| 20120062271 | Methods and System for Electrostatic Discharge Protection of Thin-Film Transistor Backplane Arrays - The present invention provides devices and methods for testing the electrical performance of thin-film transistor backplane arrays and protecting thin-films during testing and handling. | 03-15-2012 |
| 20120025212 | GeSn Infrared Photodetectors - Photodiode devices with GeSn active layers can be integrated directly on p+ Si platforms under CMOS-compatible conditions. It has been found that even minor amounts of Sn incorporation (2%) dramatically expand the range of IR detection up to at least 1750 nm and substantially increases the absorption. The corresponding photoresponse can cover of all telecommunication bands using entirely group IV materials. | 02-02-2012 |
| 20110311789 | Methods for Attaching Flexible Substrates to Rigid Carriers and Resulting Devices - Flexible substrates can be temporarily attached to a rigid carrier for processing a surface thereof by depositing a joining material at one or more contact points between a flexible substrate and a rigid carrier, contacting the flexible substrate and the rigid carrier at the one or more contact points; and exposing the one or more contact points to a temperature of between 219° C. and 1000° C. and under conditions suitable for attaching the flexible substrate and the rigid carrier at the one or more contact points via the joining material. Examples of suitable joining materials include, but are not limited to soldering or brazing materials. Such supported substrates can be used for preparing flexible displays comprising at least one electronic component and/or circuit on a surface of the flexible display. | 12-22-2011 |
| 20110272744 | Laterally Varying II-VI Alloys and Uses Thereof - Described herein are semiconductor structures comprising laterally varying II-VI alloy layer formed over a surface of a substrate. Further, methods are provided for preparing laterally varying II-VI alloy layers over at least a portion of a surface of a substrate comprising contacting at least a portion of a surface of a substrate within a reaction zone with a chemical vapor under suitable reaction conditions to form a laterally varying II-VI alloy layer over the portion of the surface of the substrate, wherein the chemical vapor is generated by heating at least two II-VI binary compounds; and the reaction zone has a temperature gradient of at least 50-100° C. along an extent of the reaction zone. Also described here are devices such as lasers, light emitting diodes, detectors, or solar cells that can use such semiconductor structures. In the case of lasers, spatially varying wavelength can be realized while in the case of solar cells and detectors multiple solar cells can be achieved laterally where each cell absorbs solar energy of a given wavelength range such that entire solar spectrum can be covered by the said solar cell structure. For LED applications, spatial variation of alloy composition can be used to engineer colors of light emission. | 11-10-2011 |
