Abstract

Methods of forming a fluid channel in a semiconductor substrate may include applying a material layer to at least one surface of the semiconductor substrate. The method may further include manipulating the material layer to form a surface topography corresponding to a channel, the surface topography being configured to control directionality of ion bombardment of said substrate along electromagnetic field lines in a plasma sheath coupled to said surface topography.
