Abstract: The disclosed technology provides micro-assembled micro-LED displays and lighting elements using arrays of micro-LEDs that are too small (e.g., micro-LEDs with a width or diameter of 10 μm to 50 μm), numerous, or fragile to assemble by conventional means. The disclosed technology provides for micro-LED displays and lighting elements assembled using micro-transfer printing technology. The micro-LEDs can be prepared on a native substrate and printed to a display substrate (e.g., plastic, metal, glass, or other materials), thereby obviating the manufacture of the micro-LEDs on the display substrate. In certain embodiments, the display substrate is transparent and/or flexible.

Abstract: A method of making a flexible device comprises providing a rigid substrate and a flexible substrate, disposing a layer of print adhesive on the rigid substrate, and micro-transfer printing micro-devices onto the print adhesive. Each of the micro-devices comprises a micro-device substrate separate, independent, and distinct from the rigid substrate and from the flexible substrate. A bonding layer is provided to bond the flexible substrate to the micro-devices such that (i) the bonding layer is disposed between the flexible substrate and the micro-devices and (ii) the micro-devices are disposed between the rigid substrate and the flexible substrate (e.g., forming a device structure). The flexible substrate is separated from the rigid substrate so that the micro-devices remain bonded to the flexible substrate providing a flexible device. The micro-devices can comprise at least a portion of a micro-device tether.

Abstract: Methods of forming integrated circuit devices include forming a sacrificial layer on a handling substrate and forming a semiconductor active layer on the sacrificial layer. The semiconductor active layer and the sacrificial layer may be selectively etched in sequence to define an semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate, which includes a first portion of the semiconductor active layer. A multi-layer electrical interconnect network may be formed on the SOI substrate. This multi-layer electrical interconnect network may be encapsulated by an inorganic capping layer that contacts an upper surface of the first portion of the semiconductor active layer. The capping layer and the first portion of the semiconductor active layer may be selectively etched to thereby expose the sacrificial layer. The sacrificial layer may be selectively removed from between the first portion of the semiconductor active layer and the handling substrate to thereby define a suspended integrated circuit chip encapsulated by the capping layer.

Abstract: A component includes a plurality of electrical connections on a process side opposed to a back side of the component. Each electrical connection includes an electrically conductive multi-layer connection post protruding from the process side. A printed structure includes a destination substrate and one or more components. The destination substrate has two or more electrical contacts and each connection post is in contact with, extends into, or extends through an electrical contact of the destination substrate to electrically connect the electrical contacts to the connection posts. The connection posts or electrical contacts are deformed. Two or more connection posts can be electrically connected to a common electrical contact.

Abstract: A color-conversion structure includes an article comprising a color-conversion material disposed within a color-conversion layer. At least a portion of a tether is within or extends from the article. The color-conversion structure can be disposed over a sacrificial portion of a substrate to form a micro-transfer printable device and micro-transfer printed to a display substrate. The color-conversion structure can include an light-emitting diode or laser diode that is over or under the article. Alternatively, the article is located on a side of a display substrate opposite an inorganic light-emitting diode. A display includes an array of color-conversion structures disposed on a display substrate.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, a method of making a semiconductor structure suitable for transfer printing (e.g., micro-transfer printing) includes providing a support substrate and disposing and processing one or more semiconductor layers on the support substrate to make a completed semiconductor device. A patterned release layer and, optionally, a capping layer are disposed on or over the completed semiconductor device and the patterned release layer or capping layer, if present, are bonded to a handle substrate with a bonding layer. The support substrate is removed to expose the completed semiconductor device and, in some embodiments, a portion of the patterned release layer. In some embodiments, an entry path is formed to expose a portion of the patterned release layer. In some embodiments, the release layer is etched and the completed semiconductor devices transfer printed (e.g., micro-transfer printed) from the handle substrate to a destination substrate.

Abstract: An exemplary wafer structure comprises a source wafer having a patterned sacrificial layer defining anchor portions separating sacrificial portions. A patterned device layer is disposed on or over the patterned sacrificial layer, forming a device anchor on each of the anchor portions. One or more devices are disposed in the patterned device layer, each device disposed entirely over a corresponding one of the one or more sacrificial portions and spatially separated from the one or more device anchors. A tether structure connects each device to a device anchor. The tether structure comprises a tether device portion disposed on or over the device, a tether anchor portion disposed on or over the device anchor, and a tether connecting the tether device portion to the tether anchor portion. The tether is disposed at least partly in the patterned device layer between the device and the device anchor.

Abstract: The present invention provides structures and methods that enable the construction of micro-LED chiplets formed on a sapphire substrate that can be micro-transfer printed. Such printed structures enable low-cost, high-performance arrays of electrically connected micro-LEDs useful, for example, in display systems. Furthermore, in an embodiment, the electrical contacts for printed LEDs are electrically interconnected in a single set of process steps. In certain embodiments, formation of the printable micro devices begins while the semiconductor structure remains on a substrate. After partially forming the printable micro devices, a handle substrate is attached to the system opposite the substrate such that the system is secured to the handle substrate. The substrate may then be removed and formation of the semiconductor structures is completed. Upon completion, the printable micro devices may be micro transfer printed to a destination substrate.
