Abstract
A method of forming a patterned optical transmission device on a substrate includes forming a liquid phase pattern on the substrate. The liquid phase pattern comprises a fluid precursor having a suspension or a solution of a dopant in a solvent. Catalyzing the liquid phase pattern to convert the liquid phase pattern into a hardened pattern, and processing the hardened pattern to form a patterned optical transmission device.
Claims20
A method of forming a patterned optical transmission device on a substrate, the method comprising:
- forming a liquid phase pattern on the substrate, wherein the liquid phase pattern comprises a fluid precursor having a suspension or a solution of a dopant in a solvent;
- catalyzing the liquid phase pattern to convert the liquid phase pattern into a hardened pattern;
- and
- processing the hardened pattern to form a patterned optical transmission device.
A method of forming a patterned optical transmission device on a substrate, the method comprising:
- disposing a mold on the substrate, wherein the mold comprises at least one cavity;
- disposing a fluid precursor inside the cavity of the mold, wherein the fluid precursor comprises a suspension or a solution of a dopant in an organic solvent;
- removing the mold from the substrate to expose the liquid phase pattern;
- catalyzing the liquid phase pattern to convert the liquid phase pattern into a hardened pattern;
- heating the hardened pattern;
- and
- sintering the hardened pattern.
A method of forming a patterned optical transmission device on a substrate, the method comprising:
- forming a liquid phase pattern on the substrate, wherein the liquid phase pattern comprises a fluid precursor solvent having a dopant in a suspension or a solution therein;
- and
- catalyzing the liquid phase pattern to convert the liquid phase pattern into a hardened pattern and to fix the liquid phase pattern.
