ELECTRONIC SUPPORTS AND METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR FORMING APERTURES IN ELECTRONIC SUPPORTS

摘要

The present invention provides a method of forming an aperture (414) in an electronic support (410), comprising: A) positioning an electronic support (410) in registry with an aperture forming device (412); and B) forming an aperture (414) at least partially through the electronic support (410) with the aperture forming device (412) while dispensing a fluid stream (420) comprising at least one solid lubricant (422), proximate the aperture forming device (412) during at least a portion of the forming operation, such that the at least one solid lubricant (422) contacts at least a portion (422) of an interface (426) between the aperture forming device (412) and the electronic support (410).
