  • Patent number: 12014952
    Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a method that includes depositing multiple hard mask layers over an interconnect dielectric layer. A first patterning layer is deposited over the multiple hard mask layers, and a first masking structure is formed over the first masking structure. The first masking structure has openings formed by a first extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography process. Portions of the first patterning layer are removed according to the first masking structure. A second masking structure is formed within the patterned first patterning layer. A third masking structure is formed over a topmost one of the hard mask layers and has openings formed by a second EUV lithography process. Removal processes are performed to pattern the multiple hard mask layers to form openings in the interconnect dielectric layer, and interconnect wires having rounded corners are formed within the openings of the interconnect dielectric layer.

  • Patent number: 11956994
    Abstract: The present disclosure is generally related to 3D imaging capable OLED displays. A light field display comprises an array of 3D light field pixels, each of which comprises an array of corrugated OLED pixels, a metasurface layer disposed adjacent to the array of 3D light field pixels, and a plurality of median layers disposed between the metasurface layer and the corrugated OLED pixels. Each of the corrugated OLED pixels comprises primary or non-primary color subpixels, and produces a different view of an image through the median layers to the metasurface to form a 3D image. The corrugated OLED pixels combined with a cavity effect reduce a divergence of emitted light to enable effective beam direction manipulation by the metasurface. The metasurface having a higher refractive index and a smaller filling factor enables the deflection and direction of the emitted light from the corrugated OLED pixels to be well controlled.

  • Patent number: 11904519
    Abstract: Present invention is related to an extrusion equipment for processing a fibre composite. The extrusion equipment comprises a decompression and a melt tank arranged and operated vertically along with the direction of gravity. The melt tank comprises a melt tank impregnation section and a melt tank control section with a melt tank cavity as a channel condition defined within. The channel has its inner diameter or passage gradually decreased from top to bottom. The extrusion equipment provided by the present invention is configured in the direction of gravity for processing the melted thermoplastic resin and the fibre vertically for avoiding fibre fracture or breakage and improving the quality of the final products. As the melted plastic is processed vertically along with the gravity, the melted plastic could transfer or pass through the channel quickly without resulting decomposition due to the high heat and the long retention time in the cavity.
