.~.~ Nonuniform or patterned ion plating or ion implanting (e.g., mask, etc.)
DEFINITION
Classification: 427/526
Nonuniform or patterned ion plating or ion implanting (e.g. mask, etc.):
(under subclass 523) Processes wherein the ion plating or ion implanting (1) is applied only to selected portions of a substrate (2) is applied in such a manner as to produce a coating of uneven, discontinuous, or nonuniform thickness or (3) varies from area to area as to physical or chemical properties.
