    摘要: A method of depositing elongated nanostructures that allows accurate positioning and orientation is described. The method involves printing or otherwise depositing elongated nanostructures in a carrier solution. The deposited droplets are also elongated, usually by patterning the surface upon which the droplets are deposited. As the droplet evaporates, the fluid flow within the droplets is controlled such that the nanostructures are deposited either at the edge of the elongated droplet or the center of the elongated droplet. The described deposition technique has particular application in forming the active region of a transistor.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for using TFT transistors or MIS capacitors as light-sensing elements in charge mapping arrays. A bias stress may be applied to a plurality of pixels in a charge map array. As a result, charge carriers may be trapped in each of the plurality of pixels responsive to the bias stress, which may be observed as a value shift such as a threshold voltage VT shift. Light may then be transmitted toward the plurality of pixels in the charge map array causing some of the pixels to absorb the light. The trapped charge carriers are released in the pixels that absorbed the light and not released in the pixels that did not absorb the light. The value shift in each of the pixels can be compared to determine which of the pixels absorbed the light.

    摘要: A method of forming a thin-film layered electronic device over a flexible substrate comprises the steps of depositing a buffer layer over the flexible substrate, heating the substrate and buffer layer stack to a temperature at which plastic deformation of the buffer layer takes place, cooling the stack, then forming the thin-film electronic device over the plastically deformed buffer layer without further plastic deformation of the buffer layer. The heating and cooling to cause plastic deformation of the buffer layer is referred to as annealing. The thin-film electronic device is formed by a process according to which all steps are performed at a temperature below that at which further plastic deformation of the buffer layer occurs. In-process strain and runout are reduced, improving device yield on flexible substrates. An optional metal base layer may be formed over the buffer layer prior annealing.

    摘要: A digital lithography system including a droplet source (printhead) for selectively ejecting liquid droplets of a phase-change masking material, and an imaging system for capturing (generating) image data representing printed features formed by the ejected liquid droplets. The system also includes a digital control system that detects defects in the printed features, for example, by comparing the image data with stored image data. The digital control system then modifies the printed feature to correct the defect, for example, by moving the printhead over the defect and causing the printhead to eject droplets onto the defect's location. In one embodiment, a single-printhead secondary printer operates in conjunction with a multi-printhead main printer to correct defects.

    摘要: Controlled overetching is utilized to produce metal patterns having gaps that are smaller than the resolution limits of the feature patterning (e.g., photolithography) process utilized to produce the metal patterns. A first metal layer is formed and masked, and exposed regions are etched away. The etching process is allowed to continue in a controlled manner to produced a desired amount of over-etching (i.e., undercutting the mask) such that an edge of the first metal layer is offset from an edge of the mask by a predetermined gap distance. A second metal layer is then deposited such that an edge of the second metal layer is spaced from the first metal layer by the predetermined gap distance. The metal gap is used to define, for example, transistor channel lengths, thereby facilitating the production of transistors having channel lengths defined by etching process control that are smaller than the process resolution limits.

    摘要: Two different processing techniques are utilized to respectively form high resolution features and low resolution features in a critical layer of an electronic device, and in particular a large area electronic device. High resolution features are formed by soft lithography, and low resolution features are formed by jet-printing or using a jet-printed etch mask. Jet-printing is also used to stitch misaligned structures. Alignment marks are generated with the features to coordinate the various processing steps and to automatically control the stitching process. Thin-film transistors are formed by generating gate structures using a first jet-printed etch mask, forming source/drain electrodes using soft lithography, forming interconnect structures using a second jet-printed etch mask, and then depositing semiconductor material over the source/drain electrodes. Redundant structures are formed to further improve tolerance to misalignment, with non-optimally positioned structures removed (etched) during formation of the low resolution interconnect structures.
