Abstract: Embodiments relate to forming an elastomeric interface layer (elayer) with a flap over multiple light emitting diode (LED) dies by forming materials across multiple LED dies and removing the materials between the LED dies. The formed flap of the elayer provides a large surface area for adhesion between each LED and a pick-up surface. For example, the flap may have a surface area that is larger than the light emitting surface of the LED die, or larger than the surface area of an elastomeric interface layer without the flap. As such, the elayer allows each LED to be picked up by a pick-up surface and placed onto a display substrate including control circuits for sub-pixels of an electronic display. In some embodiments, the LED dies are micro-LED (?LED) dies.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to using flux or underfill as a trapping layer for temporarily attaching light emitting diodes (LEDs) to a substrate and heating to simultaneously bond multiple LEDs onto the substrate. The flux or underfill may be selectively coated at the ends of electrodes of the LEDs prior to placing the LEDs on the substrate. Due to adhesive properties of the flux or underfill, multiple LEDs can be placed on and attached to the substrate prior to performing the bonding process. Once LEDs are placed on the substrate, the flux or underfill facilitates formation of metallic contacts between electrodes of the LED and contacts of the substrate during the bonding process. By using the flux or underfill, the formation of metallic contacts can be performed even without applying pressure.

By suitable structuring, it is possible, where appropriate in combination with a suitable contact pressure, to selectively control the detachment of surfaces contacted on these faces.

Abstract: A process for producing a structured surface, in which a composition comprising nanowires is applied to a surface and structured, especially by partial displacement of the composition. When the solvent is removed, the nanowires aggregate to form structures. These may be transparent and also conductive.

Abstract: Techniques related to molded etch masks are disclosed. Etch masks can be formed based on pressing a mold against a layer of pliable masking material applied to a surface of an epitaxial layered structure. The epitaxial layered structure includes a first semiconductor layer, a second semiconductor layer, and a light-emitting layer between the first and second semiconductor layers. The epitaxial layered structure is etched using the molded etch masks to form etched structures. The etched structures may be optical structures that modify light emitted through the surface or epitaxial mesas that collimate light within the epitaxial layered structure.

Abstract: A method for producing metal structures includes an initiator composition comprising a photocatalytic substance being applied to a substrate. A precursor composition that can be reduced to a metal by the photocatalytic activity of the nanodusts is applied to the layer. A structure template is then applied, partially displacing the precursor composition, and then the substrate is illuminated. Structured metal structures are thus generated.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to an integrated process for forming an elastomeric layer over an epitaxial structure of multiple light emitting diode (LED) dies, and then etching the elastomeric layer into individual elastomeric interface layers (elayers) on each of the LED dies and etching the epitaxial structure to singulate the LED dies. The elayer allows each LED die to be picked up by a pick-up head (or pick and place head (PPH)), and placed onto a display substrate including control circuits for sub-pixels of an electronic display. In some embodiments, the LED dies are micro-LED (uLED) dies.

Abstract: One or more chips are transferred from one substrate to another by using one or more polymer layers to secure the one or more chips to an intermediate carrier substrate. While secured to the intermediate carrier substrate, the one or more chips may be transported or put through further processing or fabrication steps. To release the one or more chips, the adhesion strength of the one or more polymer layers is gradually reduced to minimize potential damage to the one or more chips.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to forming a conformable interface layers (clayers) on small semiconductor devices, such as light emitting diodes (LEDs) to facilitate adhesion with a pick-up head for operations during the manufacturing of an electronic display. A conformable material is formed in regions between LED dies on a carrier substrate and over the LED dies. A mask is applied over the conformable material to selectively cover the conformable material. Portions of the conformable material are exposed to light to selectively cure or not cure the portions of the conformable material. The conformable material between the LED dies is removed to form a conformable interface layer over each of the LED dies.
