  • Patent number: 10964550
    Abstract: A method for surface planarization of an object using a light source of a specific wavelength according to an embodiment includes: providing an object in a main chamber; injecting an etching gas into the main chamber; inputting the light source of a specific wavelength onto a surface of the object; and controlling a temperature of the object. According to the method, it is possible to minimize the side effects such as scratches or contamination of the sample that occur in a conventional chemical-mechanical planarization process. In addition, it is possible to allow precise planarization in nanometers (nm) and simultaneously perform planarization to a side surface of a device as well as a large-sized surface, thereby reducing cost and time required for the planarization process. Moreover, since the surface roughness and the electrical conductivity are improved, it is possible to increase the efficiency and output of the LED device.

  • Publication number: 20190187368
    Abstract: In a method for fabricating a broadband near infrared plasmonic waveguide, the method includes forming a first pattern on a substrate. A metal thin film is evaporated on the substrate on which the first pattern is formed. The first pattern is removed from the substrate on which the metal thin film is evaporated, to remain a second pattern on the substrate on which the metal thin film is evaporated. The substrate on which the second pattern is formed is heated, to induce dewetting, so that metal nano particles are formed on the substrate.
