摘要： Material may be obliquely deposited on a plurality of down-web oriented features on a substrate oriented in a down-web (z) direction or other than a cross-web (y) direction. A linear source generates a vapor flux of a material oriented parallel to the substrate and either parallel to the y direction or at an angle intermediate the y and z directions. The vapor flux impinges on the substrate at an oblique angle relative to the y direction. The substrate moves in the z direction relative to the linear source as the material impinges on the substrate. The vapor flux has a sufficiently narrow angular distribution in a plane perpendicular the substrate and parallel to the y direction that material deposits on predetermined portions of the down-web oriented features but not other portions, forming parallel down-web oriented lines of the material on the substrate.

摘要： A method of making a micro electromechanical switch or tunneling sensor. A cantilevered beam structure and a mating structure are defined on a first substrate or wafer; and at least one contact structure and a mating structure are defined on a second substrate or wafer, the mating structure on the second substrate or wafer being of a complementary shape to the mating structure on the first substrate or wafer. A bonding layer, preferably a eutectic bonding layer, is provided on at least one of the mating structures. The mating structure of the first substrate is moved into a confronting relationship with the mating structure of the second substrate or wafer. Pressure is applied between the two substrates so as to cause a bond to occur between the two mating structures at the bonding or eutectic layer. Then the first substrate or wafer is removed to free the cantilevered beam structure for movement relative to the second substrate or wafer.

摘要： A cost-effective broadband tunable Fabry-Perot interferometer uses entropic, rather than enthalpic, materials to provide the compliant support for the interferometer's movable mirror. Entropic materials exhibit an entropic plateau region over a wide frequency range with a Young's modulus much lower than enthalpic materials, linear elastic behavior over a wide deformation range, and, in certain geometries, energy and stress behavior that tend to stabilize the movable mirror during deformation. The compliant support can be configured in a variety of geometries including compression, tension, sheer and diaphragm and of a variety of materials including elastomers, aerogels or other long chained polymers.

摘要： A micromirror light valve target configuration that overcomes the problems of limited deflection range, electrostatic and resolution by forming the secondary electron collector grid of a fine conductive mesh and placing it in close proximity to the micromirror array. The source, preferably a fixed beam array, addresses the micromirror array such that it exhibits a secondary emission coefficient less than one to write a negative charge pattern onto the mirrors so that they are attracted to the collector grid. If the anode is also in close proximity to the array, the mirrors can be addressed so that they deflect up toward the grid and down toward the anode thereby increasing the deflection range.

摘要： A thin low power, paper white, direct-view display includes an array of bistable micromirrors that are deflected between two stable states, a dark state in which the mirror covers a portion of the background and a white state in which the mirror uncovers the background. The drive electronics are similar to those used in multiplexed LCDs but are modified in order to drive the micromirrors to one of their two stable states. The micromirrors in the enabled row are attracted up or down with sufficient force to exceed the micromirrors' bistable threshold and deflect the micromirrors to their dark and white states, respectively. The attractive forces on the micromirrors in the remaining non-enabled rows are insufficient to exceed the micromirrors' bistable threshold so that the micromirrors remain in their current stable state.

摘要： The present invention provides a Schlieren projection system with a large aperture reflective imager. The combination of a beam-addressed CCM design with flat-panel manufacturing techniques configuration produces a large aperture imager that overcomes the problems of limited deflection range, high beam current, electrostatic instability and limited resolution associated with known electrostatically-actuated micromirror targets. The CCM imager includes a thin insulating membrane that decouples the electron beam from the micromirror array. Decoupling also allows the mirror to be designed to optimize reflectivity, exhibit a higher resonant frequency for better video performance, and be fabricated simultaneously with the hinges. The CCM imager is fabricated using flat-panel manufacturing techniques that are ideally suited to producing large aperture devices at low cost.

摘要： A beam addressed electrostatically-actuated charge controlled mirror (CCM) with frame time utilization approaching 100% is provided by partially coating the CCM's pixelized beam addressing surface with a material having the opposite electron affinity. Each pixel of the pixelized beam addressing surface has first and second portions that exhibit secondary emission coefficients that are respectively less than and greater than one for the same beam energy. A beam or beams that are capable of subpixel resolution selectively address each pixel's first and second portions to control the amount of charge on the pixelized beam addressing surface and its localized potentials.

摘要： A 3-D IC chip assembly is formed from stacked substrates in which each individual substrate has a plurality of different IC chips retained in respective recesses. Conductive feedthroughs extend through the substrate from the side where the chips are located to the opposite side, with the chips electrically connected to the feedthroughs. An electrical routing network on the opposite side of the substrate from the chips provides desired interconnections between the chips by connecting to the feedthroughs. The routing can be formed by standard photolithographic techniques.
