An electroluminescent display device contains an electroluminescent phosphor sandwiched between a pair of electrodes and a graphic arts element. The device is fabricated by bonding a generic electroluminescent base laminate containing an electrode and an electroluminescent layer, to a custom graphic arts film containing a graphic element and a corresponding electrode. The generic electroluminescent base laminate is made at a first location or time, and the custom graphic arts film is made at a second location or time.

The electronic modules are arranged adjacent to each other. Each pad of a first set of connection pads on a first electronic module is conductively connected to an opposing pad of a second set of connection pads of a second electronic module.

An integrated electrically-responsive lenticular display apparatus () includes a lenticular lens () integrally combined with at least one electrically-responsive light-emissive pattern (). The electrically-responsive light-emissive pattern () is a printed electrically-responsive light-emissive pattern. The printed pattern may be printed directly onto the lenticular lens () or onto a substrate (), which then attaches to the lenticular lens (). The electrically-responsive light-emissive pattern () can be interleaved with another pattern (). The other pattern () may include another electrically-responsive light-emissive pattern or a non-electrically-responsive light-emissive pattern.

Organic field effect transistors (OFETs) can be created rapidly and at low cost on organic films by using a multilayer film () that has an electrically conducting layer () on each side of a dielectric core. The electrically conducting layer is patterned to form gate electrodes (), and a polymer film () is attached onto the gate electrode side of the multilayer dielectric film, using heat and pressure () or an adhesive layer (). A source electrode and a drain electrode () are then fashioned on the remaining side of the multilayer dielectric film, and an organic semiconductor () is deposited over the source and drain electrodes, so as to fill the gap between the source and drain electrodes and touch a portion of the dielectric film to create an organic field effect transistor.

A semiconductor device comprising organic semiconductor material () has one or more barrier layers () disposed at least partially thereabout to protect the organic semiconductor material () from environment-driven changes that typically lead to inoperability of a corresponding device. If desired, the barrier layer can be comprised of partially permeable material that allows some substances therethrough to thereby effect disabling of the encapsulated organic semiconductor device after a substantially predetermined period of time. Getterers () may also be used to protect, at least for a period of time, such organic semiconductor material.

Encapsulated organic semiconductor device and method

An apparatus () such as a semiconductor device comprises a gate electrode () and at least a first electrode (). The first electrode preferably has an established perimeter that at least partially overlaps with respect to the gate electrode to thereby form a corresponding transistor channel. In a preferred approach the first electrode has a surface area that is reduced notwithstanding the aforementioned established perimeter. This, in turn, aids in reducing any corresponding parasitic capacitance. This reduction in surface area may be accomplished, for example, by providing openings () through certain portions of the first electrode.

An organic field effect transistor utilizes a bifunctional contact-enhancing agent at various interfaces to improve carrier mobility through the organic semiconductor layer, to improve carrier injection, and to enhance adhesion via a bifunctional mechanism. The contact-enhancing agent can be situated between the gate electrode () and the dielectric layer () to form a chemical or physical bond between the gate electrode and the dielectric layer. It can also be situated between the dielectric layer and the organic semiconducting layer (), or between the source and drain electrodes () and the organic semiconducting layer.

A wafer ( ) having integrated circuit elements formed therein is thinned and a first carrier ( ) is adhered thereto. The first carrier ( ) facilitates handling of the thinned wafer ( ). A second carrier ( ) is then adhered as well and the various integrated circuits are singulated to yield a plurality of thinned die ( ). Once the thinned die is mounted to a desired substrate ( ), the first carrier ( ) is readily removed. In one embodiment, the first carrier ( ) has an adhesive that becomes less adherent when exposed to a predetermined stimulus (such as a given temperature range or a given frequency range of photonic energy). Such thinned die (or modules containing such die) are readily amenable to stacking in order to achieve significantly increased circuit densities.

Thinned semiconductor wafer and die and corresponding method

An integrated circuit ( ) that includes a field effect transistor ( ) is fabricated by forming an organic semiconductor channel ( ) on one substrate ( ), forming device electrodes ( ) on one or more other substrates ( ), and subsequently laminating the substrates together. In one embodiment, a dielectric patch ( ) that functions as a gate dielectric is formed on one of the substrates ( ) prior to performing the lamination. Lamination provides a low cost route to device assembly, allows for separate fabrication of different device structures on different substrates, and thins various device layers resulting in improved performance.
