Abstract
The Spark Assisted Chemical Engraving (SACE) process is a widely utilized method for the microfabrication of non-conductive materials, such as glass and ceramics, through the application of the voltage between a tool electrode and a counter electrode in an electrolyte bath.The voltage creates bubbles around the tooltip, and if the voltage exceeds the critical voltage, the bubbles coalesce to form a gas film that acts as an insulation layer and causes the flow of current in the form of discharges, ultimately etching the workpiece placed beneath the tool and within the electrolyte.The gas film breaks and reforms every few milliseconds and the performance of the SACE process is linked to its various interdependent parameters including the gas film formation time and lifetime, the discharge current, energy, and frequency.The estimation of the parameters could be achieved through the analysis of recorded current signals, which exhibit distinct spikes, each corresponding to specific stages of the gas film formation, discharges, and potentially defective gas films.The spikes vary in shape, amplitude, and width, making it challenging to accurately identify them.Inaccurate identification can negatively impact the estimation of the properties of the gas film and sparks.To improve the accuracy of identification, a high-speed camera was employed to observe and capture the formation of gas films, their subsequent collapse and discharges in the SACE process.The captured data was synchronized with the recorded current signal to reveal the true nature of the distinct spikes that appear in the signal.Furthermore, the SACE machine was run under various conditions and the information gathered from the high-speed camera was utilized to train a Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN) for the purpose of time series classification.The TCN aimed to accurately recognize the different stages of the SACE process, which would in turn facilitate the accurate and efficient characterization of the gas film and discharges.The network was optimized using a Bayesian method, resulting in a network accuracy of approximately 95%.The use of a high-speed camera in combination with the TCN provides a comprehensive and reliable approach to identifying the distinct spikes in the SACE process and accurately characterizing the gas film and discharges that occur during the microfabrication of non-conductive materials.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
