Abstract
Micromachined holes in stacks of silicon wafers can be used to define high aspect ratio charged particle storage volumes. Each wafer can define a section of a tubular trap, and electric fields in each wafer can be controlled independently so that charged particles can be stored and shuttled among the sections.
