Scanning localized evaporation and deposition of an evaporant on a substrate utilizes a mask assembly comprised of a series of mask elements with openings thereon and spaced apart in a stack. The openings are aligned so as to direct the evaporant therethrough onto the substrate. The mask elements are heated and the stack may include a movable shutter element to block openings in adjacent mask elements. The evaporant streams are usually vertical but some may be oblique to the substrate, and they may be of different materials.

This application is a division of application Ser. No. 10/252,884, filed Sep. 24, 2002, pending.
The present invention is directed to a method for improving the deposition of patterned thin films using a scanning localized evaporation methodology (SLEM) incorporating a collimating mask assembly for producing multilayered electronic and photonic devices, such as transistors, sublimable organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), photonic band gap structures, and integrated circuits and systems.
The growth of ultra-thin organic films currently involves predominantly the use of high vacuum,[1, 2] Langmuir-Blodgett film deposition,[3-5] or self-assembled monolayers.[6-11] Typically, producing high resolution patterns in these films requires the use of lithographic techniques that enable the selective removal of portions of the deposited layers.[12, 13] Lately, soft stamping[14-18] and ink-jet printing[19-22] have permitted direct patterned depositions of polymeric semiconductors. More recently, a scanning localized evaporation methodology (SLEM) has been invented.[23] This process features close proximity, selective deposition of thin films in patterns suitable for fabrication of electronic, optoelectronic and photonic devices. In addition, high deposition rates and improved material economy are realized.
As a result, the definition of high fidelity patterns in deposited thin films is generally obtained through the use of a variety of photolithographic and etching techniques. Ink-jet printing technologies usually employ microwells to contain deposited microdroplets of ink and limit its spreading while drying. Direct vacuum deposition of patterned films requires the use of shadow masks that usually are in direct contact with the substrate, in which case they are termed contact masks. Contact masks typically exhibit the following limitations:
As discussed above, pattern definition in the SLEM technique is greatly dependent on the mask to substrate separation. Reduction in this spacing between the mask and substrate improves the resolution. However, increased radiation adversely affects the quality of the deposited films as the spacing between substrate and heated mask decreases.
Because of the natural divergence of the evaporant flux, obtaining high-fidelity patterns requires close proximity of the mask to the substrate shown in
It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel SLEM method using collimating apparatus for generation of closely controlled patterns on the substrate.
It is also an object to provide a novel collimating mask assembly for generating closely controlled patterns on a substrate.
This invention describes a heated shadow mask assembly capable of producing high-resolution features in thin films deposited through the mask. The central feature of this mask assembly is the integration of multiple masks with identical patterns, aligned and spaced in a specific manner to produce well collimated streams of evaporant. In addition, this mask assembly may provide unique features including:
The use of this mask assembly in scanning localized evaporation methodology (SLEM) reduces undesired substrate heating and improves film thickness uniformity, resulting in high fidelity pattern definition.
The term "alignment" as used herein includes substantially exact vertical alignment of all margins of the apertures in the masks of the stack and oblique alignment in which the apertures are offset along at least one axis to provide an oblique path for the vaporized material in offset axis.
The heated shadow mask assembly is constructed of a multiplicity of individual shadow masks, stacked one above the other, with their apertures aligned in such a way that free passage of the vapor stream therethrough is allowed. These individual masks can be constructed from electrically resistive material, to permit precise temperature control at each level of the mask assembly. In addition, proper choice of spacing of the individual mask elements eliminates diagonal passage through a periodic set of apertures.
According to the present invention, the temperature gradient throughout the multileveled, stacked mask can be tuned by a variety of means. For the same mask material, the individual mask thickness and its proximity to other masks sets its temperature for a given power input. Controlling the current flowing though each mask permits greater flexibility in designing the differential temperature profile from top to bottom. This embodiment permits the temperature of the mask closest to the substrate to be maintained at a temperature lower than that of the other masks and the evaporating source. Off axis alignment of apertures in such mask assembly permits angle of incidence controlled deposition profiles.
In another version of this invention, a multilevel collimating mask assembly includes a shutter mechanism.
The present invention utilizes a multilevel heated collimating shadow mask assembly that resolves the problems discussed hereinbefore.
The slots or openings 100 in the masks were cut using wire Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM). Other techniques, including but not limited to, laser machining and a variety of etching techniques such as plasma, ion beam and wet chemical etching, can be used.
Based on geometric considerations using a line of sight model, the width of the deposit W through a mask assembly with an aperture width O, the separation d between the bottom of the mask assembly and the substrate and the overall mask assembly thickness D are related by equation 1 below:
In this design, deposited feature widths W of 250 microns were targeted while maintaining a 3,000 micron substrate to mask separation d. Based on the 125 microns width apertures O, the overall mask assembly thickness D was 6000 microns.
A separate oblique deposition design is shown in
Another embodiment of the use of oblique deposition is shown in
The lower size limit of mask openings made by EDM, laser drilling or focused ion beam sources in a pre-assembled stack of individual shadow mask blanks is typically a few microns depending on the required thickness of the mask assembly (equation 1). This imposes strict limits on the thickness of the assembly through which apertures may be accurately realized. For example, in the case of laser machining we need to avoid broadening of the features due to diffraction limits, local heating effects, or lack of adequate collimation. Finer features can be achieved through the use of microlithography, although limited to an individual mask element. Use of this process dictates alignment and bonding of several elements with respect to each other, in order to achieve collimation.
The minimum size of the openings that can be produced in an integrated mask assembly generally increases as its overall thickness increases. These mask openings can be simultaneously narrowed throughout all of the individual masks by a controlled build-up of suitable material 25 on the respective edges of the openings as shown schematically in
Equipping such a collimating mask assembly with a shutter mechanism further enhances its versatility and permits better control of the deposition cycle.
Such structures can act as collimating mask assemblies when equipped with electrical contacts 32 and 9 (
A variety of heated collimating mask assemblies outfitted with shutter mechanisms can be also produced using the technology outlined in
Example of the method and apparatus of the present invention is the following specific example:
Five tungsten foils (1′×1′×0.001″) are sandwiched with three metallic spacers having a thickness of 1000 microns, 2000 microns and 1500 microns, respectively. This assembly was clamped on its sides. The five tungsten foils were bonded with a vacuum compatible insulating material (to hold them in place once the metallic spacers are removed). Following this bonding the opening in the mask set were created in all the foils stacked together using electric discharge machining (EDM). At this point the metallic spacers were removed. The two ends of the stack were clamped to copper electrodes as shown in
The mask unit was placed between the substrate 8 and evaporation source 10 as shown in
Although tungsten foil is a convenient material for making the masks, other materials may be used such as doped Si with adequate resistivity and thickness, and nichrome, molybdenum, and tantalum foils. In the case of silicon wafers (foils), various insulators (such as glass, pyrex, quartz) can be used as spacers. These spacers may be bonded using a variety of standard bonding techniques.
Mask openings can be realized by a variety of methods such as EDM, laser machining and ion beam etching. In addition, various techniques can be employed for the alignment of openings with respect to each other in individual mask foils. These techniques are useful to realize mask assemblies that enable evaporation at an oblique angle such as shown in
Thus, it can be seen from the foregoing detailed specification and attached drawings that the collimating apparatus and method of the present invention provide effective and controlled SLEM deposition of patterns on a substrate.

