Remind Again; Quality of Thin Film Fabrication Process

A New Fabrication Process for Thin-film Multijunction Thermal Converters

-Advanced thin film processing and packaging technologies are employed in the fabrication of new planar thinfilm multifunction thermal converters. The processing, packaging, and design features build on experience gained from prior NIST demonstrations of thin-film converters and are optimized for improved sensitivity, bandwidth, manufacturability, and reliability.

Process Optimization of Deposition Conditions for Low Temperature Thin Film Insulators used in Thin Film Transistors Displays

Deposition process for thin insulator used in polysilicon gate dielectric of thin film transistors are optimized. Silane and N2O plasma are used to form SiO2 layers at temperatures below 150 ºC. The deposition conditions as well as system operating parameters such as pressure, temperature, gas flow ratios, total flow rate and plasma power are also studied and their effects are discussed.  The p...

Process compilation of thin film microdevices

This paper describes a systematic method for the automatic generation of fabrication processes of thin lm devices. The method uses a partially ordered set (poset) representation of device topology describing the order between its various components in the form of a directed acyclic graph. The sequence in which these components are fabricated is determined from the poset linear extensions, and t...

Fabrication of micro-polarizer array with polymer thin film

In this project, significant advancements have been made in creating an array of micro-polarizers using a polymer thin film in order to extract various polarization parameters about the imaged environment. The array of micro-polarizers is to be integrated with custom-made VLSI image sensor in order to create a complete low power real-time bio-inspired polarization sensitive imaging sensor. Two ...
