Process For Lift Off And Transfer Of Semiconductor Devices Onto An Alien Substrate

US Patent:
6346459, Feb 12, 2002
Filed:
Feb 2, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/496597
Inventors:
Alexander Y Usenko - Murray Hill NJ
William N. Carr - Montclair NJ
Assignee:
Silicon Wafer Technologies, Inc. - Newark NJ
International Classification:
H01L 2130
US Classification:
438458, 438520
Abstract:
The method of the invention causes fracture of a semiconductor layer containing semiconductor devices from a support layer and requires no masking of the semiconductor device features during an implantation action. The method initially implants protons throughout an entirety of the semiconductor layer at an energy level that enables the protons to reach a depth that defines a delamination region. The implanting creating defects in the semiconductor devices and charge accumulation in dielectric portions (if any). Next a heat treating step causes a delamination of the semiconductor layer from the support layer that lies beneath the delamination region. Then the semiconductor layer is annealed at a temperature that exceeds a thermal stability temperature of the defects to cause a healing thereof.

Cantilevered Microstructure

US Patent:
5796152, Aug 18, 1998
Filed:
Jan 24, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/787281
Inventors:
William N. Carr - Montclair NJ
Xi-qing Sun - Kearny NJ
Assignee:
Roxburgh Ltd. - Douglas
International Classification:
H01L 2982
US Classification:
257415
Abstract:
A cantilever microstructure includes a cantilever arm with a proximal end connected to a substrate and a freely movable distal end. The cantilever arm comprises first and second sections and includes a continuous layer which exhibits a first thermal co-efficient of expansion (TCE). In one embodiment, an electrical contact is positioned at the distal end of the cantilever arm. A first layer is positioned on a surface of the continuous layer and along the first section thereof. The first layer exhibits a second TCE which is different from the first TCE of the continuous layer. A second layer is positioned on a surface of the continuous layer and along the second section thereof. The second layer exhibits a third TCE which is different from the first TCE of the continuous layer. Electrical control circuitry selectively applies signals to the first and second layers to cause a heating thereof and a flexure of the cantilever arm so as to bring the distal end thereof into contact with a conductive substrate.

Multi-Dimensional Physical Actuation Of Microstructures

US Patent:
5870007, Feb 9, 1999
Filed:
Jun 16, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/877004
Inventors:
William N. Carr - Montclair NJ
Xi-qing Sun - Kearny NJ
Assignee:
Roxburgh Ltd. - Douglas
International Classification:
H02N 204
US Classification:
333262
Abstract:
A microstructure includes a substrate and a movable platform which is tethered by a first cantilever arm to the substrate. The first cantilever arm is comprised of a sandwich of first and second materials, the first and second materials exhibiting either different thermal coefficients of expansion or a piezoelectric layer. A second cantilever arm includes a first end which is tethered to the platform and a free distal end which is positioned to engage the substrate. The second cantilever arm is constructed similarly to the first cantilever arm. A controller enables movement of the platform through application of signals to both the first cantilever arm and the second cantilever arm to cause flexures of both thereof. The second cantilever arm, through engagement of its free end with the substrate, aids the action of the first cantilever arm in moving the platform. Further embodiments include additional cantilever arms which are independently controllable to enable multiple ranges of movement of the platform by selective actuation of the cantilever arms; and plural opposed cantilever arms that are connected between the substrate and the platform, but are independently controllable to achieve complex modes of movement of the platform.

Filed:
Feb 16, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/706660
Inventors:
William N. Carr - Montclair NJ, US
International Classification:
H01Q 1/00

Abstract:
An antenna for a Radio-Frequency IDentification (RFID) system is disclosed that comprises a resonant structure, an RFID load element, and a floating coupling element. One of the two terminals of the RFID load element is connected directly to the resonant structure, and the other terminal is connected to the floating coupling element. The floating coupling element is electrically isolated from the resonant structure; its presence provides an improved impedance match to the RFID load element.

Radiation Sensor With Synchronous Reset

US Patent:
2004019, Oct 7, 2004
Filed:
Feb 7, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/359312
Inventors:
William Carr - Montclair NJ, US
Lijun Jiang - , US
International Classification:
G01J005/00
US Classification:
250/338300
Abstract:
This invention consists of a radiation sensor with a thermal cycling and synchronous readout scheme. It is intended for use with pyro-optical materials which exhibit a phase transition that is hysteric. A preferred material is vanadium oxide which has a semiconductor-metal phase transition typically at 68 deg C. and a hysteresis of a few degrees C. depending on material processing. The temperature of the pyro-optical film is cycled in synchronization with readout electronics to achieve a reset reference for the readout once each repetitive cycle. When the thermal cycle is divided into two regions, a reference and a biased frame are obtained. The readout electronics compare the reference frame the biased frame to obtain a desired difference which is an unbiased frame.

Radiation Sensor With Photo-Thermal Gain

US Patent:
6888141, May 3, 2005
Filed:
Dec 2, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/307586
Inventors:
William N. Carr - Montclair NJ, US
Assignee:
MultiSpectral Imaging, Inc. - Newark NJ
International Classification:
G01J005/00
US Classification:
2503381, 2503361, 250330, 250332, 2503383
Abstract:
A thermal sensor for low level radiation with built-in photo-thermal gain utilizing a thin film of pyro-optical material to modulate the reflectivity and/or transmission of a photonic carrier beam. The photonic carrier beam is modulated by the temperature of the pyro-optical film and detected by typically a silicon detector. A slight temperature increase of the pyro-optical film due to absorption of low level radiation increases the coefficient of absorption of the photonic carrier beam which in turn causes a further increase in temperature of the pyro-optical film. The photonic carrier beam provides power to increase the temperature of the pyro-optical film beyond the heating caused by the absorption of low level radiation alone. This thermal amplification effect provides a radiation sensor with photo-thermal gain.

Multiband Rfid Tag

US Patent:
2011006, Mar 24, 2011
Filed:
Aug 5, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/462428
Inventors:
William N. Carr - Montclair NJ, US
Assignee:
New Jersey Microsystems. Inc - Montclair NJ
International Classification:

Radiation Sensor

US Patent:
2005010, May 26, 2005
Filed:
Nov 25, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/720062
Inventors:
William Carr - Montclair NJ, US
International Classification:
G01J005/20
US Classification:
250338400, 250332000
Abstract:
A radiation sensor utilizing a single crystal semiconductor pyro-optical film to modulate a photonic carrier beam with energy in excess of the bandgap of the semiconductor for the purpose of detecting a first source of radiation. Specific implementations described here include a thin film of single crystal semiconductor made part of a suspended microplatform thermally isolated above an underlying substrate. The first source of low level radiation incident upon the microplatform and partially absorbed therein causes an incremental heating of the pyro-optical film. A second source of radiation comprised of a photonic carrier beam is incident on said microplatform and exits by reflectivity means or transmission means and is modulated by the pyro-optical effect with incremental heating of the platform and film. A detector or array of detectors monitors the intensity of the photonic carrier beam exiting the microplatform and thereby provides a sensitive means of monitoring the amplitude of the low level radiation.
