contacts (not shown) that can be coupled to a suitable power source to drive the cc cover plating. The overlay deposition subsystem 38 is shown in the lower portion of Figure 3(b) and includes several components: (1) an anode 62, (2) an electrolytic cell 64 for accommodating a plating solution of 5%, and a frame 74. The legs 68 of the secondary system 34 can be placed thereon. The subsystem 邡 also includes suitable electrical contacts (not shown) for connecting the anode to a suitable power source for driving the cladding deposition process. The planarization subsystem 40 is shown in the lower portion of Figure 3(c) and includes a polishing plate 52 and an associated actuation and control system (not shown) for planarization deposition. In addition to the above, the U.S. Patent No. 6,026,530 shows that the electroplating method can also be used in combination with an insulating material. In particular, it is shown that the electroplating embodiment disclosed uses two metals, but various materials such as polymers, ceramics and semiconductor materials, and any number of metals, etc., may be by the aforementioned 15 plating method, or throughout It is deposited in individual procedures that occur in the electroplating process. It is shown that a thin electric ore can be deposited, for example by sputtering, on an insufficiently conductive deposit (e.g., an insulating layer) for subsequent plating. It is also apparent that a plurality of support materials (i.e., sacrificial materials) may also be included in the plating elements, and the support materials may be selectively removed. Another method of fabricating microstructures from electroplated metals (i.e., using electrochemical fabrication techniques) is disclosed in Henry Guckel's U.S. Patent No. 5,519, 637, entitled "Multi-Level" > A method of sacrificing a metal layer to create a microstructure. This patent discloses a method of fabricating a metal structure using a mask exposure. A first layer of the main metal is plated on an exposed plating pad to fill a photoresist in 13 1265981. a gap, the photoresist will be removed, and a second metal will be electroplated on the first layer and the plating seat. The exposed surface of the second metal will be ground down to a height of one and exposed a metal to form a flat uniform surface extending through the first and second metals. A second layer 5 is then formed by depositing a photoresist layer on the first layer and repeating the fabrication of the first layer The process is completed. The process is repeated until the entire structure is formed, and the second metal is removed. The photoresist can be formed by casting on the plating pad or the previous layer, and the gap in the photoresist can be X-ray or UV radiation Formed by a patterned mask to expose the photoresist. 10 Although these techniques have been seen, there are still some technologies in the field of electrochemical manufacturing to improve product reliability, improve control after layer processing, and improve materials.

All of these techniques can be variously disclosed herein. Different embodiments of the aspects are combined to produce a better embodiment. Other embodiments may be derived from combinations of the various embodiments disclosed herein. Figures 4(a) through 4(i) illustrate In a multi-layer process, each stage of a single layer is formed in which a second metal is deposited on a first metal and into the opening of the first metal, and a deposit forms part of the layer. In the figure 4(a) 18 1265981, a side view of a substrate 82 is shown, which is illustrated The photoresist 84 is formed as shown in Fig. 4(b). In Fig. 4(c), a photoresist pattern is formed by curing, exposing, and developing the photoresist. The pattern of the photoresist 84 The opening or voids 92(a) to 92(c) or the like are caused by the surface 86 of the photoresist extending through its thickness 5 to the surface 88 of the substrate 82. In Figure 4(d), a metal 94 (e.g., nickel) has been plated in the openings 92(a) to 92(c). In the fourth (e) diagram, the photoresist has been removed from the substrate (eg, chemically stripped), The area of the substrate 82 that is not covered by the first metal 94 is exposed. In Figure 4(f), a second metal 96 (e.g., silver) has been electroplated over the entire exposed portion of the substrate 82 (which is electrically conductive) and the first metal 94 (which is also electrically conductive) )on. Figure 4(g) illustrates the first layer of the structure that has been completed by flattening the first and second metals to a height to expose the first metal and set the thickness of the first layer. . The steps in Figures 4(b) to 4(g) are repeated a plurality of times in Figure 4(h) to form a multilayer structure as shown, each of which contains two materials. For the use of the larger portion, one of the two materials will be removed as shown in Figure 4(i) to form a desired 3D structure 98 (e.g., component or device). The various embodiments, variations, and techniques disclosed herein can be used in conjunction with electrochemical fabrication techniques using different forms of patterned masking and masking techniques. For example, a conformable contact cover and a galvanizing operation can be used, and the near cover 20 and the hood plating operation can also be used (i.e., operation using at least a portion of the cover that selectively covers a substrate, the cover system Close to the substrate but not necessarily in full contact), the non-conformal cover and the cover plating operation can also be used (ie, the cover surface does not sufficiently flex the conformal cover and the operation according to the cover), the adhesive cover And the ruthenium plating can also be used (ie, a cover bonded to a substrate and a handle 19 1265981 using the cover, the ruthenium substrate is selectively deposited only in the untouched portion or Etching) 〇土弟5(a) illustrates a block diagram of the basic operation of a first set of embodiments. Fang ghost 1 〇 2 does not show that in the _ operation (ie operation i), most of the layers will be made 5 (for example, electrochemically manufactured), and they include: (1) - the desired structure is at least: The material is made, and (2) the sacrificial support structure is made of at least one sacrificial material. Block 1 示出 4 shows a second operation (ie, the operation phantom includes, the etch operation to remove at least the required portion of the sacrificial material, wherein each of the remaining operations is - the required surname and one required The method is carried out.: 10 In the present application, some embodiments use two or more residual operations, each separated by at least a hard stop, (ie, used to end the fixed or Nearly solid (four) end point. Other embodiments can eliminate the need for hard bumps to distinguish successive etching operations. 