A structure is disclosed, comprising: a first field effect transistor, FET, comprising a first source terminal, a first drain terminal, a first layer or body of semiconductive material arranged to provide a first semiconductive channel connecting the first source terminal to the first drain terminal, and a gate terminal arranged with respect to the first semiconductive channel such that a conductivity of the first semiconductive channel may be controlled by application of a voltage to the gate terminal; and a second FET comprising a second source terminal, a second drain terminal, a second layer or body of semiconductive material arranged to provide a second semiconductive channel connecting the second source terminal to the second drain terminal, and the gate terminal, the second conductive channel being arranged with respect to the gate terminal such that a conductivity of the second channel may be controlled by application of a voltage to the gate terminal. Methods of manufacturing such structures are also disclosed.

Methods of manufacturing electronic structures

The present invention provides processes for manufacturing a plurality of discrete integrated circuits (ICs) on a carrier, the process comprising the steps of: providing a carrier for a flexible substrate; depositing a flexible substrate of uniform thickness on said carrier; removing at least a portion of the thickness of the flexible substrate from at least a portion of the IC connecting areas to form channels in the flexible substrate and a plurality of IC substrate units spaced apart from one another on the carrier by said channels; forming an integrated circuit on at least one of the IC substrate units.

Electronic structure having two field effect transistors

A liquid fuel composition for a spark ignition internal combustion engine comprising (a) gasoline blending components, (b) Fischer-Tropsch derived naphtha at a level of up to 50% v/v and (c) oxygenated hydrocarbon at a level less than 50% v/v. While the low octane number of Fischer-Tropsch derived naphtha would normally severely restrict its blendability in gasoline to low levels, it has now been found that Fischer-Tropsch derived naphtha can be included in, for example, ethanol-containing gasoline fuel compositions, in surprisingly and significantly high blend ratios of Fischer-Tropsch derived naphtha to ethanol.

Fuel composition

The invention relates to a thermode for connecting at least two components, comprising a tip having a body portion with at least two contact surface portions connected to and spaced apart from one another by a recess configured to receive a portion of one of the at least two components; and a support portion having at least one supporting surface portion configured to support a further component (being the other of the at least two components, wherein the contact surface portions and the supporting surface portion are configured to receive the at least two components between them and wherein one or both of the contact surface portions and the supporting surface portion are moveable relative to and towards one another to exert heat and/or pressure on the at least two components located between the contact surface portions and the supporting portion.

Profiled thermode

One exemplary aspect relates to a process and apparatus for selectively changing adhesion strength between a flexible substrate and a carrier at specific locations to facilitate shipping and subsequent removal of the flexible substrate from the carrier. The process includes providing a flexible substrate comprising a plurality of integrated circuits thereon providing a carrier for the flexible substrate and adhering the flexible substrate to the carrier by creating an interface between the flexible substrate and the carrier. The process further includes changing the adhesion force between the flexible substrate and the carrier at selected locations by non-uniform treatment of the interface between the flexible substrate and the carrier with an electromagnetic radiation source (e.g. a laser, flashlamp, high powered LED, an infrared radiation source or the like) so as to decrease or increase the adhesion force between a portion of the flexible substrate and the carrier at the selected location.

Multi-step integrated circuit handling process and apparatus
