Abstract: Oxygen controlled PVD AlN buffers for GaN-based optoelectronic and electronic devices is described. Methods of forming a PVD AlN buffer for GaN-based optoelectronic and electronic devices in an oxygen controlled manner are also described. In an example, a method of forming an aluminum nitride (AlN) buffer layer for GaN-based optoelectronic or electronic devices involves reactive sputtering an AlN layer above a substrate, the reactive sputtering involving reacting an aluminum-containing target housed in a physical vapor deposition (PVD) chamber with a nitrogen-containing gas or a plasma based on a nitrogen-containing gas. The method further involves incorporating oxygen into the AlN layer.

Abstract: A photocurable composition includes a nanomaterial selected to emit radiation in a first wavelength band in the visible light range in response to absorption of radiation in a second wavelength band in the UV or visible light range, one or more (meth)acrylate monomers, and a photoinitiator that initiates polymerization of the one or more (meth)acrylate monomers in response to absorption of radiation in the second wavelength band. The second wavelength band is different than the first wavelength band. A light-emitting device includes a plurality of light-emitting diodes and the cured photocurable composition in contact with a surface through which radiation in a first wavelength band in the UV or visible light range is emitted from each of the light-emitting diodes.

Abstract: An apparatus for positioning micro-devices on a substrate includes one or more supports to hold a donor substrate and a destination substrate, an adhesive dispenser to deliver adhesive on micro-devices on the donor substrate, a transfer device including a transfer surface to transfer the micro-devices from the donor substrate to the destination substrate, and a controller. The controller is configured to operate the adhesive dispenser to selectively dispense the adhesive onto selected micro-devices on the donor substrate based on a desired spacing of the selected micro-devices on the destination substrate. The controller is configured to operate the transfer device such that the transfer surface engages the adhesive on the donor substrate to cause the selected micro-devices to adhere to the transfer surface and the transfer surface then transfers the selected micro-devices from the donor substrate to the destination substrate.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a substrate carrier for holding a plurality of substrates comprises a disk formed of a continuous material to a nominal dimension which is approximately a multiple of a nominal dimension of a standard substrate size used in the manufacture of light emitting diode devices. In an embodiment, the disk is formed symmetrically about a central axis and defines a substantially planar upper surface. A first pair of pockets is defined in the upper surface of the disk, wherein the disk and each of the first pair of pockets are bisected by a first reference plane passing through the central axis. A second pair of pockets is defined in the upper surface of the disk, wherein the disk and each of the second pair of pockets are bisected by a second reference plane passing through the central axis.