15 20 Figures 5(b) to 5(d) show various operations for explaining operation 2 of Figure 5(4). A block diagram of a variation of the embodiment. The operation 2 package is shown in Figure 5(b): at least two elements: (1) using the first (four) agent for the first (four) HZ, and (2) using the first etchant The second etchant is used to perform the second etch 114. In the fifth (b)-th embodiment, the two methods may be the same except that the surname used is different. In the fifth (c) diagram, The operation 2 includes at least two elements: (1) - the first side m is used - the rice cooker and the first method ", and (2) - the second etching 124 is used The etchant and the second method different from the first method. In the embodiment of the fifth (second) diagram, the dime encapsulation system is the same. The fifth (d) diagram shows that the operation 2 includes at least two elements. : (1) _ first 'etch 132 uses a first etchant and first etching method, and (2) - second eclipse 20 1265981 m with -fr then correct the second (four) listen, its cut second money Engraving method.:: Two-one narration agent' and the first shoe engraving method is different from the second money engraving 5 10 15 20 Change the temperature, change the secret method of shaking or flowing, but the degree, change the rhyme The inclusion of the formula 'the change of the surname will constitute the use of different or (d) other parameters, etc., in the sixth (the tree shows that the operation 2 includes at least three elements: (1) a brother - etching 14, (2) In the _ eclipse - from 1; part of the escaping ~ 于 at least one of the remaining layers of the remaining layers to say =! 144, and (3) a first, 146. 6 (8) An example of a person who operates 144 on the second brother: (Α) using a flawless etchant and/or different materials of the same or different materials to carry out the operation of the middle door, the brother's surname, and the middle of the book. Money carved 144 seven (8) The material is infiltrated into at least a portion of one of the voids, and the respective members of the material are separated from each other, 144_3; (d) depositing the additive material 144_4; (6) operating in a non-money manner such as flat To remove a material 1 body 5; (7) to separate the structure from the attached substrate _; (9) fixed-second substrate or member 'and possibly remove the substrate to which the structure is attached, 1 body 7; And/or (H) performing a heat treatment operation 144_8. Of course there are many pots whose possible intermediate operations are readily known to the skilled person after reading this document. Figure 6(8) illustrates that operation 2 includes at least three elements: (1) first The surname 142 '(2) performs a non-post-processing operation 148 of interference, and (7) a second etch 146. Figure 6(b) also provides three examples of possible interference operations 148: (4) replacing (4) (iv) squeaking; (9) cleaning the structure to remove saturated residual agent 148_2 from localized areas; and/or (c) Resetting the structure with the surname 21 1265981, for example rotating it for gravity to improve efficiency, or exposing a different part of the structure to the surname, or extracting the composition from the agent A part of the process, etc., 148, the cleaning operation shown in (8) can be sand washed in ... for water, or other materials that are easy to remove saturated money for the month b. The 5 may also include shaking of the structure or introducing a flow of cleaning liquid. The various conditions in which some of the above embodiments can be implemented are shown in Figures 7(4) to 7(d), 8(a) to 8(c), and 9(4) to 9(c). Ports 7(a) to 7(d) illustrate an example in which a towel has a single structural material that is used in combination with an early-sacrificial material. In this example, the desired multilayer structure is surrounded by three layers of material. The multilayer structure is firstly surrounded by the first region 204 of the sacrificial material (except for the portion of the structure that contacts the substrate 21). The first region of the sacrificial material 204 is surrounded by a mask 2 (e.g., a thin cover) of a structural material (except for the portion of the substrate 21 that contacts the substrate 21). The barrier 206 is in turn surrounded by the second region 208 of the sacrificial material (except for portions of the substrate 210 that contact 15). The first region 204 and the second region 208 of the sacrificial material can each be formed by a process for constructing the layers (e.g., the laterally-constructed dimensions can have a fixed extent without drying the transverse dimension of the desired structure 202, And if it is not part of the desired structure, it can be made substantially from a sacrificial material). In this example, the P-tank 206 is used to have a controlled etch stop when the second region 208 is etched. There are many reasons why these stops are necessary. For example, if the etchant used to remove the sacrificial material does not have a high selectivity to preferentially remove the sacrificial material, the area of structural material exposed to the etchant of the structural material is 22 1265981 10 15 20 for a longer period of time or higher. When the degree of shaking, it may suffer from unacceptable damage', and the area of structural material exposed to the surname for a short period of time may not be so damaged. Under these conditions, the mask view can be used to help ensure that less off time and/or more time is spent, and the heart improves the quality of the resulting structure. In some cases, the mask may be a rectangular box as shown in Figures 7(a) and 7(b), while in other embodiments, the mask may conform to or at least partially conform to The shape of the structure, 俾 leaves a more uniform thickness of the sacrificial material to be removed by the last surname operation. In some cases, the shroud may have a substantially uniform thickness, while other shrouds may have different thicknesses, for example, when the inner surface is purely conformable to the shape of the structure. In the case of 4 ’, the (4) 1 of the sacrificial material is preferably _, but it can also be performed by a pair of masks 206. When the mask is applied, the structural material j-layer manufacturing operation of the money mask 206 will be activated. The non-attack (four) 1 selective button engraving comes to Saki, which will take it). If there is a dry 4 (or only attack at a slower rate, then the operation will be able to start at this time 'exposure multi-structure: the last (four)' can be ^^^^^, the sacrifice The material may be copper, and the structural material may be properly selected to be only one of the remaining, but not. For example, the nickel etchant may be 23 1265981 from Enth_-OMI.

