A method for fabricating a low k, ultra-low k, and extreme-low k multilayer interconnect structure on a substrate in which the interconnect line features are separated laterally by a dielectric with vertically oriented nano-scale voids formed by perforating it using sub-optical lithography patterning and etching techniques and closing off the tops of the perforations by a dielectric deposition step. The lines are supported either by solid or patterned dielectric features underneath. The method avoids the issues associated with the formation of air gaps after the fabrication of conductor patterns and those associated with the integration of conventional low k, ultra-low k and extreme low k dielectrics which have porosity present before the formation of the interconnect patterns.

We disclose targets for generating x-rays using electron beams, along with their method of fabrication. The targets comprise a number of microstructures fabricated from an x-ray target material arranged in close thermal contact with a substrate such that the heat is more efficiently drawn out of the x-ray target material. This in turn allows irradiation of the x-ray generating substance with higher electron density or higher energy electrons, which leads to greater x-ray brightness, without inducing damage or melting.

The microstructures may comprise conventional x-ray target materials (such as tungsten) that are patterned at micron-scale dimensions on a thermally conducting substrate, such as diamond. The microstructures may have any number of geometric shapes to best generate x-rays of high brightness and efficiently disperse heat.

In some embodiments, the target comprising microstructures may be incorporated into a rotating anode geometry, to enhance x-ray generation in such systems.
