  • Patent number: 11881542
    Abstract: A first conversion layer material is formed on unmasked pixel areas of a substrate. Mask material is selectively removed from a second set of pixel areas, leaving a third set of pixel areas masked. A coating is formed on sidewalls of the second pixel areas, and then a second conversion layer material is formed on the second pixel areas and against their sidewalls. Mask material is removed from the third pixel areas, a coating is formed on sidewalls of the third pixel areas, and a third conversion layer material is formed on the third pixel areas and against their sidewalls. The resulting wavelength-conversion layer includes contiguously arranged regions of the first, second, and third conversion layer materials, at least two of which are wavelength-converting phosphor materials. The sidewall coatings between the regions act as barriers to lateral light transmission.

  • Patent number: 11855005
    Abstract: Disclosed is a radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) chip that includes an integrated circuit (IC) area and a crackstop laterally surrounding the IC area. The crackstop includes a metallic barrier (or, alternatively, concentric metallic barriers) electrically isolated from the IC area. One or more noise suppressors and, particularly, one or more passive filters (e.g., low pass filter(s), high pass filter(s), band pass filter(s), and/or band stop filter(s)) are integrated into the structure of the metallic barrier(s) to inhibit propagation, through the crackstop, of noise signals within a specific RF range. The specific RF range can be a customer-specified operating parameter. By embedding customized noise suppressor(s) into the crackstop, local signal interference unique to the customer-specified operating parameters can be minimized while also avoiding or at least minimizing the risk of moisture ingress to the IC area. Also disclosed is a method of forming the chip.
