Abstract:
1. A process for forming a multilayer three-dimensional structure, comprising: (a) forming a layer of at least one material on a substrate that may include one or more previously deposited layers of one or more materials; (b) repeating the forming operation of “(a)” one or more times to form at least one subsequent layer on at least one previously formed layer to build up a three-dimensional structure from a plurality layers; wherein the forming of at least one layer, comprises: wherein a plurality of the cells of the multi-cell mask comprise a passage in proximity to the cell electrode for allowing ion exchange between the electrolyte in the process pockets and a larger volume of electrolyte located outside the process pockets such that ions may be transferred between the substrate and one or more electrodes located outside the process pockets.
