Abstract: A cross flow chemical vapor deposition chamber can comprise an inlet duct having a generally rectangular cross-section and an outlet duct having a generally rectangular cross-section. The rectangular inlet duct and the rectangular outlet duct can facilitate laminar flow of reactant gases over a susceptor. Movable partitions can be configured to define a plurality of zones within the chamber. Each zone can contain a different reactant gas, concentration of reactant gas, and/or flow rate of reactant gas. Enhanced laminar flow can be provided, undesirable depletion of reactant gas can be mitigated, and enhanced control of reactant gases can be facilitated.

Abstract: A light-emitting device having multiple light-emitting diode (“LED”) dice organized in an array capable of configuring LED dice in series, parallel, and/or a combination of series and parallel via metal traces is disclosed. In one aspect, the light-emitting device includes a substrate, a dielectric layer, an LED array, and a metal trace. The dielectric layer, which is disposed over the substrate, provides electric insulation. The LED array capable of generating light is able to enhance flexibility of LED connections using a metal trace. The metal trace has a predefined shape configured to travel through the LED array for facilitating electric connections.

Abstract: A substrate for an LED assembly can have a plurality of cups formed therein. At least one cup can be formed within another cup. The cups can be co-axial with respect to one another, for example. A machined surface of the substrate can enhance reflectivity of the LED assembly. A transparent and/or non-global solder mask can enhance reflectivity of the LED assembly. A transparent ring can enhance reflectivity of the LED assembly. By enhancing reflectivity of the LED assembly, the brightness of the LED assembly can be increased. Brighter LED assemblies can be used in applications such as flashlights, displays, and general illumination.

Abstract: A light source and method for making the same are disclosed. The light source includes a housing, a drive assembly, and an LED. The housing has an interior compartment enclosed in an outer surface having a heat dissipating surface and first and second power terminals that are accessible from outside the interior compartment. The drive assembly is located in the interior compartment and electrically connected to the first and second power terminal. The LED is directly attached to the heat dissipating surface and electrically insulated therefrom, the LED having first and second LED power contacts. The housing has first and second housing power terminals disposed outside the housing, electrically isolated from the heat-dissipating surface, and connected to the drive assembly. A first conductor connects the first LED power contact to the first housing power terminal. A second conductor connects the LED second power contact to the second housing power terminal.

Abstract: A Process Module (“PM”) is designed to facilitate Transport Polymerization (“TP”) of precursors that are useful for preparations of low Dielectric Constant (“?”) films. The PM consists primarily of a Material Delivery System (“MDS”) with a high temperature Vapor Phase Controller (“VFC”), a TP Reactor, a Treatment Chamber, a Deposition Chamber and a Pumping System. The PM is designed to facilitate TP for new precursors and for film deposition and stabilization processes.

Abstract: A multi-stage transport polymerization (“TP”) reactor useful for making a thin film for the fabrication of integrated circuits. One TP reactor has two distinct heating zones that facilitate the cracking of specific precursor materials. The multi-stage reactor comprises a first low temperature heating zone that heats incoming precursor materials to a temperature that is lower than the “cracking” temperature of the precursor. The second heating zone is maintained at a temperature useful for breaking the chemical bonds of a desired leaving groups in the selected precursor. Specialized heating bodies, which transfer heat to the precursor material in the low and high temperature zones, are used as elements of the invention that can simultaneously decrease the total volume and increase the inside surface area of the TP reactor. Chemistries of precursors used in the multi-stage reactor are also provided.
