A microelectronic device includes a non-polymeric substrate, an organic interlayer, and a indium tin oxide layer formed on the organic interlayer; the indium tin oxide layer including an ablated feature within said indium tin oxide layer, wherein said indium tin oxide layer is formed by an indium tin oxide solution that is laser ablated prior to sintering. Applicant respectfully submits that the above amendments bring the Abstract into compliance with MPEP &#xa7;608.01 (b). Accordingly, Applicant respectfully requests reconsideration and withdrawal of the objection to the abstract.

Microelectronic device patterned by ablating and subsequently sintering said microelectronic device

A method of preparing a surface of a counterbore surrounding an orifice in an orifice layer includes determining a property of a fluid to be ejected through the orifice, and controlling a surface characteristic of the counterbore surface based on the property of the fluid.

Method of preparing orifice counterbore surface

An etching method includes applying a first electromagnetic radiation to an area of structure, thereby altering a characteristic of the structure in the area, and applying a second electromagnetic radiation to the structure, the second electromagnetic radiation configured to selectively ablate the structure based on the characteristic.

Etching

A method of making a patterned metal oxide film includes jetting a sol-gel solution on a substrate. The sol-gel solution is dried to form a gel layer on the substrate. Portions of the gel layer are irradiated to pattern the gel layer and to form exposed portions. Irradiation causes the exposed portions of the gel layer to become at least one of substantially condensed to an oxide, substantially densified, substantially cured, and combinations thereof. The unexposed portions of the gel layer are removed, thereby forming the patterned metal oxide film.

A method of plating a substrate including coating a substrate surface, laser-treating a region of the coated surface, and plating the region.

Laser enhanced plating for forming wiring patterns

Embodiments of methods, apparatuses, devices, and/or systems for forming a thin film are described.

A fluid ejection device comprises a substrate including a fluid ejector thereon, and an orifice member positioned over said substrate. The orifice member has a fluid-transfer bore extending therethrough and corresponding to the fluid ejector. The orifice member further has a counter-bore about the fluid-transfer bore.

Counter-bore of a fluid ejection device

A surface characteristic is determined by a property of a fluid capable of contacting the surface. The surface characteristic is based on the property of the fluid.
