Abstract: In some embodiments, a light emitting structure comprises a layered semiconductor stack comprising a first set of doped layers, a second layer, a light emitting layer positioned between the first set of doped layers and the second layer, and an electrical contact to the first set of doped layers. The first set of doped layers can comprise a first sub-layer, a second sub-layer, and a third sub-layer, where the third sub-layer is adjacent to the light emitting layer. The electrical contact to the first set of doped layers can be made to the second sub-layer. The first, second and third sub-layers can be doped n-type, and an electrical conductivity of the second sub-layer can be higher than an electrical conductivity of the first and third sub-layers. In some cases, the second sub-layer can absorb more light emitted from the light emitting layer than the first or third sub-layers.

Abstract: A building-construction panel includes a tongue on one edge and a groove on an opposite edge that receives the tongue of an adjacent panel. A shoulder on the tongue-side edge defines an abutted surface that is contacted by an abutting surface on the groove-side edge to limit panel travel during installation and maintain a gap between upper edge portions of the adjacent panels. A bottom transition is formed on the groove-side edge so that the groove-side abutting surface is smaller than the tongue-side shoulder abutted surface. In this way, the relatively smaller groove-side abutting surface structurally maintains the gap but also minimizes frictional interpanel contact area to minimize squeaking. And the relatively larger tongue-side shoulder abutted surface helps keep the shoulder from being collapsed into the groove from overdriving the panels together during installation. In typical embodiments, the panel is a high-performance structural wood subflooring panel.

Abstract: Dry development of resists can be useful, for example, to form a patterning mask in the context of high-resolution patterning. Dry development may be advantageously accomplished by a method of processing a semiconductor substrate including providing in a process chamber a photopatterned resist on a substrate layer on a semiconductor substrate, and dry developing the photopatterned resist by removing either an exposed portion or an unexposed portion of the resist by a dry development process comprising exposure to a chemical compound to form a resist mask. The resist may be an EUV-sensitive organo-metal oxide or organo-metal-containing thin film EUV resist.
