  • Patent number: 11955338
    Abstract: A method includes providing a substrate having a surface such that a first hard mask layer is formed over the surface and a second hard mask layer is formed over the first hard mask layer, forming a first pattern in the second hard mask layer, where the first pattern includes a first mandrel oriented lengthwise in a first direction and a second mandrel oriented lengthwise in a second direction different from the first direction, and where the first mandrel has a top surface, a first sidewall, and a second sidewall opposite to the first sidewall, and depositing a material towards the first mandrel and the second mandrel such that a layer of the material is formed on the top surface and the first sidewall but not the second sidewall of the first mandrel.

  • Publication number: 20240087896
    Abstract: Methods of forming line-end extensions and devices having line-end extensions are provided. In some embodiments, a method includes forming a patterned photoresist on a first region of a hard mask layer. A line-end extension region is formed in the hard mask layer. The line-end extension region extends laterally outward from an end of the first region of the hard mask layer. The line-end extension region may be formed by changing a physical property of the hard mask layer at the line-end extension region.

  • Patent number: 10895641
    Abstract: A proximity sensing device which is disposed under the OLED panel and has an emitting module and a receiving module, is provided. The emitting module can emit an invisible light which has a peak wavelength not less than 1000 nm. The receiving module is disposed adjacent to the emitting module and can receive a reflecting light from the reflected invisible light. Therefore, the invisible light passing through the OLED panel will not cause a bright spot on the panel.

  • Publication number: 20190017867
    Abstract: The invention provides a light emitting sensing device and a manufacturing method thereof. The light emitting sensing device comprises: a non-translucent substrate having a first surface with at least one recess formed on the first surface; a light emitting element disposed in the at least one recess; a light sensing element disposed on the first surface; a first transparent material disposed in the at least one recess and covering the light emitting element; and a second transparent material disposed on the first surface and covering the light sensing element. The light emitting sensing device provided in this embodiment solves the problem in the prior art, the infrared light emitted by the light emitting chip irradiates into the sensing chip and causes the sensing chip to be interfered by the light of the light emitting chip resulting in reduced sensing accuracy.
