Abstract:
Methods for protecting circuit device materials, optoelectronic devices, and caps using a reflowable getter are described. The methods, devices and caps provide advantages because they enable modification of the shape and activity of the getter after sealing of the device. Some embodiments of the invention provide a solid composition comprising a reactive material and a phase changing material. The combination of the reactive material and phase changing material is placed in the cavity of an electronic device. After sealing the device by conventional means (epoxy seal for example), the device is subjected to thermal or electromagnetic energy so that the phase changing material becomes liquid, and consequently: exposes the reactive material to the atmosphere of the cavity, distributes the getter more equally within the cavity, and provides enhanced protection of sensitive parts of the device by flowing onto and covering these parts, with a thin layer of material.

Abstract:
A transparent conductor including a conductive layer coated on a substrate is described. More specifically, the conductive layer comprises a network of nanowires that may be embedded in a matrix. The conductive layer is optically clear, patternable and is suitable as a transparent electrode in visual display devices such as touch screens, liquid crystal displays, plasma display panels and the like.
Abstract:
Reliable conductive films formed of conductive nanostructures are described. The conductive films have low levels of silver complex ions and show substantially constant sheet resistance following prolonged and intense light exposure.

Abstract:
A method of forming an integrated circuit layer material is described, comprising depositing a layer of templates on a substrate, said template including a first binding site having an affinity for the substrate, a second binding site having an affinity for a target integrated circuit material and a protecting material coupled to the second binding site via a labile linkage to prevent the binding site from binding to the target integrated circuit material; exposing the template to an external stimulus to degrade the labile linkage; removing the protecting material; and binding the integrated circuit material to the second binding site.
