Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods for positioning masks in a propagation direction of a light source. The masks correspond to a pattern to be written into a photoresist layer of a substrate. The masks are positioned by stitching a first mask and a second mask. The first mask includes a set of first features having first feature extensions extending therefrom at first feature interfaces. The second mask includes a set of second features having second feature extensions extending therefrom at second feature interfaces. Each first feature extension stitches with each corresponding second feature extension to form each stitched portion of a first stitched portion of the first pair of masks. The stitched portion of the first pair of masks defines a portion of the pattern to be written into the photoresist layer.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) structure includes depositing a light extraction layer (LEL) over a stack of OLED layers by directing fluid droplets of a LEL precursor to an array of well structures separated by plateau areas. Each well structure includes a recess with sidewalls and a floor, and the plateau areas have rounded top surfaces such that the droplets of the LEL precursor are guided into recesses of the well structures. The droplets of the LEL precursor are cured to solidify the LEL in the recess.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a sub-micron 3D diffractive optics element and a method for forming the sub-micron 3D diffractive optics element. In a first embodiment, a method is provided for forming a sub-micron 3D diffractive optics element on a substrate without planarization. The method includes depositing a material stack to be patterned on a substrate, depositing and patterning a thick mask material on a portion of the material stack, etching the material stack down one level, trimming a side portion of the thick mask material, etching the material stack down one more level, repeating trim and etch steps above ‘n’ times, and stripping the thick mask material from the material stack.

Abstract: A superconducting nanowire single photon detector (SNSPD) device includes a substrate having a top surface, an optical waveguide on the top surface of the substrate to receive light propagating substantially parallel to the top surface of the substrate, a seed layer of metal nitride on the optical waveguide, and a superconductive wire on the seed layer. The superconductive wire is a metal nitride different from the metal nitride of the seed layer and is optically coupled to the optical waveguide.

Abstract: An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) deposition system includes two deposition chambers, a transfer chamber between the two deposition chambers, a metrology system having one or more sensors to perform measurements of the workpiece within the transfer chamber, and a control system to cause the system to form an organic light-emitting diode layer stack on the workpiece. Vacuum is maintained around the workpiece while the workpiece is transferred between the two deposition chambers and while retaining the workpiece within the transfer chamber. The control system is configured to cause the two deposition chambers to deposit two layers of organic material onto the workpiece, and to receive a first plurality of measurements of the workpiece in the transfer chamber from the metrology system.