由於該介電材料344現已能固定中心導體332,故現已能蝕 掉剩餘的犧牲材料334,而留下開放的内部姓空區域和 348,如第12(d)圖所示。最後,若有需要,則該等蝕空區域 346,348等亦能以相同或不同的介電質344來填滿,如第 20 12(e)圖所示。 在第12(a)〜12(e)圖中所例示的蝕刻及滲透法能以不 同的方式來達成。例如,該等方法係以二或更多階段來進 行蝕刻。 一蝕刻及滲透實施例的第一例乃以第13和14(心與14(b) 31 1265981 圖來u在此例中’ _不要㈣之完全罩蔽的選擇區域 (除了該轉本身内部料)將會被提供,因此㈣僅會發生 在未罩蚊區域中。㈣會進行姓刻。在切步钱刻完成後,即 ㊁…亍〜透而將’丨電材料提供至—所需區域。嗣該阻罩會 5 ^被部份除去,然後會㈣原來被罩蔽的區域,且若有 而要將對韻轉蔽區域進行介電質滲透填補。更詳言

具有選擇性之钱刻劑的結果,或者由於犧牲材料分開該板 片和結構材料,因此钱刻劑不能達到該結構材料所致。該 板片去除後會使該結構回復如第13圖所示的開放狀態,只 是其交叉區域及可能包括該煙自區會被填滿一介電質。 2〇 '然後’其餘的犧牲材料會被餘掉。此可在該結構已由 -電化學製造機器上被卸除之後才來進行(例如若該機器 係被用來製造該裂置)’或亦可在該機器中來完成。若有需 要亦可進行附加的滲透填補。 蝕刻與滲透實施例的第二例係以第15,16及17(勾圖 33 1265981 來說明。在本例中將會提供不完全的阻罩(⑼會完全阻播 餘刻劑進人的阻障)於某麵域中,以減緩__⑽# 刻’而使在罩蔽區域與非罩蔽區域之間能達到不同的钱刻 速率。更詳言之’在本例中,阻罩並不黏接於會保留作為 5該結構的一部份之結構材料,且它們亦不黏接於基材。在 本例中的阻罩會被犧牲材料所包圍,而當所有包_犧牲 材料被㈣之後’該等料即能被除去或相結構掉落(例 如若該結構係被倒置地姓刻),因此可在原先軍蔽區内造成 -有差別的侧。由於阻障的延滞,_刻將僅能在某竣 10區域巾完全達成’而在其它區域巾不完全達成。該初步妙 刻嗣可被中止,而該結構的清理、滲透會在所擇區域内來 進行(例如在已完絲刻的區域中),㈣刻又會再啟動,真 持續至所有區域皆已完全姓刻為止,然後若有需要料進 行後續的滲透操作。又在其它實施例中,二次以上的餘刻 i5 F皆段亦可被用來與二或更多的滲透操作結合。 在某些實施例中,該等阻障可用來形成加長的餘刻通 這’而令姓刻劑必須循之運行方能達到一所需的钱刻位置 (即則會因該增長的通道而會延缓)。在其它實施例中,鈔 刻岐緩亦可不如此大部份依靠路徑的延長,而是依靠縮 2 〇 =、箱刻劑必須通過才能接近所需敍刻區的開孔尺寸而來

區域處之中心導體與罩體間的材料之後,介電質即可被注 2〇入該中央區域,然後再繼續蝕刻直到所有的犧牲材料被除 去為止。在該蝕刻的某一時點,該等阻障將會釋離,且可 掉落(假設蝕刻係倒置來進行),或者被除去。由於該嗖叶中 蝕刻孔僅設在該同軸裝置的側壁上,故該等蝕刻阻障的頂 部亦可被省略,因此僅需要二垂直壁,而此將會知速它們 35 1265981 與該裝置的分離。 :=_臂的端部,其中可看到一中心_

The gentleman's second can be selected from New and can not be selected to attack the sacrificial material (such as copper). 5 10 15 20 The side materials of the structural material do not have to have the same choice difference process = slight damage to the sacrificial material is not large Obstruction, as long as the _ _ = material (four) agent is removed, it will not cause the secret agent to unexpectedly reach the body = body. Finding the money for each stage of the _ method is exemplified = 7 (8) ~ 7 (4). 7__ shows the stage after the outer sacrificial material is finely removed, the 7th (4) shows the stage after the mask is removed, and the 7th (4) shows the final stage, wherein the desired structure 202 has been made of the sacrificial material 2 〇 4 released. In some variant embodiments, multiple barrier layers can also be used. In some examples, the sacrificial material may be, for example, nickel, and the structural material may be copper. The 乂^ and ^ such as a stripping agent can also be used. Please note that the Μ-7 stripping agent will attack the copper, so it is best to make sure that the stripping agent does not reach some parts of the desired structure more quickly (as compared to the other that reaches the structure) hurt). In the fourth embodiment, the use of a conformable mask, or at least a portion of the inner surface capable of conforming to the desired structural surface, may result in a more uniform engraving time, thereby reducing damage. The risk of the required structure. Examples 8(a) to 8(c) illustrate an example in which two different sacrificial materials are used together with a structural material. In this process, a stop point is still reached in the etched ruthenium, and the number of etching operations is reduced to two instead of three times in the embodiment shown in Figures 7(a) to 7(d). It may also make the external sacrificial material the same as the structural village material. In the 8th (a) towel, a desired multi-layer structure 202, the skin sacrificial material 204 is completely surrounded (except for the portion of the contact with the substrate 214 24 1265981), the first sacrificial material 2G4 will It is surrounded by the second sacrificial material (except for the part it is in contact with the substrate). A first surname will be used to remove the second sacrificial material 212, and a second (four) will be used to remove the first sacrificial material. In various embodiments, the desired layer formation process will be Before the operation, at the time of the material__, or after the etching operation. 10 15 In some embodiments, the inner surface of the second sacrificial material 212 and the outer surface of the first sacrificial material 204 are compliant or partially conformable to the surface of the desired structure to be used to remove the first sacrifice. The time of the material can be more accurate. In some implementations, the profile analysis of the shaft material can be used to obtain the interface shape of the first and second sacrificial materials, which can achieve a certain degree of homogeneity (ie, removing the sacrificial material). The structure is required to be exposed to all or most of the surface at about the same time. If the shape is different - the surface can be at least partially due to - or a plurality of shapes It is caused by the underlying rate factor, for example, in some areas, the surname path X limit 'or the axial flow is limited, or (4) becomes saturated trend and so on. 9(a) to 9(c) illustrate an example in which the multilayer structure 2〇2 required for _ has a shelter 203 or the like. Such madness is shown as a very thin "flow bar," and consists of two materials that are identical to structure 202. These peeks may be improperly fixed to the substrate or formed first. Improperly disposed CC cover or the underlying material of the bonded cover material may be referred to as "burr" or may be caused by the structural material that is flattened in the sacrificial material. May be called "broken", or caused by structural material 25 1265981 that is plated in the crack of the sacrificial material (this phenomenon can be called "color ribbon", which typically produces (four) extension and on one side The size is elongated but in a structure with a very thin lateral dimension.) - The first-in-one operation removes the sacrificial material 2{34, as shown by the f9 cap, but leaves the city. Because the #瑕_(10), therefore, the side material 5 of the structural material can be removed from the sound, and (4) the damage will be caused to the required part of the lion 2, as shown in paragraph 9(e)_. If the secretary is used