  • Patent number: 7438482
    Abstract: The present invention provides cells which are capable of transmitting both optical information and electrical signals when connected with each other, and a packaging system in which these cells are connected. A first connector and a second connector are formed on each cell. These two connectors are configured complementary to each other. When two cells are pressed against each other with the first connector of one of the cells facing the second connector of the other, electrical connectors engage with each other, whereby the cells are connected electrically and mechanically. A first optical device and a second optical device are also disposed in complementary positions. When the cells are connected electrically and mechanically, the tip of the first optical device and the tip of the second optical device are brought into contact with each other, allowing an optical signal to be transmitted.

  • Publication number: 20070272919
    Abstract: An organic semiconductor device including: a substrate having a first thermal expansion coefficient; and an organic semiconductor material coupled to the substrate at an interface therebetween. The organic semiconductor material includes a polymer organic semiconductor material and/or an oligomer organic semiconductor material. The organic semiconductor material also has a second thermal expansion coefficient that is different from the first thermal expansion coefficient, such that a mechanical stress is transferred from the substrate to the organic semiconductor material through the interface. This mechanical stress is related to the difference between the first and second thermal expansion coefficients and the change in temperature of the organic semiconductor device.

  • Publication number: 20060214163
    Abstract: A semiconductor device including: a substrate and an organic semiconductor material coupled to the substrate at an interface therebetween. The substrate has a first thermal expansion coefficient and the organic semiconductor material has a second thermal expansion coefficient that is different from the first thermal expansion coefficient. The difference between the first thermal expansion coefficient and the second thermal expansion coefficient causes a tensile stress in a plane parallel to the interface to be transferred from the substrate to the organic semiconductor material through the interface. This tensile stress in the plane parallel to the interface causes compression of the organic semiconductor material in a direction normal to the interface.

  • Publication number: 20060000816
    Abstract: A laser processing system for precision manufacturing is operated by adjusting a scan lens within the system to create a wide variety of features on a workpiece. The zoom scan lens is adjusted continuously within the system to alter radius of an annulus of the processing beam(s), resulting in change of feature size on the final workpiece. The zooming of the scan lens may be performed in combination with adjustments to the laser power and dwell time in order to maintain optimum power-per-unit area for high-quality laser processing. The invention is well-suited for drilling tapered, conical holes, such as those found in inkjet nozzles, but may be applicable for processing tapered or non-tapered features of almost any geometrical shape.
