PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fine cavity forming system appropriately forming fine cavities on an arbitrary surface of a wire. SOLUTION: A system (10) forming the fine cavities in a wire (particularly, tungsten filament wire) has a coating station (20) receiving a wire (14) and applying polymer coating thereto. A mask forming station (40) receives the wire with the polymer coating applied thereto, and forms a mask having air bubbles which form holes in the coating, by blowing wet air on the coating. An etching station (60) receives the polymer-coated wire from the mask forming station (40), applies etching on the wire through the holes in the polymer mask, and forms the fine cavities in the wire. A stripping station (80) removes the polymer mask from the wire, thus, the wire having the fine cavities is manufactured. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
