ABSTRACT:
Arrays of substantially parallel metallic wires of micron and sub-micron dimensions are made by directionally solidifying the components of a eutectic alloy system as a thin film and subsequently removing at least one of the phases. The arrays are useful, for example, as conductors in microelectronic devices and as diffraction gratings for electromagnetic and ultrasonic waves.
