  • Patent number: 8294172
    Abstract: A method of fabricating semiconductor devices, such as GaN LEDs, on insulating substrates, such as sapphire. Semiconductor layers are produced on the insulating substrate using normal techniques. Trenches that define the boundaries of the individual devices are formed through the semiconductor layers and into the insulating substrate, beneficially by inductive coupled plasma reactive ion etching. A first support structure is attached to the semiconductor layers. The hard substrate is then removed, beneficially by laser lift off. A second supporting structure, preferably conductive, is substituted for the hard substrate and the first supporting structure is removed. Individual devices are then diced, beneficially by etching through the second supporting structure. A protective photo-resist layer can protect the semiconductor layers from the attachment of the first support structure.

    Abstract: Provided is a method of fabricating an IPS mode LCD having improved image quality. After performing a rubbing process on an entire surface of an alignment layer in the IPS mode LCD, polarization and non-polarization irradiations are partially performed on a stepped portion around an electrode using masks. Accordingly, light leakage can be prevented and the contrast ratio can be improved. Also, the high quality of image can be obtained, thereby enhancing the reliability of products. Also, when non-polarized light is irradiated on a rubbed alignment layer, a high quality image can be obtained without any separate polarization apparatus.
