Abstract: An apparatus for electroplating a metal on a semiconductor substrate with high control over plated thickness on a die-level includes an ionically resistive ionically permeable element (e.g., a plate with channels), where the element allows for flow of ionic current through the element towards the substrate during electroplating, where the element includes a plurality of regions, each region having a pattern of varied local resistance, and where the pattern of varied local resistance repeats in at least two regions. An electroplating method includes providing a semiconductor substrate to an electroplating apparatus having an ionically resistive ionically permeable element or a grid-like shield having a pattern correlating with a pattern of features on the substrate, and plating metal, while the pattern on the substrate remains spatially aligned with the pattern of the element or the grid-like shield for at least a portion of the total electroplating time.

Abstract: An ionically resistive ionically permeable element for use in an electroplating apparatus includes ribs to tailor hydrodynamic environment proximate a substrate during electroplating. In one implementation, the ionically resistive ionically permeable element includes a channeled portion that is at least coextensive with a plating face of the substrate, and a plurality of ribs extending from the substrate-facing surface of the channeled portion towards the substrate. Ribs include a first plurality of ribs of full maximum height and a second plurality of ribs of smaller maximum height than the full maximum height. In one implementation the ribs of smaller maximum height are disposed such that the maximum height of the ribs gradually increases in a direction from one edge of the element to the center of the element.

Abstract: A mount for a light assembly in a luminaire has a base section and mounting arms upstanding from the base section. Each mounting arm has an upward length and a width and has a lower portion and an upper portion. Mounting pads for light sources are unitary with or attached to the mounting arm upper portions and have an upward length and a width. The width of the mounting pads extends in a direction oblique to the width of the mounting arm lower portions. Preferably, the length of the mounting pads extends in a direction oblique to the length of the mounting arm lower portions. Light sources mounted on the mounting pads may emit beams of light directed obliquely away from each other and obliquely towards the base.

Abstract: A pendant mounted lighting fixture has a decorative housing that includes a cast metal body and two light engines. The body is a single-piece casting that may have a separate door. Each light engine contains LEDs on a circuit board in contact with the inner surface of the body. The body provides heat sink mass with heat dissipation through its outside surface. The light engines are may be mounted at acute angles such that the light from the two light engines is emitted in lobes that expand outside to create an asymmetric overall light profile. Each light engine may have an array of LEDs flat on the circuit board without raised reflectors. Each LED may be covered by a transparent dome lens. Refraction at the surface of the dome lenses directs the light from the LEDs into a desired distribution.
