Process for forming an electrode
Abstract
Abstract A process for forming an electrode utilized in apparatus for minimizing the smear of an image produced by xeroradiography. A sheet comprising a thin layer of dielectric material sandwiched between two X-ray transparent electrically conductive surfaces is cut to the desired outside dimensions. A chemically resistant material is applied to both conductive surfaces in a predetermined pattern. The sheet is dipped into an etching bath removing material from the unmasked portions of the conductive surfaces and then dipped into a neutralizing solution to neutralize the etching chemical. The sheet is then rinsed, dried and the resistant material is removed. An adhesive material is coated on one of the conductive surfaces whereby the sheet, formed into the desired electrode, is affixed to the lid of a cassette utilized in the xeroradiography process
