In one embodiment, a delay circuit is configured to delay pixel information from an image source, such as a frame buffer. The delay circuit may be configured to delay the pixel information by an amount of time that would move a pixel projected on a surface by a distance less than a dimension of the pixel. A light modulator may modulate a light beam onto a surface, such as a display screen, based on the delayed pixel information. This advantageously allows for sub-pixel electronic alignment.

A microdevice assembly (20) that includes a device microstructure (22), a housing (30), and a fine grain getter layer (40). The housing (30) has a base portion (32) and a lid (34). The device microstructure (22) is attached to the base portion (32) and the lid (34) is hermetically sealed to the base portion (32). The housing (30) defines a cavity (38) surrounding the device microstructure (22). The fine grain getter layer (40) is on an interior side (42) of the lid (34) for maintaining a vacuum in the cavity (38) surrounding the device microstructure (22). The lid (34) may be made of metal or have at least a metallic surface in the region where the fine grain getter layer (40) is applied. The fine grain getter layer (40) has a sub-micron grain size. There is also a method for making the microdevice assembly (20).

摘要:
A process produces microelectromechanical components from a substrate that has a first side and a second side which is substantially opposite from the first side, and at least the first side has at least one microelectromechanical element. The process includes the step of providing at least one conductive passage into the substrate, connecting the first side to the second side, and securing at least one support to the first side of the substrate, with the at least one electrically conductive passage uncovered by thinning the substrate material with the mechanical stability being ensured by the support.
摘要:
A photoresist layer on a semiconductor wafer is patterned using a mask with an absorbing layer that has been repaired by using an additional light-absorbing carbon layer that collects ions that are used in the repair process. After the repair has been completed, the ions that are present in the carbon layer are removed by removing the portion of the carbon layer that is not covered by the absorbing layer. Thus, the absorbing layer, which contains the pattern that is to be exposed on the photoresist layer, also acts as a mask in the removal of the portion of the carbon layer that contains the ions. Thereby the ions that are opaque at the particular wavelength being used are removed from the areas where light is intended to pass through the mask to the photoresist. The buffer layer is made absorbing to avoid problems with reflections at interfaces thereof.
摘要:
A variety of elastomeric-based microfluidic devices and methods for using and manufacturing such devices are provided. Certain of the devices have arrays of reaction sites to facilitate high throughput analyses. Some devices also include reaction sites located at the end of blind channels at which reagents have been previously deposited during manufacture. The reagents become suspended once sample is introduced into the reaction site. The devices can be utilized with a variety of heating devices and thus can be used in a variety of analyses requiring temperature control, including thermocycling applications such as nucleic acid amplification reactions, genotyping and gene expression analyses.
