Patent number: 9293328Abstract: Methods for adhering materials and methods for enhancing adhesion between materials are disclosed. In some embodiments, a polymer brush material is bonded to a base material, and a developable polymer resist material is applied over the grafted polymer brush material. The resist material is at least partially miscible in the grafted polymer brush material. As such, the resist material at least partially dissolves within the grafted polymer brush material to form an intertwined material of grafted polymer brush macromolecules and resist polymer macromolecules. Adhesion between the developable polymer resist and the base material may be thereby enhanced. Also disclosed are related semiconductor device structures.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2014Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventor: Dan B. Millward

Patent number: 9242505Abstract: A production method of workpiece is provided. First, an adhesive layer is applied on a workpiece, wherein a material of the adhesive layer includes thermosetting resin and radiationcurable resin. The adhesive layer is impressed by a mold, so that the adhesive layer forms a three-dimensional pattern. A first curing process is performed on the adhesive layer by one of radiation-curing and thermal-curing. The workpiece is punched after the first curing process is performed on the adhesive layer, so that the workpiece forms a three-dimensional workpiece. A second curing process is performed on the adhesive layer by another one of radiation-curing and thermal-curing after the workpiece is punched. In addition, a workpiece with three-dimensional pattern is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2011Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: COMPAL ELECTRONICS, INC.Inventors: Wan-Li Chuang, Chien-Min Chang, Ju-Chen Chiu, Chih-Hua Liu, Tsung-Sheng Chuang

Patent number: 9138776Abstract: The invention relates to a procedure for applying a coating with metallic or ceramic finish on the entirety or part of the surface of a thermoplastic, metallic or metallic alloy article, which comprises: preparing the thermoplastic, metallic, or metallic alloy article; applying on the article a base polymeric layer based on aqueous dispersions of resins without volatile organic components or on dispersions in organic solvents of resins without urethane; curing the base polymeric layer; and depositing a single layer of a metallic or ceramic material on the article coated with the cured base polymeric layer. The curing of the base polymeric layer is carried out at a temperature of between 30 and 80° C. in the case of thermal polymeric layers, or by means of ultraviolet radiation in the case of photosensitive polymeric layers. Optionally, a second transparent polymeric layer can be applied for protective purposes.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2006Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: SIDASA ENGINEERING, S.L.Inventors: Maria Benelmekki Erretby, Montse Riera Giner