You get what you pay for.......
I ordered this mattress 'hoping' it be good. I had read the reviews and some were good and some were bad. I knew I had a 50/50 chance. The mattress took about 3 weeks to be delivered after ordering. The 3rd party mattress were great in communication when the mattress would be delivered and called 15 to 20minutes before delivery. The delivery people brought the mattress wrapped and set up. Thankfully they have a survey on the service of the delivery and the quality of the product or I would have been stuck with this mattress. I usually takes surveys quickly but the survey was asking detailed answered to the product. I went upstairs to see the mattress and it was horrible upon site. It looked like people had already slept on it and it was not filled with any pillowtop. I went downstairs to tell the delivery people, I didn't like it and they recommend I refuse the order. I would spend a couple hundred more and by from your local mattress dealer. I called overstock to advise I didn't accept the mattress, they advised of the $75 restock fee which is fine. I did received my credit back to my card within a couple days. Overall poor quality but received great service from delivery company and good service from overstock.Read More
Poor quality and straw-like odor
After researching various types of mattress, we purchased what we believed to be a plush, mid-range, Pillow top mattress from Overstock. When the mattress was delivered we were VERY disappointed. The edges were very soft and there was no padding in the "pillow top". It crunched when we laid down on it and the straw-like odor was very offensive. I called the following day to make arrangements for a return. This was handled to our satisfaction.Read More

Joe Francis just got hammered by a jury in Steve Wynn's defamation lawsuit -- the jury socked him with a $20 million verdict.
If you recall ... Wynn was suing Francis for defamation, claiming the "Girls Gone Wild" guru made bogus claims that Wynn threatened to have him killed and buried in the desert over a gambling debt.
The judge nailed Francis to the tune of $5 mil for statements made to a TMZ producer in a courtroom hallway ... talking smack on Wynn.
The jury added $11 mil for defamatory statements Francis made on "Good Morning America."
All tolled, the verdict is for $20 mil.
The jury will now decide if Francis gets hit with punitive damages .. and that could be an additional $60 mil.
Francis is worth a reported $150 million.
Francis tells TMZ he believes the judge made 2 reversible and appealable errors -- one of which was allowing Wynn to add the 'GMA' claim at the end of the trial. Francis also believes some of the statements that allegedly constitute defamation were made in a court proceeding where Francis was seeking a restraining order against Wynn and were therefore privileged.

