Abstract
A dielectric element includes a bottom surface, a top surface, and a plurality of cells formed vertically between the bottom surface and the top surface. Each cell of the plurality of cells includes a cell sidewall that extends below the top surface toward the bottom surface. The cell sidewall forms an aperture in the top surface and tapers from the top surface toward a center of a respective cell. Each cell sidewall is formed of a dielectric material.
