20120002203 | Sensitivity enhancement in grating coupled surface plasmon resonance by azimuthal control - A method and a system for the enhancement of the sensitivity in surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors based metallic grating by exploiting the conical configuration is presented. We consider the propagation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) excited by light from the visible to infrared spectrum range, incident on a plasmonic grating at different directions by varying both the zenith and azimuthal angles. For specific azimuthal angles, SPPs propagate in the grating plane perpendicular to the incident light momentum. This is the condition that allows increasing the number of different excited SPPs modes largely. We exploit this effect to increase the sensor sensitivity with the change of refractive index of thin film on the plasmonic grating surface. Polarization effects also contribute to a further modes enhancement and increase the sensitivity. A scheme for a lab-on-chip implementation of a system that allows a parallel detection in microfluidic channels has been shown. | 01-05-2012 |

20100081237 | Integrated Circuit Assemblies and Methods for Encapsulating a Semiconductor Device - A seal is formed by compressing a cured layer of a composition applied on a substrate. The composition is any liquid, liquefiable, or mastic, which, after application to a surface, is converted or cured to a compressible solid film. The composition includes a flexible polymer as a binding material. The layer on the substrate eliminates the need for a gasket on a contact surface of a mold. The contact surface of the mold compresses the layer during an encapsulation process. The layer remains on the substrate in a finished product. A minimum separation or wall thickness of the mold is defined by the material properties of the mold. The seal eliminates yield loss due to leakage of an encapsulant and reduces maintenance costs associated with the procurement and repeated installation of gaskets on mold tooling. | 04-01-2010 |
