  • Patent number: 5576249
    Abstract: An electrochemical method is disclosed for selectively etching either n-type or p-type semiconductor material in the presence of the other type. A liquid electrolyte is prepared in which the etching reaction is based on hole transport. In selectively etching p-type material the holes are provided by the dopant concentration and the process is carried out in the dark to prevent the etching of n-type layers. Conversely, selective etching of n-type material is done in the presence of light and with p-type material effectively out of the current path. In a preferred embodiment of a method of selectively etching a doping superlattice n-i-p-i structure composed of alternating p-type and n-type GaAs layers, C.sub.6 H.sub.2 (OH).sub.2 (SO.sub.3 Na).sub.2 .cndot.H.sub.2 O is used as the electrolyte. Selectively etching first the p-type layers at one end of the structure and then the n-type layers at the other end, digitate edge patterns are etched to which ohmic contacts can be applied.

  • Patent number: 5435856
    Abstract: A method is provided for forming selective electrical contacts on a structure of alternating ultrathin semiconductor layers of two different types, so that electrical connection can be made separately to the layers of a given type. Selective etching of first one type of layers at one side of the structure and then the second type of layers at another side produces digitate edge patterns suitable for deposition of ohmic contacts. Any method can be used which directs particles of a conducting material onto the digitate edge portions at an angle to build up material on only one set of layers at a time. The gaps between adjacent protruding layers of the same doping type are filled in as the deposition continues. In this way the high-temperature steps required for diffusion or ion implantation activation are avoided. For a mesa-etched n-i-p-i chip the contact is allowed to extend onto adjacent regions of the supporting wafer so that further electrical contacting can be done in those regions.

  • Patent number: 5227773
    Abstract: A display device which is especially suited for application as a center-high-mounted stop-light (CHMSL) or brake light for an automotive vehicle includes a white linear light source. A coupler panel or sheet formed of a fluorescent dye-doped material couples light from one edge therethrough to an opposite edge from the light source to a light receiving edge of a display panel. The coupler panel transmits red light therethrough, absorbs other colors of light, and re-emits the absorbed light as red light. The display panel has a first surface formed with optical quality, light reflecting grooves, which reflect and disperse the edge coupled light out a second surface which is opposite to the first surface. Each groove includes a series of laterally spaced curved light dispersing depressions. The display panel viewed from the first surface is transparent at all times.

  • Patent number: 5165772
    Abstract: A visual display device (10) is especially suited for use as a center-high-mounted stop-light (CHMSL) for an automobile rear window which slants downwardly from the horizontal by a small angle. The device (10) includes a linear light source (12) which preferably emits red light. A display panel (14) has a light receiving edge (14a) extending parallel and adjacent to the light source (12) and first and second opposing surfaces (14b, 14c). The second surface (14b) slants toward the first surface (14c) in a direction away from the edge (14a) and is formed with steps (14d) having walls (14e) which are angled toward the edge (14a) such that the peak output light propagating through the display panel (14) from the edge (14a) is refracted horizontally out of the panel (14). The walls (14e) of the steps (14d) are formed with laterally spaced depressions (14f) for lateral dispersion of light.

  • Patent number: 4989956
    Abstract: A light emitting panel is formed of a transparent plastic substrate doped with fluorescent dye which absorbs incident light through a relatively large surface area and emits light of a longer wavelength out through one edge. The incident light may be ambient or produced by a fluorescent light source. The edge emitted light is optically coupled into an edge of a display panel, which may be a polymer dispersed liquid crystal display or a plastic panel having a display surface formed with an etched or printed pattern, grating or hologram. The substrate materials of the emitting and display panels, as well as an optical adhesive which joins the edges thereof, preferably have an essentially similar index of refraction which is larger than that of air causing light propagating through the panels to be internally reflected and exit the structure only through the pattern on the display surface.
