Abstract
The described embodiments relate to methods and systems of forming slots in a substrate. One exemplary embodiment forms a feature into a substrate having a first substrate surface and a second substrate surface, and moves a sand drill nozzle along the substrate to remove substrate material sufficient to form, in combination with said forming, a slot through the substrate.

31. A method comprising:
-
forming a feature into a first surface of a substrate, the feature having a tapered elevational profile;
positioning a sand drill nozzle proximate to a second generally opposite surface of the substrate; and
,moving the sand drill nozzle generally along the feature at a speed that is a function of an elevational thickness of substrate material between the nozzle and the feature. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 35, 36, 37)
