Electrical discharge machining system including in-situ tool electrode
An additive manufactured workpiece includes one or more cavities having an inner surface. A dielectric interface is formed in the cavity, and conforms to the inner surface. The additive manufactured workpiece further includes an in-situ electrode in the cavities. The dielectric interface is interposed between the in-situ electrode and the inner surface of the workpiece.
Substrate processing apparatus and substrate processing method
A substrate processing apparatus includes a substrate rotator, a processing liquid supply, an anode and a cathode, and a controller. The substrate rotator is configured to hold and rotate a substrate. The processing liquid supply is configured to supply a processing liquid to the substrate held by the substrate rotator. The anode and the cathode are configured to apply a voltage to the processing liquid supplied from the processing liquid supply. The controller is configured to control the substrate rotator, the processing liquid supply, and the anode and the cathode. The controller allows, by contacting the anode and the cathode with the processing liquid independently, the processing liquid in contact with the anode and the processing liquid in contact with the cathode to be supplied to the substrate while being spaced apart from each other when the substrate is rotated.
