  • Patent number: 9515229
    Abstract: A method of making a semiconductor light emitting device having one or more light emitting surfaces includes positioning a stencil on a substrate such that a chip disposed on the substrate is positioned within an opening in the stencil. Phosphor-containing material is deposited in the opening to form a coating on one or more light emitting surfaces of the chip. The opening may or may not substantially conform to a shape of the chip. The phosphor-containing material is cured with the stencil still in place. After curing, the stencil is removed from the substrate and the coated chip is separated from the substrate. The chip may then be subjected to further processing.

  • Patent number: 9431244
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods and apparatuses for annealing an oxide semiconductor in a thin film transistor (TFT). In one aspect, the method includes providing a substrate with a partially fabricated TFT structure formed on the substrate. The partially fabricated TFT structure can include an oxide semiconductor layer and a dielectric oxide layer on the oxide semiconductor layer. The oxide semiconductor layer is annealed by heating the dielectric oxide layer with an infrared laser under ambient conditions to a temperature below the melting temperature of the oxide semiconductor layer. The infrared laser radiation can be substantially absorbed by the dielectric oxide layer and can remove unwanted defects from the oxide semiconductor layer at an interface in contact with the dielectric oxide layer.