to transfer such The Susu will also attack the structure 202, and it is important to control the time of the money. To strengthen the control, the chosen surname can be diluted to make Use (ie, the concentration of the surname can be less than the recommended or generally known amount, such as 5〇%, 25%, township, 10 or even lower than the recommended concentration range), or at the subnormal temperature Used down (ie, the temperature is lower than the recommended or commonly used temperature of the remnant, such as helium, 1CTC, 2Gt: 'or a much lower temperature than this recommended temperature range. Figure 10(a) shows the fourth group A block diagram of an embodiment. In this set of embodiments, as in the case of Figure 7(a) 7(d), a mask can be made of a mask material, which can be the same as - the sacrifice The material may be different, and the resist material may be selected according to the requirement, that is, the sacrificial material can be (10) not worn by the mask material, although in some embodiments the residual agent may damage the mask. Materials are also acceptable. In some embodiments of the group, the barrier can form a permanent portion of a structural component, even if the shape is not part of a deliberate design. The shape of the barrier material does not adversely affect the availability of the intended structure. In some such embodiments, The barrier material may include a removable component and an element that will become a permanent portion of the structure. In some such embodiments, the removable portion of the barrier may be, for example, operated by a surname, planarized. Removal by operation, or other processing operations. In some embodiments, different from the example of 26 1265981 47(a) to 7(d), the butterfly mask can be made to allow only a certain part, and the (four) agent is prevented from reaching another part of the structure. / The method of drawing 10(a) is started by the operator and is indicated by the numeral 242. The operation 1 is used to make the majority layer and achieve three Results: (1) a desired structure is formed by at least: a structural material; (7) a sacrificial support structure is formed of at least one sacrificial material; and (3) a mask is made of a barrier material, The mask comprises a removable component and may also comprise a permanent structural component. After operation 1 is completed, the process moves to operation 2, 244, which is used to selectively add any other desired _block elements. The barriers - the cows can be held at the desired location by the alpha and held in any suitable manner, such as by adhesion, pressure, holding clips, and the like. The added barrier elements can be electrically conductive or dielectric materials, hard materials, or compliant materials. After operation 2 is completed, the process moves to operation 3, i.e., 246, which is a 15-2 input or multiple butterfly operation that may or may not be intermixed with various desired intermediate operations. The process ride is moved from operation 3 to operation*, 248, which is used to remove at least one etch stop. After operation 4 is completed, the process moves to operation 5, which is 25 〇, which is used for - or multiple additions of the remaining operations, which may or may not be intermixed with the other 20 operations. Completion of operation 5 will completely release the desired structure from the sacrificial material element, or if not fully released, the process will wrap back to operation 2 (244) or operation 4 (248). Figure 10(b) shows a process block diagram of the fifth group of embodiments, in which an etch mask is also used, but the mask is not fixed to the structural material or substrate, 27 1265981 = not easily removable The way to secure the structural material or substrate. These connectors are generally finely structured and will be used to inhibit the release of the barrier material u until it is safely removed. Alternatively, the fine attachment structure can ensure that the movement of the mask does not negatively affect the other money-cutting operations. The example of the finely-fixed structure may be a very thin straight-lined mesh or columnar structure, and the release of the barrier material is accomplished by holding the material and forming a (four) broken (four) element. . The components may also be destroyed by the passage of currents, or they may be removed by #10 or ιΓ (#) to remove the 'secret dragon attack mask material, attacking the desired structure and the fumigate component, but It is best to produce a damaged material in the desired structure. The material comprises at least - structure · = = = as it contains at least - sacrificial material; is not fixed to the desired structure, nor is it made of: military material And the mask requires both structure. , " Gu Yi removal method to fix the 2 〇 process will be moved from operation 1 to operation _ cover: two = _, which is used to remove at least - except that will be previously used by the (four) for 3 (four) . The completion of the operation of the a military 4 represents the enhancement of the surname of the heart. and',. The complete release of the mouth structure from the sacrificial material, or its 28 1265981, may also represent an up-transition state, whereby the process may be bypassed to operation a or in a different manner. In some embodiments, operation 3 will be aborted, and a different operation (example (10) - dielectric to fill the engraved area) will be performed. The embodiment of the method of Figures 10(4) and 1(b) can be used in a variety of situations. Some of these conditions may include, if desired, placing a dielectric material or other permeable material in a selected location while still maintaining at least some of the sacrificial material in place, such that different portions of the structure are locked by a permeable material Relative movement can be avoided before positioning. Certain electrochemically fabricated devices and structures must or preferably have a dielectric or other material as part of the structure, or require that their components maintain a particular geometric relationship to one another (as designed). It will not be damaged by stress, inertial force, thermal effect, etc. In some cases it may be desirable to use another structural material to limit the movement of the components made from the primary structural material. In addition to these effects, in some embodiments, it is also possible to incorporate a second or third structural material into a laminated substrate at the time of manufacture. Use No. as claimed by Brown et al. on December 3, 2002.  