Targets and processes for fabricating same

In particular embodiments, the present disclosure provides targets including a metal layer and defining a hollow inner surface. The hollow inner surface has an internal apex. The distance between at least two opposing points of the internal apex is less than about 15 m. In particular examples, the distance is less than about 1 m. Particular implementations of the targets are free standing. The targets have a number of disclosed shaped, including cones, pyramids, hemispheres, and capped structures. The present disclosure also provides arrays of such targets. Also provided are methods of forming targets, such as the disclosed targets, using lithographic techniques, such as photolithographic techniques. In particular examples, a target mold is formed from a silicon wafer and then one or more sides of the mold are coated with a target material, such as one or more metals.

A finish part including a metal body, a metal engagement arm extending integrally from the body, a detent depending from the arm, the detent being formed from the metal of the arm that is plastically deformed out of a plane of the arm. A method for installing a finish part including aligning the engagement arm of the finish part with an opening in a structure upon which the part is to be installed, and urging the engagement arm and the detent into the opening. A structure including a frame having exposed unfinished surfaces, and the metal finish part disposed upon the unfinished surface and that finishes the unfinished surface.
