  • Patent number: 12708899
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for characterizing material samples. In one aspect, a device for characterizing a sample includes a substrate configured for receiving a sample thereon; an optical fiber probe comprising a first end positioned near the sample and a second end that is bifurcated to include one or more first fiber configured for connection to a first light emitting device and one or more second fiber configured for connection to a spectrometer; a reflectance module coupled to the substrate; and a second light emitting device positioned near the sample. The optical fiber probe is configured for selectively obtaining at the spectrometer both a reflectance absorbance measurement of the sample associated with the first light emitting device and a photoluminescence measurement of the sample associated with the second light emitting device.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20240226950
    Abstract: Spin coating systems and methods. In one aspect, a spin coater assembly is provided. The spin coater assembly includes a spinner configured for receiving a substrate thereon, a plurality of material dispensers, an arm assembly configured to selectively position one of the plurality of material dispensers over the substrate, and a controller in communication with each of the spinner, the plurality of material dispensers, and the arm assembly.
