Zusammenfassung:	Embodiments of the invention relate generally to turbine blades and, more particularly, to the formation of cooling channels on a surface of a turbine blade and turbine blades including such cooling channels. In one embodiment, the invention provides a method of forming a cooling channel along a surface of a turbine blade, the method comprising: applying a first mask material to a first portion of a surface of a turbine blade; forming a first barrier layer atop the first mask material and atop a second portion of the surface of the turbine blade; removing the first mask material and the barrier layer atop the first mask material to expose the first portion of the surface of the turbine blade; and etching the first portion of the surface of the turbine blade to form a cooling channel along the surface of the turbine blade.
