    摘要: A process for fabricating fine features such as small gate electrodes on a transistor. The process involves the jet-printing of a mask and the plating of a metal to fabricate sub-pixel and standard pixel size features in one layer. Printing creates a small sub-pixel size gap mask for plating a fine feature. A second printed mask may be used to protect the newly formed gate and etch standard pixel size lines connecting the small gates.

    摘要: A method to pattern films into dimensions smaller than the printed pixel mask size. A printed mask is deposited on a thin film on a substrate. The second mask layer is selectively deposited onto the film, but not to the printed mask. A third mask is then printed onto the substrate to pattern a portion of the second mask. Certain solvents are then used to remove the printed mask but not the mask layer on the thin film. The mask layer is then used to form a pattern on the thin film in combination with etching. The features formed in the thin film are smaller than the smallest dimension of the printed mask. The coated mask layer can be a self-assembled mono-layer or other material that selectively binds to the thin film.

    摘要: Susceptibility of darkfield etch masks (majority of the mask area is opaque) to pinhole defects, transferred pattern, non-uniformity, etc. due to ejector dropout or drop misdirection, and long duty cycles due to large-area coverage, when using digital lithography (or print patterning) is addressed by using a clear-field print pattern that is then coated with etch resist material. The printed clear field pattern is selectively removed to form an inverse pattern (darkfield) within the coated resist layer. Etching then removes selected portions of an underlying (e.g., encapsulation, conductive, etc.) layer. Removal of the mask produces a layer with large-area features with substantially reduced defects.

    摘要: A Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) assembly including a VCSEL structure having a light-emitting region located on its surface, a relatively wettable region of a surface modifier coating formed over the light emitting region, and a microlens formed on the relatively wettable region. A relatively non-wettable region of the surface modifier coating is formed around the light-emitting region (e.g., on the electrode surrounding the light-emitting region). The surface modifier coating is formed, for example, from one or more organothiols that change the surface energies of the light-emitting region and/or the electrode to facilitate self-assembly and self-registration of the microlens material. The microlens material is printed, microjetted, or dip coated onto the VCSEL structure such that the microlens material wets to the relatively wettable region, thereby forming a liquid bead that is reliably positioned over the light-emitting region. The liquid bead is then cured to form the microlens.
