A method for microstructure modification of conducting lines is provided. An electroplating process is performed to deposit the metal thin film/conducting line(s) with a face-centered cubic (FCC) structure and a preferred crystallographic orientation over a surface of a substrate. The metal thin film/conducting line(s) is subsequently subjected to a thermal annealing process to modify its microstructure with the grain sizes in a range of 5 μm to 100 μm. The thermal annealing process is conducted at the temperature of above 25 degrees Celsius and below 240 degrees Celsius.

In one embodiment, a method for manufacturing an aperture plate includes depositing a releasable seed layer above a substrate, applying a first patterned photolithography mask above the releasable seed layer, the first patterned photolithography mask having a negative pattern to a desired aperture pattern, electroplating a first material above the exposed portions of the releasable seed layer and defined by the first mask, applying a second photolithography mask above the first material, the second photolithography mask having a negative pattern to a first cavity, electroplating a second material above the exposed portions of the first material and defined by the second mask, removing both masks, and etching the releasable seed layer to release the first material and the second material. The first and second material form an aperture plate for use in aerosolizing a liquid. Other aperture plates and methods of producing aperture plates are described according to other embodiments.

The present invention relates to an electromagnetic wave shielding sheet for an antenna, to a method for manufacturing same, to an antenna comprising same, and to a battery pack for a portable terminal having said antenna. The method for manufacturing the electromagnetic wave shielding sheet for the antenna may reduce a frequency variation, provide a heat-dissipating function, and prevent peel-off. The method comprises: a step of preparing a ferrite sheet; and step of placing a heat-dissipating layer on one side of the ferrite sheet. The present invention has advantages in that the adhesive forces of the ferrite sheet and the heat-dissipating layer are excellent and the heat-dissipating effects are excellent, the electromagnetic wave shielding sheet can be applied to various antenna products, and the frequency variation can be reduced when the antenna having the electromagnetic wave shielding sheet is mounted on the battery pack.