Hey girl. It's okay if we cheat on our diets. But I'll never cheat on you. – That is what my fiancé just sent me via text. And then I knew. It's finally time to introduce him to The Notebook.
It's not going to be a huge surprise for him. I mean, he actually is quite the Ryan Gosling fan, and can quote many of his "Hey Girl" memes off the top of his head (and come up with some mighty fine ones himself). Yet, film after film of Gosling's sad puppy dog eyes, we haven't gotten around to watching the tearjerker enchilada of all of his movies together.
And honestly, I think he wants to see it. Before seeing A Place Beyond The Pines, Crazy, Stupid, Love and Blue Valentine (yes, we go to a lot of movies), he always half joked of seeing the motherload of Ryan's movies. When discussing which stars we find the hottest, if he has to choose male, it's always his main man R.G. (For the record, for me – always Harrison Ford (without an earring) for men and Kate Beckinsale or Rachel Weitsz for women.)
I have never been a huge fan of Nicholas Sparks' novels, but the movie versions always seem to top the actual written word. I remember renting The Notebook, not wanting to see it in the theaters with all that "hype" (although, secretly, I kind of did). And as a chick flick, this does rank pretty high in my book. Illness, death, a torrid romance, having to choose, flowery speeches, passionate moments – it really does have all of what every romantic film checklist requires.
And hey, Jessica Simpson and R. Kelly both claim that the movie somewhat contributed to their divorces. Gosling also has heard of people breaking up due to the film. So, obviously the piece did something right (or wrong, whichever way you want to see it).
So, I loaded The Notebook as my top queue pick on Netflix, and I'm getting pretty excited about its arrival in my mailbox. It's just one of those movies that I never thought we'd ever watch together, but after he sat down last weekend to watch a Lifetime movie – I have a good feeling about this. :)

Wizards of Finance to Lecture at Pomona College
Two internationally renowned "Wizards of Finance" will explain the world of finance and investing in two lectures at Pomona College in late April. Both talks are open to the public and free of charge.
"Quantitative Investing and Asset Allocation"
On Thursday, April 24, economist Dr. Robert Litterman will explain "Quantitative Investing and Asset Allocation," the real world of equity investing. Currently part of Goldman Sachs senior management team and Director of Quantitative Resources, he manages the Quantitative Equities group, the Quantitative Strategies Group, the Global investment Strategies team and the PACE group, which develops and markets portfolio management and risk analysis tools.
Litterman is the co-developer, along with the late Fischer Black, of the famous Black-Litterman Global Asset Allocation Model, a key tool in Goldman Sachs Asset Management's asset allocation process and used in most asset management operations around the world. He is also the lead author of Modern Investment Management: An Equilibrium Approach (2003).
Prior to joining Goldman Sachs in 1986 and becoming a Partner in 1994, Litterman was an assistant vice president in the Research Department of the Federal Reserve Bank in Minneapolis.
Litterman's talk will be held 4:15-6 p.m., including a Q&A session, in the Pomona College Hahn Building (420 N. Harvard Ave., Claremont).
"The Role of Risk Transfer and Liquidity"
On Wednesday, April 30, Nobel laureate Dr. Myron Scholes, chairman of Platinum Grove Asset Management and the Frank E. Buck Professor of Finance Emeritus at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business, will explain "The Role of Risk Transfer and Liquidity."
Scholes is famous for helping to resolve one of the greatest financial puzzles ever: how to price options. He co-developed the Black-Scholes options pricing model, with Robert Merton and Fischer Black, which is considered by some the greatest discovery in finance. In 1997, he won the Nobel Prize in economics for "a new method to determine the value of derivatives." The model is now the standard in global financial markets.
Scholes is currently the chairman of the hedge fund Platinum Grove Asset Management L.P., which manages about $4.5 billion. He was also a limited partner in another famous hedge fund known as Long-Term Capital Management (LTCM).
Scholes' talk will be held 4:15-6 p.m., including a Q&A session, in the Pomona College Rose Hills Theatre, located in the Smith Campus Center (170 East 6th Street, Claremont).
The lectures are being offered in association with the Pomona College class Quantitative Investment Management (Econ 158) taught by Prof. Ludwig Chincarini. For more information about either event, call (909) 621-8881 or e-mail email@example.com.
Pomona College is one of the nation's premier liberal arts institutions, offering a comprehensive program in the arts, humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. Its hallmarks include small classes, close relationships between students and faculty, and a range of opportunities for student research.

To allow maximum flexibility in planning your trip, passenger, cabin, and vehicle fares are all figured separately and are one-way. For example, if there are two people in your party, you are driving a car on board, and you would like one cabin, you should add: 2 passenger fares + 1 vehicle fare + 1 cabin fare. Please Note: cabin fares are charged per unit, not by the number of people using the cabin.

25 (vehicle length) x 43.2 (per foot rate) equals $1,080.00 (vehicle fare)
