  • Patent number: 11746288
    Abstract: Briefly, in one aspect, the present invention relates to processes for producing a stabilized Mn4+ doped phosphor in solid form and a composition containing such doped phosphor. Such process may include combining a) a solution comprising at least one substance selected from the group consisting of: K2HPO4, an aluminum phosphate, oxalic acid, phosphoric acid, a surfactant, a chelating agent, or a combination thereof, with b) a Mn4+ doped phosphor of formula I in solid form, where formula I may be: Ax [MFy]:Mn4+. The process can further include isolating the stabilized Mn4+ doped phosphor in solid form. In formula I, A may be Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, or a combination thereof. In formula I, M may be Si, Ge, Sn, Ti, Zr, Al, Ga, In, Sc, Y, La, Nb, Ta, Bi, Gd, or a combination thereof. In formula I, x is the absolute value of the charge of the [MFy] ion and y is 5, 6 or 7.

  • Publication number: 20230058578
    Abstract: The present techniques relate to various aspects of forming and filling high-aspect ratio trench structures (e.g., trench structures having an aspect ratio of 20 or greater, including aspect ratios in the range of 20:1 up to and including 50:1 or greater) combined with trench opening widths ranging from 0.5 micron to 50 microns. In one implementation a method to fabricate high-aspect ratio trenches in silicon is provided using a patterned photoresist on evaporated aluminum. In accordance with this approach, a high-aspect ratio trench can be formed having vertical side walls and defect-free trench bottoms. In some instances it may be desirable to fill such high-aspect ratio trench structures with a metal or other substrate to provide certain functionality associated with the fill material. Further processes and structures are related in which such trench structures are filled using a mixture of high-Z nano-particles within an epoxy resin matrix.
