Abstract
A component-in-process comprises an ultra-thin foil shadow mask having on at least one side thereof a lamina having a composition and thickness effective to physically support and protect the mask during subsequent processing operations. Such operations include forming apertures in a foil mask blank mounted on a lamina, electroforming a foil mask on a lamina, and etching a mask mounted on a lamina to reduce overall thickness or selectively thin it.
