Abstract:
A method for processing a thin film micro device on a substrate includes: 1) depositing a carbon film on the substrate as a sacrificial layer; 2) photolithographically defining a first predetermined pattern in the carbon film; 3) etching an unwanted portion of the carbon film outside the first predetermined pattern; 4) depositing a structural film including a single or multiple layers of solid state materials; 5) photolithographically defining a second predetermined pattern in the structural film; 6) etching the discarded portion of the structural film outside the second predetermined pattern; 7) selectively removing the remaining portion of the sacrificial carbon film by using a selective etch process gas in a reactor chamber, so that the overlapped portion of the remaining structural element with the first predetermined pattern is suspended above an underneath cavity above the substrate.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for purifying boron trichloride by removal of phosgene. In accordance with the invention, phosgene is photolytically decomposed into carbon monoxide and chlorine and liquid vapor phase in equilibrium with one another and in solution with the boron trichloride. This equilibrium is disturbed preferably by sparging a vapor stream that rises through the boron trichloride and is composed of the substance, such as nitrogen, to disturb the equilibrium and thereby cause the carbon monoxide and chlorine to be carried out of solution and collect in the overhead space. The decomposition product of chlorine and carbon monoxide can then be removed from the vapor space so that the carbon monoxide and chlorine does not recombine and contaminate the boron trichloride with phosgene.

An inertia MEMS sensor and a manufacturing method are provided. The inertia MEMS sensor includes a main body and a weight block relatively removable. The main body includes a first main body with a first surface and a second main body vertically connecting with the first surface. A first electrode parallel to the first surface is in the first main body. A second electrode perpendicular to the first surface is in the second main body. The weight block is suspended in a space defined by the first and second main bodies. The weight block includes a third electrode parallel to the first surface, a forth electrode is perpendicular to the first surface, and a weight layer. The third electrode connects with the forth electrode to form a U-shaped groove for accommodating the weight layer, thereby increasing the weight block weight, improving precision and reducing the cost.
Abstract:
An optical projection engine device uses a symmetrical wire grid polarizing beam splitter (PBS) that splits incident illumination to a symmetrical pair of polarized light beams in two orthogonal polarization states, one by reflection and the other by transmission, for illuminating a pair of reflective modulation imagers respectively. In identical geometric configuration, the two synchronized reflective modulation imagers polarization modulate polarized light beams as received, and reflect them back towards the PBS, which through transmission and reflection respectively, combines and projects two modulated light beams through a projection lens system to form a pair of spatially overlapped illumination images of aligned pixels with the same image in two orthogonal polarization states on a projection screen. The device jointly provides improvement optical efficiency and expanded function to three dimensional stereoscopic displays.