U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 10/309,521, entitled "Small Rj7 and Microwave Components and Methods for Making Such Components, and disclosed in US 2003-0222738 A1; and Brown et al., filed June 27, 2003 Νο·10/607931 US 20 patent application, the name of the "micro RF and microwave components and methods used to manufacture these components" and other methods of the RF coaxial components made by the electrochemical method can be used for each An example of a device that can benefit from a combination of partial engraving, rubbing, full surname, and possibly another infiltration, etc. These devices (eg, coaxial devices) can be filled with a dielectric (or other) material. In the space between the center conductor and the cover 29 1265981, there is a benefit in performance or characteristics, because they may cause a short circuit due to the thin and under-supported center conductor contacting the cover, rendering the device unusable. In fact, Even if no contact occurs, if the gap between the center conductor and the cover is not so designed, its performance may be impaired. Brother 11 shows the structure. Similar to the aforementioned No. Some of the coaxial devices described in the US lions, 10/309521 and 10/607931, are simplified for illustration. After the structure is released by removing the sacrificial material, it is theoretically possible to inject a dielectric material. The injection can be achieved by injecting a dielectric material from the first or the remaining holes 314 of the structure, and then infiltrating into the gap between the center conductor 320 and the outer cover 302. Alternatively, the implanting may also place the structure in a vacuum chamber, the mono-flowable material encasing the structure, and then filling the gas into the vacuum chamber to force the flowable material into the opening of the housing And to finish. Material, if the center and conductor have moved away from their location, then the remanufactured dielectric material does not improve the situation. The method of Figure 1(4) can be used to ensure that the structure can be properly made. Hunting with a two-stage green engraving as shown in the u_, Weng can put a new material (such as dielectric) in the first stage, that is, before continuing to etch into the flute, Dingdi, and P white segments. Note that at least - part of the (10) m domain. In the example of the coaxial device of Fig. 11 of Fig. 11, the center of the central conductor 320 of the device is located at the two parts of the device and at the parent fork, and it would be beneficial if the material can remain at its predetermined position. Therefore, in this example, the position of the other part (for example, the position of the center conductor 32 能 which can stabilize the part of the structure relative to the outer cover 302 which is placed between the two arms by the k« Position), and at the end of the money engraved 30 1265981 = the dielectric material is injected between the heart conductor and the cover of the desired area. The remaining sacrificial material will be left over, and if necessary, the dielectric will be added to the /, the remaining area between the outer cover 320 and the center conductor, or even possible In addition to the center conductor and the cover contact area 5 will enclose the entire structure. A preferred embodiment is illustrated in Figures 12(a) through 12(e). In Fig. 12(a), the plane of the portion of the coaxial element is shown in a top view, wherein the plane is selected to intersect the center conductor 332 (the plane of the ... of the U, and the etching) And a permeation hole 326 (314 in the nth figure), etc., and a 1 〇 sacrificial material 334 fills the space between the center conductor 332 and the conductive outer cover 338 (3〇2 in Fig. 11). In an embodiment, the sacrificial material is also formed outside the housing. In Figure 12(b), a region 342 of the interior of the coaxial component is shown to have been etched away leaving some sacrificial material to remain The central conductor is stabilized in situ; 332 to avoid its mosquito removal position. The 15 etched region 342 is filled with a dielectric material 344 as shown in Fig. 12 ((:). The electrically conductive material 344 is now able to secure the center conductor 332 so that the remaining sacrificial material 334 can now be etched away, leaving an open internal surname area and 348, as shown in Figure 12(d). Finally, if needed The etched areas 346, 348, etc. can also be filled with the same or different dielectrics 344, as shown in Figure 20(e). In Figures 12(a) through 12(e) The etching and osmosis methods exemplified in the present invention can be achieved in different ways. For example, the methods are etched in two or more stages. The first example of an etch and etch embodiment is at 13 and 14 (heart) With 14(b) 31 1265981, in this case, the selected area of ' _ not (four) is completely covered (except for the internal material of the turn itself) will be provided, so (d) will only occur in the uncovered area. (4) The name will be engraved. After the completion of the cut, the second...亍~ will provide the 'electrical material to the required area. 