    摘要: In a shadow mask-substrate alignment method, a substrate and a shadow mask each include a grate having a plurality of bars in spaced relation, wherein for each grate, each pair of spaced bars of each grate is separated by a gap. The spacing between at least three adjacent gaps is different or not of constant pitch, and at least one grate includes a gap that extends therethrough. The grate of the substrate and the grate of the shadow mask are positioned in a light path. Thereafter, the orientation of the substrate, the shadow mask, or both are caused to be adjusted to position the grate of the substrate, the grate of the shadow mask, or both until a predetermined amount of light or range of an amount of light on the light path passing through one or both of the grates is received by a light receiver.

    摘要: In a method and apparatus for shadow mask tensioning, a shadow mask frame and an anchor frame are positioned in spaced relation defining a gap therebetween and a shadow mask is positioned on the shadow mask frame and the anchor frame with an interior portion of the shadow mask extending across the gap. An edge of the shadow mask is affixed to the anchor frame and the shadow mask is tensioned by urging the interior portion of the shadow mask into the gap. Once the shadow mask has been tensioned to a desired extent, the shadow mask is affixed to the shadow mask frame. Thereafter, the combination of the shadow mask affixed to the shadow mask frame is separated from the anchor frame.

    摘要: A method of forming a shadow mask vapor deposited transistor includes shadow mask vapor depositing a semiconductor segment. An electrically conductive drain contact is shadow mask vapor deposited on a first part of the semiconductor segment and a first insulator is shadow mask vapor deposited on the drain contact. An electrically conductive source contact is shadow mask vapor deposited on a second part of the semiconductor segment spaced from the drain contact and a second insulator is shadow mask vapor deposited on the source contact. A third insulator is shadow mask vapor deposited over at least part of each of the first and second insulators and the semiconductor segment between the drain contact and the source contact. An electrically conductive gate contact is shadow mask vapor deposited on the third insulator and in spaced relation to the semiconductor segment between the drain contact and the source contact.

    摘要: Electronic devices are formed on a substrate that is advanced stepwise through a plurality of deposition vessels. Each deposition vessel includes a source of deposition material and has at least two shadow masks associated therewith. Each of the two masks is alternately positioned within the corresponding deposition vessel for patterning the deposition material onto the substrate through apertures in the mask positioned therein, and positioned in an adjacent cleaning vessel for mask cleaning. The patterning onto the substrate and the cleaning of at least one of the masks are performed concurrently.

    摘要: In a method of preparing and using an aperture mask, a temperature of an aperture mask is increased to a first, mounting temperature (T1), whereupon the size of the aperture mask increases according to its coefficient of thermal expansion (CTEam), until at least one dimension thereof is of a first desired extent. The temperature of a frame is also increased to T1, whereupon the size of the frame grows according to its coefficient of thermal expansion (CTEf), which is lower than CTEam. The aperture mask is fixedly mounted to the frame at T1. The frame mounted aperture mask is then used for depositing a material on a substrate at a deposition temperature T2 that is less than T1, whereupon the frame holds the shadow mask in tension with the one dimension at a second desired extent.

    摘要: In a method of forming an electrical circuit assembly, a substrate is provided including a plurality of first segments that form an electrical circuit. The first segments have surfaces that rise above surfaces of other segments that form the electrical circuit. All of the segments are deposited on the substrate via one or more shadow mask vapor deposition processes in a vacuum. A photoresist caused to cover all of the segments is hardened and then abraded until surfaces of the first segments are exposed, but surfaces of the other segments are not exposed, and a surface of the abraded photoresist is at the same level as the exposed surfaces of the first segments. Second segments can be deposited on the exposed surfaces of the first segments via a shadow mask vapor deposition process in a vacuum to a level above the top surface of the abraded photoresist.

    摘要: A system and method for improving light extraction from luminescent devices such as light-emitting flat-panel displays (for example, light-emitting diode (OLED) flat-panel displays) or flat panel lamps. The system includes a material with negative index of refraction, preferably with n=−1. The presence of such material on the exit surface of the electro-optic devices such as flat panel display or lamp with light-generating medium sandwiched between materials with refractive index n>1 fully removes TIR and results in light outcoupling efficiency of about 100%.

    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.
