  • Publication number: 20240145632
    Abstract: A micro light emitting device includes an epitaxial structure, a conductive layer, and a first insulating layer. The epitaxial structure has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, and includes a first semiconductor layer, an active layer and a second semiconductor layer that are arranged in such order in a direction from the first surface to the second surface. The conductive layer is formed on a surface of the first semiconductor layer away from the active layer. The first insulating layer is formed on the surface of the first semiconductor layer away from the active layer, and exposes at least a part of the conductive layer.

  • Patent number: 11964881
    Abstract: A method for making iridium oxide nanoparticles includes dissolving an iridium salt to obtain a salt-containing solution, mixing a complexing agent with the salt-containing solution to obtain a blend solution, and adding an oxidating agent to the blend solution to obtain a product mixture. A molar ratio of a complexing compound of the complexing agent to the iridium salt is controlled in a predetermined range so as to permit the product mixture to include iridium oxide nanoparticles.

  • Publication number: 20240021453
    Abstract: A method includes transferring a tool monitoring device over a load port of a tool. A bottom of the tool monitoring device has a plurality of holes, and the load port comprises a plurality of pins at a top surface of the load port. The tool monitoring device is placed on the top surface of the load port. The pins at the top surface of the load port are plugged into the holes of the tool monitoring device. Heights of the pins are sensed to identifying a type of the load port after the tool monitoring device is placed on the top surface of the load port. An environment around the load port is monitored by using the tool monitoring device.