嗣The mask will be partially removed, then (4) the original cover The area to be covered, and if so, the dielectric transmissive area is filled with dielectric permeation. More specifically: in this example, the mask includes a permanent structure that is part of the desired structure. , - The permanent structure is not part of the original design or required function, but is added to the convenience of the process, the only temporary cover structure will be removed after use. First of all - to be prioritized The selected smoke from the zone 350 (eg, the intersection zone will be - the smoke from the structural material 348 Surrounding. The smoke is made from the structure 348 and electrochemically made with the desired structure, and the smoke can be seen in the buckle map. The smoke from the zone can be bounded by the sheet structure material 356. That is, it can be seen in Figure 14(4). The web can be made into a layer such as this structure (which may be referred to as a temporary layer), or it may be applied to the structure after the layer is formed. The web has an opening in the smoke from the zone 350. The smoke is automatically inscribed by the zone, and the smoke self-structure and the material cover the sacrificial material at other locations and is shaped like a insect. The article 14 (8) shows that the temporary layer is provided on the first structure, and the entire structure including the sacrificial material is not as partially transparent. The web (i.e., the temporary layer) is made as if it were any layer and can be bonded to the side wall of the smoke structure until it is flattened or removed during the subsequent operation.卞 Then the rest of the control time will enter the _hole 3_ of 32 1265981 on the structure of the i 4 (a) diagram. If two lighter will enter the side of the cover 5 10 = other than the — - some residual sacrificial material will remain in place 2. The body is held in position. The figure) shows that the center of the process/, the medium plate, is shown to be opaque. A dielectric will be injected between the middle body and the outer cover via the holes. The dielectric can also selectively fill the smoke from the area. This residual and osmotic operation can be carried out in an electrochemical manufacturing setup with a suitable etching station and permeation station. I have already. Temporary layers that are not made by Hai will be removed or removed. This removal can be accomplished, for example, by planarization such as polishing. Alternatively, this removal can be done by Hungarian engraving, which only attacks the panel without attacking the dielectric or making the desired structure. The selectivity between the sheet and the material 15 of the desired structure may be the result of using different materials for the sheet and using a selective engraving agent for the material, or separating the sheet and structure due to the sacrificial material. Material, so money engraving can not be achieved by the structural material. The removal of the sheet causes the structure to return to the open state as shown in Figure 13, except that its intersection and possibly the smoke from the area will be filled with a dielectric. 2〇 'Then' the rest of the sacrifice material will be left over. This can be done after the structure has been removed from the electrochemical manufacturing machine (e.g., if the machine is used to make the split) or can be done in the machine. Additional penetration fills can be made if needed. The second example of the etching and infiltration embodiment is illustrated in Figures 15, 16 and 17 (detailed in Figure 33 1265981. In this example, an incomplete mask will be provided ((9) will completely block the residual agent from entering the body. In a certain area, to slow down __(10)# engraving, the difference between the masked area and the non-masked area can be achieved. More specifically, in this case, the mask is not Bonding will retain the structural material as part of the structure, and they will not adhere to the substrate. In this case, the mask will be surrounded by the sacrificial material, and when all the package _ sacrificial material is (four) After that, the materials can be removed or the structure dropped (for example, if the structure is inverted), so that the difference can be caused in the original military area. Due to the delay of the barrier, _ Will only be able to completely reach in a certain area 10 and not completely in other areas. The initial flaw can be suspended, and the cleaning and penetration of the structure will be carried out in the selected area (for example, in the finished area) In the area where the silk is engraved, (4) will be restarted again, and it will continue until all areas have been completely engraved. Then, if necessary, a subsequent infiltration operation is required. In still other embodiments, more than two times the remainder of the i5F segment can also be used in combination with two or more permeation operations. In some embodiments, These barriers can be used to form an extended marginal pass, which allows the surname to follow the run to achieve a desired position (ie, will be delayed by the increased channel). In other implementations In the case, the banknotes can be delayed or not, and most of them rely on the extension of the path. Instead, they rely on the shrinkage of 2 〇 =, and the boxing agent must pass through to obtain the size of the opening of the desired scribe area. It will be slowed down by narrowing the cross-section of the flow path. The delay in other implementations is dependent on a more balanced set of the two different methods described above. In some embodiments, the etch barrier can have a completely solid d 4 only The periphery of the barriers operates to remove the collar 34 1265981 barrier, while in other embodiments the walls can be perforated with holes so that the etchant can be removed in a shorter path The barrier is removed. In the second method, the last name is engraved. The barrier system can be made with the device, which can greatly slow down the device in the (4) region (10) of the two arms. Finally, these barriers become completely released, and can be stunned by the nightmare... ^, drop). The advantage of this second method is that it does not require squaring or (iv) to remove the temporary layer, which is necessary for the first method. Therefore, it will be easier to carry out the entire release and permeation process outside the electrochemical manufacturing machine in which the structure is fabricated. 