Abstract
Methods to build multi-functional scattering structures while respecting tight requirements imposed by manufacturing processes are described. The described methods and devices are based on etching away wire networks embedded in 3D structures to form voids in order to perform a target function. Optimization algorithms for designing binarized devices that meet manufacturing requirements are also disclosed.
