Patent number: 8039838Abstract: Systems and methods of fabricating silicon-based thin film transistors (TFTs) on flexible substrates. The systems and methods incorporate and combine deposition processes such as chemical vapor deposition and plasma-enhance vapor deposition, printing, coating, and other deposition processes, with laser annealing, etching techniques, and laser doping, all performed at low temperatures such that the precision, resolution, and registration is achieved to produce a high performing transistor. Such TFTs can be used in applications such as displays, packaging, labeling, and the like.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2009Date of Patent: October 18, 2011Assignee: Soligie, Inc.Inventors: John M.

Patent number: 7913382Abstract: Printing plates, printing system and method for printing electrical circuits. According to embodiments of the invention, patterned layers of conductive, insulating, semi-conductive materials, and other materials can be additively print deposited on a substrate to form electrical circuits. The electrical circuits so formed of single or multiple printed layers can comprise or compose transistor devices, including thin film transistors, multiple transistor circuits or assemblies, or other electrical devices, for example batteries, sensors, displays, memory arrays, and the like. The invention further provides a patterned printing plate imaged by a photolithography and etch process, and a printing system and methods using the patterned plate by which such high resolution, precise registration electrical circuits and circuit devices can be produced.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2007Date of Patent: March 29, 2011Assignee: Soligie, Inc.Inventor: John M.

Patent number: 6299724Abstract: Apparatus and method for direct delivery of enabling chemical gas from a liquid source and of HF gas in a hydrogen fluoride/enabling chemical based cleaning or etching process, such as a silicon dioxide film etching process. The liquid enabling chemical is temperature controlled to generate a vapor pressure which is sufficient to operate a mass flow controller at a desired processing pressure without a carrier gas. Prior to entering the process chamber, the enabling chemical gas is pre-mixed with HF and optionally, a carrier gas, all of which are supplied at flow rates independent of each other. By controlling the vapor pressure of the solvent in this way, solvent/HF/carrier mixtures which are not physically possible with carrier gas systems are attainable allowing access to a larger process space.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2000Date of Patent: October 9, 2001Assignee: FSI International, Inc.Inventors: Robert T. Fayfield, John M. Heitzinger

Patent number: 5961732Abstract: A substrate may be treated by impinging the substrate with a cryogenic aerosol spray wherein the cryogenic aerosol spray is formed by expanding a pressurized liquid or liquid/gaseous stream of one or more cryogens through a nozzle at a given distance from the substrate into a process chamber with a pressure of about 1.6.times.10.sup.4 Pascal or less so as to form at least substantially solid aerosol particles of said one or more cryogens downstream from the nozzle by the cooling resulting from the expansion and/or evaporation to form an at least substantially solid particle containing aerosol.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 1997Date of Patent: October 5, 1999Assignee: FSI International, IncInventors: John C. Patrin, John M. Heitzinger
