Hohlraums are an integral part of indirect drive targets for Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) research. Hohlraums are made by an electroforming process that combines elements of micromachining and coating technology. We describe how these target elements are made and extensions of the method that allow fabrication of other, more complex target components.
