摘要:
Via holes are formed in a continuous inline shadow mask production system by depositing a first conductor layer and subsequently depositing a first insulator layer over a portion of the first conductor layer. The first insulator layer is deposited in a manner to define at least one notch along its edge. The second insulator layer is then deposited on another portion of the first conductor layer in a manner whereupon the second insulator layer slightly overlaps each notch of the first insulator layer, thereby forming the one or more via holes. A conductive filler can optionally be deposited in each via hole. Lastly, a second conductive layer can be deposited over the first insulator layer, the second insulator layer and, if provided, the conductive filler.

摘要:
A system and method for active array temperature sensing and cooling. The system includes an active temperature sensing layer, a thermoelectric cooling layer and a heatsink layer. The temperature sensing layer is formed of temperature sensing elements that sense the temperature gradient across an unevenly heated region of the active array substrate. The thermoelectric cooling layer controls the temperature gradient sensed by the temperature sensing layer. The heatsink layer includes a plurality of cooling channels for absorbing thermal energy from the unevenly heated region. The system is under the control of a process control computer.
摘要:
In a shadow mask vapor deposition system, a first conductor is vapor deposited on a substrate and an insulator is vapor deposited on the first conductor. A second conductor is then vapor deposited on at least the insulator. The insulator layer is plasma etched either before or after the vapor deposition of the second conductor to define in the insulator layer a via hole through which at least a portion of the first conductor is exposed. An electrical connection is established between the first and second conductors by way of the via hole.

A multi-layer electronic device can be formed to include an insulative substrate (212), a first vapor deposited conductor layer (312) on the insulative substrate (212), a first vapor deposited insulator layer (314) on the first conductor layer (312), the first insulator layer (314) having at least one via hole (316) therein, and a vapor deposited conductive filler (320) in the via hole (316) of the first insulator layer (314). Desirably, the conductive filler (320) is deposited in the via hole (316) of the first insulator layer (314) such that the surface of the conductive filler (320) opposite the first conductor layer (312) is substantially planar with the surface of the first insulator layer (314) opposite the first conductor layer (312).
摘要:
A shadow mask deposition system includes a plurality of identical shadow masks arranged in a number of stacks to form a like number of compound shadow masks, each of which is disposed in a deposition vacuum vessel along with a material deposition source. Materials from the material deposition sources are deposited on the substrate via openings in corresponding compound shadow masks, each opening being formed by the whole or partial alignment of apertures in the shadow masks forming the compound shadow mask, to form an array of electronic elements on the substrate.

A large area integrated solid-state flat panel display is detailed in which thin film transistor addressing and drive circuitry is provided at each individual picture point with a display medium. The preferred display medium is an electroluminescent phosphor layer. An insulating layer of laminated photoresist is disposed over all electrical circuit elements except the electroluminescent drive electrodes.

摘要:
A method of producing a color filter to be used in conjunction with a display element such as an active or passive matrix liquid crystal panel. The color filter is formed by a stack of exposed and developed film layers, and each layer corresponds to a color of the resulting filter. The stack of exposed film layers is deposited on a transparent sheet.
摘要:
An improved method of fabricating integrated circuits, particularly active matrix arrays. The present method comprises applying an etch-resist pattern to an integrated circuit by printing to form resist patterns. The circuit is then etched, recoated with a different substance, a new ink pattern applied and the pattern repeated to form the successive layers of the integrated circuit.
