First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for making a switch, comprising:
- a) depositing a photoimagable dielectric layer onto a substrate;
b) photoimaging at least one channel plate feature on the dielectric layer;
c) developing the dielectric layer to form the at least one channel plate feature in the dielectric layer, thereby forming a channel plate; and
d) aligning the at least one feature formed in the channel plate with at least one feature on a substrate and sealing at least a switching fluid between the channel plate and the substrate.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is a channel plate for a fluid-based switch. The channel plate is produced by 1) depositing a photoimagable dielectric layer onto a substrate, 2) photoimaging at least one channel plate feature on the dielectric layer, and 3) developing the dielectric layer to form the at least one channel plate feature in the dielectric layer, thereby forming the channel plate. A method for making a switch with a photoimaged channel plate is also disclosed.
