Patent number: 11799055Abstract: A method of producing microelectronic components includes forming a functional layer system; applying a laminar carrier to the functional layer system; attaching a workpiece to a workpiece carrier; utilizing incident radiation of a laser beam is focused in a boundary region between a growth substrate and the functional layer system, and a bond between the growth substrate and the functional layer system in the boundary region is weakened or destroyed; separating a functional layer stack from the growth substrate, wherein a vacuum gripper having a sealing zone that circumferentially encloses an inner region is applied to the reverse side of the growth substrate, a negative pressure is generated in the inner region such that separation of the functional layer stack from the growth substrate is initiated in the inner region; and the growth substrate held on the vacuum gripper is removed from the functional layer stack.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2022Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: 3D-Micromac AGInventors: Sven Albert, René Boettcher, Alexander Boehm, Mike Lindner, Thomas Schmidt

Patent number: 10373705Abstract: A sequencer device generates basic nucleotide sequence data 30 comprising probe data 34 of a capture probe in the sequencer device 10 and a determined sequence of identifiers 32 of a fragment of nucleic acids captured by the probe. The sequencer device outputs enriched nucleotide sequence data 36 that is enriched with data comprising a reference to a sequence 38 that is expected for the fragment of nucleic acids.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2012Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Pieter Jan Van Der Zaag, Ronny Amberg, Peter Beyerlein, Wilhelmus Franciscus Johannes Verhaegh, Rene Boettcher

Patent number: 9993895Abstract: In the method for structuring at least one area of a solid body surface provided with a ta-C coating, by means of a first laser, preferably an excimer laser having pulse durations in the nanosecond range, a first structure is produced upon which a second, ripple-like structure is superposed by means of a second laser, preferably having pulse durations in the femtosecond range. Preferentially, the excimer laser structuring is carried out according to the mask projection technique and the femtosecond laser structuring according to the focus technique. This method allows the rational manufacture of very complex, extremely fraud-resistant authentication features and/or of esthetically attractive, optical diffraction effective colored patterns.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2010Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: Boegli-Gravures SAInventors: Charles Boegli, Steffen Weissmantel, Günter Reisse, Andy Engel, Rene Boettcher, Werner Steffen

Patent number: 9939725Abstract: In the method for producing masks and/or diaphragms for a laser installation for the creation of microstructures on a solid body surface according to the mask projection technique, predetermined opaque surface portions which scatter the laser radiation are produced in the mask and/or diaphragm substrate by roughening and modifying the latter by means of a femtosecond, picosecond or fluor laser beam. Such masks and diaphragms have a strongly improved lifetime and accuracy and may e.g. serve for the creation of blazed gratings which, arranged in diffraction grating arrays on a solid body surface, serve for producing spectral colors and mixed colors of high brilliance.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2010Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: Boegli-Gravures S.A.Inventors: Charles Boegli, Steffen Weissmantel, Günter Reisse, Andy Engel, Rene Boettcher, Werner Steffen

Patent number: 9156107Abstract: In the method for structuring at least one area of a solid body surface provided with a ta-C coating, a mask in the homogenous spot of the optical system is used in order to shape the beam in the mask projection technique and then a diaphragm in front of the imaging optics. A structure is applied by means of an excimer laser having pulse durations in the nanosecond range, a number of mask and diaphragm combinations being arranged in a exchanger device and the exchanger device being adapted to place both one of the masks and one of the diaphragms in the beam path of the laser independently of each other, the masks and diaphragms being arranged in holders while being displaceable linearly or rotatively and rotatable about themselves. This method allows the rational manufacture of very complex, extremely fraud-resistant authentication features and/or of esthetically attractive, optical diffraction effective colored patterns.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2010Date of Patent: October 13, 2015Assignee: Boegli-Gravures S.A.Inventors: Charles Boegli, Steffen Weissmantel, Günter Reisse, Andy Engel, Rene Boettcher, Werner Steffen
