Abstract:
A printing device includes a developer (101, 201) for developing a latent image with toner particles (102); an imaging plate (100, 200, 300, 400, 500) comprising a plurality of pixel plates (105); and a plurality of voltage generators (109, 209, 211) connected respectively to the pixel plates (105). The voltage generators (109, 209, 211) positively bias selected pixel plates (105) to form a latent image that is developed with toner (102) from the developer (101, 201). Another printing device includes a developer (101, 201) for developing a latent image with toner particles (102); an imaging plate (100, 200, 300, 400, 500) comprising a plurality of pixel plates (105) for selectively receiving toner particles (102) from the developer (101, 201); a plurality of voltage generators (109, 209, 211) for biasing respective to pixel plates (105); and a background grid (106, 206, 306, 406) in the imaging plate (100, 200, 300, 400, 500) for preventing toner particles (102) from being deposited in areas between the pixel plates (105), wherein the background grid (106, 206, 306, 406) is connected to a voltage generator (109, 209, 211) for applying a range of biases, positive and negative to the background grid (106, 206, 306, 406). A method of electrophotographic printing in which toner particles (102) are moved electrostatically from a developer (101, 201) to develop a latent image includes positively biasing selected pixel plates (105) of a plurality of pixel plates (105) of an imaging plate (100, 200, 300, 400, 500) to form the latent image; and developing the latent image with the toner particles (102) from the developer (101, 201).

Abstract:
A nanoscopic transistor (20) is made by forming an oxide layer on a semiconductor substrate (S10, S20), applying resist (S30), patterning the resist using imprint lithography to form a pattern aligned along a first direction (S40), applying a first ion-masking material over the pattern (S50), selectively lifting it off to leave a first ion mask to form a gate (S60), forming doped regions by implanting a suitable dopant (S70), applying another layer of resist (S90) and patterning the second resist layer using imprint lithography to form a second pattern aligned along a second direction (S100), applying a second ion-masking material over the second pattern, selectively lifting it off to leave a second ion mask defined by the second pattern (S120), and forming second doped regions in the substrate by implanting a suitable second dopant selectively in accordance with the second ion mask (S130). The method may be used to make an array (10 or 15) of nanoscopic transistors (20).

This disclosure relates to a process (700) including depositing (704) an imprintable layer (502) on a substrate (306). The imprintable layer (502) is imprinted into the pattern of an imprint-fabricated ribbon (101). The pattern from the imprintable layer (502) is transferred to the substrate (306) to be used to fabricate the imprint-fabricated ribbon (101).
Abstract:
Methods of forming thin film transistors and related systems are described. In one embodiment, a method forms source/drain material (16, 18) over a substrate (10) using a low temperature formation process. A channel layer (24) is formed over the substrate using a low temperature formation process. A gate insulating layer (28) is formed over the substrate using a low temperature formation process. A gate (30) is formed over the substrate using a low temperature formation process. The low temperature formation processes that are utilized are conducted at temperatures that are no greater than about 200-degrees C.
