    摘要: Large-area electronics (LAE) enables the formation of a large number of sensors capable of spanning dimensions on the order of square meters. An example is X-ray imagers, which have been scaling both in dimension and number of sensors, today reaching millions of pixels. However, processing of the sensor data requires interfacing thousands of signals to CMOS ICs, because the implementation of complex functions in LAE has proven unviable due to the low electrical performance and inherent variability of the active devices available, namely amorphous silicon (a-Si) thin-film transistors (TFTs) on glass. Envisioning applications that perform sensing on even greater scales, disclosed is an approach whereby high-quality image detection is performed directly in the LAE domain using TFTs. The high variability and number of process defects affecting both the TFTs and sensors are overcome using a machine-learning algorithm, known as Error-Adaptive Classifier Boosting (EACB), to form an embedded classifier. Through EACB, the high-dimensional sensor data can be reduced to a small number of weak-classifier decisions, which can then be combined in the CMOS domain to generate a strong-classifier decision.

    摘要: Methods for forming a coating over a surface are disclosed. A method includes directing a first source of barrier film material toward a substrate in a first direction at an angle θ relative to the substrate, wherein θ is greater than about 0° and less than about 85°. Additionally, a method of depositing a barrier film over a substrate includes directing a plurality of N sources of barrier film material toward a substrate, each source being directed at an angle θN relative to the substrate, wherein for each θN, θ is greater than about 0° and less than about 180°. For at least a first of the θN, θN is greater than about 0° and less than about 85°, and for at least a second of the θN, θN is greater than about 95° and less than about 180°.
