  • Patent number: 11428650
    Abstract: Methods and systems for performing overlay and edge placement errors of device structures based on x-ray diffraction measurement data are presented. Overlay error between different layers of a metrology target is estimated based on the intensity variation within each x-ray diffraction order measured at multiple, different angles of incidence and azimuth angles. The estimation of overlay involves a parameterization of the intensity modulations of common orders such that a low frequency shape modulation is described by a set of basis functions and a high frequency overlay modulation is described by an affine-circular function including a parameter indicative of overlay. In addition to overlay, a shape parameter of the metrology target is estimated based on a fitting analysis of a measurement model to the intensities of the measured diffraction orders. In some examples, the estimation of overlay and the estimation of one or more shape parameter values are performed simultaneously.

  • Patent number: 6126988
    Abstract: A method for forming a planar aluminum layer in a flat panel display structure. In one embodiment, the present invention creates a flat panel display structure having a raised black matrix defining wells within the matrix. The present embodiment then deposits a non-conformal layer of acrylic-containing aluminizing lacquer over a layer of phosphors residing within the wells of the black matrix. In so doing, the lacquer layer forms a substantially planar surface on top of the phosphors. The present invention then deposits a layer of catalyst material over the layer of lacquer so that the aluminizing lacquer can be burned off completely and cleanly at a relatively low temperature. The catalytic layer conforms to the planar surface of the lacquer layer. The present invention then deposits an aluminum layer over the catalytic layer. The aluminum layer, in turn, conforms to the planar surface of the catalytic layer. Finally, the present invention bakes off the non-conformal lacquer layer.

  • Patent number: 6103432
    Abstract: A method for forming a black matrix includes forming a black matrix applying a photoresist forming composition containing a compound represented by the formula (1) on the inner surface of a panel and drying the same to form a photoresist layer; exposing the photoresist layer; applying a black pigment solution for forming a black matrix on the photoresist layer and drying the same to form a black pigment layer; and developing the resultant structure; ##STR1## wherein, X is a halogen atom and l:m:n is 1.0-4.5:70.0-98.0:1.0-20.0. The method for forming a black matrix is a non-etching method, which is a simplified process and is not detrimental to environment. Also, since the black matrix material can be recovered from a developing solution for recycling, it is economical. Also, since the photoresist forming composition of the present invention has a good photosensitivity, a black matrix having an excellent landing margin can be obtained.

  • Patent number: 6071657
    Abstract: In a method for manufacturing a phosphor screen of a cathode ray tube, a first photo-resist layer is coated on an inner surface of a panel of the cathode ray tube except at predetermined locations. A second photo-resist layer dispersed with pigment particles is coated on the first photo-resist layer and at the predetermined locations. The second photo-resist layer is exposed at the predetermined locations from an opposite side of the panel. The first photo-resist layer is dissolved and the second photo-resist layer is removed from the first photo-resist layer so as to form a color filter layer at the predetermined locations. A phosphor layer is formed on the color filter layer.

  • Patent number: 6037086
    Abstract: A light-absorbing matrix 23, having openings therein, is formed on an interior surface of a faceplate panel 12 of a cathode-ray tube 10 by providing a photoreceptor thereon, electrostatically charging the photoreceptor 72 to a substantially uniform level of charge, and exposing the photoreceptor to light through openings 33 in a color selection electrode 24 to selectively discharge the more intensely illuminated areas of the photoreceptor, without substantially discharging the less intensely illuminated areas. The photoreceptor 72 comprises a plurality of layers including a photoresist layer 56, a conductive layer 62, and a photoconductive layer 66. The openings 33 in the color selection electrode 24 have a dimension substantially greater than the dimension of the openings in the resultant matrix 23.The photoreceptor 72 is contacted with a liquid toner having charged pigment particles which form toner lines 84 on the less intensely illuminated areas of the photoreceptor.

A plurality of barriers are formed on the faceplate interior side, with the barriers defining a plurality of subpixel volumes. Phosphor containing photopolymerizable material mixtures of red, green and blue, are deposited into subpixel volumes, and create a faceplate interior side/phosphor interface. At least a portion of the phosphor containing photopolymerizable material mixture is exposed with sufficient actinic light through the faceplate interior side/phosphor interface to polymerize a selected depth of the phosphor containing photopolymerizable material mixture in the subpixel volumes, and form a polymerized phosphor containing material in a plurality of subpixel volumes. Non-polymerized phosphor containing photopolymerizable material is removed from the polymerized phosphor containing material.
