  • Microelectronic device patterned by ablating and subsequently sintering said microelectronic device
    Patent number: 7923837
    Abstract: A microelectronic device includes a non-polymeric substrate, an organic interlayer, and a indium tin oxide layer formed on the organic interlayer; the indium tin oxide layer including an ablated feature within said indium tin oxide layer, wherein said indium tin oxide layer is formed by an indium tin oxide solution that is laser ablated prior to sintering. Applicant respectfully submits that the above amendments bring the Abstract into compliance with MPEP ยง608.01 (b). Accordingly, Applicant respectfully requests reconsideration and withdrawal of the objection to the abstract.

  • Method of making a patterned metal oxide film
    Patent number: 7381633
    Abstract: A method of making a patterned metal oxide film includes jetting a sol-gel solution on a substrate. The sol-gel solution is dried to form a gel layer on the substrate. Portions of the gel layer are irradiated to pattern the gel layer and to form exposed portions. Irradiation causes the exposed portions of the gel layer to become at least one of substantially condensed to an oxide, substantially densified, substantially cured, and combinations thereof. The unexposed portions of the gel layer are removed, thereby forming the patterned metal oxide film.
