Publication number: 20230240017Abstract: A method and device are described to transfer a viscous functional material onto a receiving substrate. A plate is provided having a cavity surface that includes a cavity. A plurality of individually addressable resistive heater elements are provided that are in thermal contact with respective zones of the cavity. Viscous functional material is provided in the cavity with a material composition that, when sufficiently heated, generates a gas at an interface between the cavity surface in the cavity and the functional material, to transfer the functional material from the cavity by the gas generation onto the receiving substrate. Respective portions of the viscous functional material in respective zones of the cavity are heated by supplying respective ones of the plurality of individually addressable heater elements with an electric power having a respective time dependent magnitude.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2021Publication date: July 27, 2023Inventors: Rob Jacob HENDRIKS, Fabien Bernard Jacques BRUNING

Publication number: 20220082449Abstract: Technology is disclosed herein that the enhances the measurability of on-chip temperature in a cryogenic quantum computing environment. In an implementation, transceiver circuitry sends a probe signal through a target device. A lumped-element resonator device that is proximate to the surface of the target device interacts with the probe signal and modulates the probe signal. Processing circuitry reads the probe signal through the target device, and responsively measures the resonance frequency of the lumped-element resonator device. The processing circuitry correlates the measured resonance frequency with a temperature and responsively determines the temperature of the target device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2021Publication date: March 17, 2022Inventors: Jiansong Gao, Maxime Bernard Jacques Malnou, Michael Robert Vissers, Jordan Wheeler
