Precision micro-machined apertures are fabricated from silicon on insulator (SOI) wafers. Lithographic processing allows great flexibility in the aperture design, enabling precise placement of apertures, through holes, and chip outlines. Optionally, metal can be deposited for low emissivity and multiwall vertically-aligned carbon nanotubes can be grown for high emissivity.