10 Figures 15, 16 and 17(4) show no RF components, which are similar to those shown in Figure 11, but also use - as in the first! 2, 13, 14 (4) and the home-made structure shown in the figure, an etch barrier 362 is used to nearly but not completely surround the selected portion of the member. In this example, the etch barrier 362 will enclose the four arms ' of the member leaving the intersection of the four arms open, so that the central region of the 15 will be more directly exposed to the etchant. Where a barrier exists, the etchant must leave the material between the Guk barrier and the outer surface of the cover before it can enter the hole on the side of the outer conductor before it can begin moving inward to the center conductor. After the first stage of etching is periodically or controlled to remove material between the center conductor and the cover at the intersection, the dielectric can be injected into the central region and then continue etching until all sacrifices The material is removed. At some point in the etch, the barriers will be released and can be dropped (assuming the etch is inverted) or removed. Since the etched holes in the lobes are only disposed on the sidewalls of the coaxial device, the tops of the etch barriers can also be omitted, so only two vertical walls are needed, and this will be known as the 35 1265981 and the device. Separation. :=_ the end of the arm, wherein a center _ 0 cake is seen by the coined hole 374 of the coaxial line, etc., which is not surrounded, the outer conductor containing 5 10 15 20 material is removed; The shirt can be placed unless all the instruments/entry between the excluded conductors 372 are removed unless sacrificed along the channel 'unless the barrier 382 and... the sacrificial material is completely removed, and the barrier 382 brother 17(b) The figure shows that the same body 392 is filled with the barriers 394 and 398 which are called the center conductor 390 and the outer conductor and the surrounding. These resistances will be formed as early as 5 - the opening of the hole 382 is the channel 396', which is much longer than the one shown in the 17th. In some embodiments, the delay in material addition may be necessary or preferred to ensure that the material in the intersection is completely (four). Figure 18(4) and (m) illustrate a block diagram of two different sets of embodiments, each of which uses a multi-layer paste operation to provide a multi-layer structure on the substrate. In addition to the sacrificial material of (4), the material of the county itself is also a sacrificial material and/or a member of the sacrificial material (for example, a medium) that is attached to the multilayer structure. Such embodiments can be used in embodiments in accordance with the method of the 18th & Figure, when a larger amount of time is required to be used by the substrate or other than the removal of the sacrificial material from the multilayer structure. When the sacrificial material is removed from the sacrificial material, the fresh layer structure can be exposed to the minimum amount of money. The same situation applies to the embodiment of the method of Fig. 18(b). The method of Figure 18(a) begins with operation 1, 402, which is used to make a structure from 36 1265981 layers, and the structure is fabricated on a substrate having a material to be inscribed. Or being attached to a component that contains material to be engraved by the surname. The layers & - the desired shape of the structure are made of at least one structural material and also comprise a sacrificial support structure made of at least one sacrificial material. 5. After the structure is made, or is being manufactured, the process moves to operation 2', i.e., 404. This operation 2 is used to make a barrier element that can be performed with operation 1 or after operation 1 is completed. The process will move from operation 2 to operation 3, ie. This operation 3 is performed - or multiple times - and these _ operations may be (4) not separated by the operation of the middle door 10, and the money-cutting operation removes a small portion of the sacrificial material from the substrate or member. After operation 3, the process moves to operation 4, which is used to remove at least a barrier that will at least partially protect the material from which the multilayer structure is made. 15 The process will move from operation 4 to operation 5, ie. This operation 5 is used to carry out the - or multiple additions of the residual operation, while the sacrificial material is removed from the plurality of layers of the multilayer structure, and the respective operating systems may or may not be separated by two operations. θ Figure 18(b) is similar to the 18(4) diagram, but with some small force changes. Although the operation of Fig. 18(4) is made to protect the multilayer structure material, the operation 2 of the first diagram is used to form a barrier to protect the substrate or member from an initial attack by an etchant. Operation 3 of the l8(a) is similar to the operation $ of the ls(4) diagram, and the remainder is prepared for the remainder of the operation. The multilayer structure is removed from the layer of material. 