    Abstract: A system and method for fabricating a mandrel wound antenna are provided. The method includes securing a first end of a wire to a first portion of a mandrel tool, where the mandrel tool includes a faceplate supporting a plurality of posts, and the posts arranged and disposed to define non-overlapping circumferential patterns. The method also includes wrapping the wire around outer peripheries of the plurality of posts to form non-overlapping wire coils around the plurality of circumferential patterns to provide an antenna. The method further includes securing a second end of the wire to a second portion of the mandrel tool, cutting the wire in proximity to the second end, attaching the antenna to a substrate separate from the faceplate, and detaching the antenna from the faceplate.

    Abstract: A method of forming a gate electrode (24′) for a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) integrated circuit is disclosed. A hardmask layer (26), for example formed of silicon-rich nitride, is deposited over a polysilicon layer (24) from which the gate electrode (24′) is to be formed. An anti-reflective coating, or bottom anti-reflective coating or BARC, layer (29) is then formed over the hardmask layer (26), and photoresist (30) is photolithographically patterned to define the pattern of the gate electrode (24′), although to a wider, photolithographic, width (LW). The pattern is transferred from the photoresist (30) to the BARC layer (29). The remaining elements of the BARC layer (29) are then trimmed, preferably by a timed isotropic etch, to a sub-lithographic width (SW). This pattern is then transferred to the hardmask layer (26) by an anisotropic etch of that layer, using the trimmed BARC elements (29) as a mask. The hardmask layer elements (26′) then mask the etch of the underlying polysilicon layer (24), to define the gate electrodes (24′), having gate widths that are narrower than the minimum dimension available through photolithography.

    Abstract: A unique, solid flat panel lighting emitting luminaire has been created that utilizes a light source remote from the luminaire coupled with a hollow light pipe. The light panel luminaire is fed light flux via a hollow light pipe system into one or two edges of the flat panel. The light panel has imbedded irregular tapered tetrahedron light guides that emit light in a uniform controlled fashion over the length of the emitting surface. The subject lighting luminaire provides light emitted from an adjacent High Intensity Discharge (HID) light source. The luminaire is specifically designed to provide light over a large surface for backlit billboard applications without the limitations of traditional fluorescent light source light boxes. The luminaire does not require any maintenance to its interior as the light source is remote from the emitting surface. The luminaire is one continuous surface without visible seams, that would allow direct attachment of paint or transparency informational signage or simply provide a large surface of homogenous light for a back lit replaceable mediums. The light panel design allows the use of a signal or multiple light sources within a hollow light pipe light concentrator. One or more lamp types such as metal halide and/or high pressure sodium could be combined to deliver a color balanced light flux light source. The longevity and high efficiency of the HID light source light bulbs over fluorescent bulbs is well known. The light source is remote from the light emitting surface and allows any transparent, semi-transparent or semi-opaque material to be installed permanently of temporarily without having to be removed from the light panel emitting surface to facilitate bulb replacement or light box maintenance. The tapered hollow light pipe concentrator efficiently collects light flux and delivers the flux to the edge of the light panel without using glass or plastic fiber optic light guides. Light emitting panel sections can be fabricated and assembled into one homogeneous surface for any usual billboard size.
