Abstract:
1. An electrochemical cell having a chamber for containing an electrolyte, the electrochemical cell further comprising: a bottom substrate having a bottom substrate chamber side and a bottom substrate back side; a top substrate having a top substrate chamber side and a top substrate back side; a chamber disposed between the top and bottom substrate and defined in part by the chamber sides of the top and bottom substrates; one or more bottom windows in the bottom substrate, the bottom window having a bottom window cover facing the chamber; one or more top windows in the top substrate, the top window having a top window cover facing the chamber, the top window and bottom window each having a portion in alignment so that an electron beam passes through both respective portions; a spacer deposited on the chamber side of the bottom substrate and forming walls surrounding the chamber; and two or more planar electrodes patterned on the chamber side of the bottom substrate, each planar electrode having a first portion that is disposed within a same interior region of the chamber and a second portion that is disposed external to the chamber and a third portion that is overlapped by a portion of the spacer forming said walls, wherein the first and second and third portions of each planar electrode are electrically continuous.