37 1265981 Material barriers 18(a) and 18( b) Operation 4 of the figure is used to remove etch resistance 5 10 15 20 Operation 5 of Figure 18(b) is similar to operation 3 of Figure 18 (>), used to perform one or more The secondary etching operation removes material from the substrate or member. In both sets of embodiments, the fifth operation allows the structure and substrate or member to be released from the sacrificial material, or the operations can be followed by additional operations to complete the process. It should be understood that operation 5 of Figure 18(a) not only consists of a majority of the material scale sacrificial material 'which may also include the sacrificial material being removed from the substrate or component. Similarly, operation 5 of Figure 18(8) is not limited to the removal of the sacrificial material from the substrate or member, and may also include removal of the sacrificial material from a plurality of layers comprising the structure. VIII - The embodiment according to the method of Fig. 18(a) is shown in the 19th (4) to the figure. Figure 19(4) illustrates a multilayer structure that is loosened onto a substrate and the substrate contains a channel 456 filled with a sacrificial material. The multilayer structure is composed of a region of the sacrificial material 462 and a region of the structural material. Although it is preferable to use a single-operation to the sacrificial material axis of the 19th towel to obtain the structure in the first: it is unlikely. If it takes a long time to force the 456 to remove the sacrifice (4) 'missing in this whole paragraph (four) to make the multi-layer society = exposed to the agent, it may seriously damage the structural material 464 or ^ face ~ mouth this 'In some cases, it may be best not to skip the single operation from the state shown in the figure of the 19 (4) to the state of the 19th (4) diagram. 38 1265981 Thus, in this embodiment, a plurality of operations will be performed to achieve the final result shown in Fig. 19). In Fig. 19(b), a mask 472 is added to the multilayer structure. The barrier layer can be made of a structural material or a different material. The barrier layer is intended to prevent the expense of removing the sacrificial tree material from the channel 456 from reaching the structural material 464. As shown, the barrier layer will be placed in close proximity to the last layer of the gentleman structure, or the mask will be sacrificed by one or more layers in addition to the outer ring of one of the structural materials. The material is spaced from the desired structure. After the mask layer 472 is set, an etchant is applied to the 10 combined multilayer structure, substrate, and barrier layer, so that the etchant attacks the sacrificial material 462 located within the channel 456. This surname will continue for a period of time so that there is little or no sacrifice of material in the passage. The g's diagram shows that u ''T a :3⁄4 remains in the channel near the first layer of the multilayer structure. After the initial surname, 15 the channel 456 has been substantially removed and the barrier layer 472 is removed, as shown in Figure 19(d). The removal of the barrier layer can be carried out by flattening or remaining. However, the appropriate secret can be preferentially removed from the touch I layer: without damaging the structural material, or the structural material needs to be : Itchy sacrificial material to separate from the barrier material. W (20), the button engraving agent used to remove the sacrificial material is applied, and the sacrificial material of the multi-layer structure is removed under the top layer, and the passage of the substrate is followed to make the channel and the multilayer, the gums: Except that the structural material 464 is exposed to the lazy 39 1265981, the etched structure, section, member or device so formed is shown in paragraph 19(e) /, side J may or may not be retained with the final structure, And if necessary, it can be removed, for example, cut before or after the last etching operation. 10 15 20 A person skilled in the art will appreciate that the methods described herein are not limited to the described shapes or devices' and can be applied to a variety of situations where multiple stages of money need to be made. To stabilize a structure, or to protect a particular material or shape, to avoid exposure to etchants for more time than required to achieve the desired goal. The skilled person may also appreciate that many variations of the above-described methods may also include, for example, changes in the number of operations, changes in various operational parameters, changes in (IV) agents, formation of a designated multi-layered constitutive or a part thereof. Changes in actual production methods, etc. Various variations are also possible, for example, the I^P between the two sacrificial materials may be substantially conformable to the shape of the desired structure or, if advantageous, to some other complex shape. In some variations, not all of the etch barriers will completely enclose a desired multilayer structure in which some of the two remaining agents can contact certain areas of the multilayer structure without being in contact with the different μ structures. Other areas of the material. Two, three or more miscellaneous items can also be included. A variety of structural materials can also be used. In other variations, materials such as s, and jin must be in contact with the substrate, and not all materials are all surrounded by others (4). In some implementations, (iv) operations may be accomplished using chemistries, while in other embodiments, electrochemical etch operations may be performed. The various multi-stage residual operations of the various embodiments of the present invention are performed for a variety of reasons. For example, the reason for forming in the Qiutong A °〆 Temple includes but is not limited to (1) can make the simultaneous = layer _, can be very fragile, can be tolerated by 5 bad, and in the required multilayer structure exposure; (3) When the required structure is exposed - the =V: structure of the multi-V structure; and (4) can be used to: - remove the sacrificial material, but not the W layer structure The other part, forgive it to damage the material in 10 animals.
