Abstract:
A dispense controller and a tool controller may aid in providing a drop pattern of fluid on a substrate. The dispense controller may provide dispense coordinates to a fluid dispense system based on the drop pattern. The tool controller may control movement of a stage and also provide synchronization pulses to the fluid dispense system. The fluid dispense system may provide the drop pattern of fluid on the substrate using the dispense coordinates and the synchronization pulses.

Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to encapsulated optical devices and methods of forming encapsulated optical devices. The optical devices include a plurality of optical device structures disposed on a substrate. An encapsulation coating is disposed over the plurality of optical device structures. The encapsulation coating includes a ratio of encapsulation material to solvent. A plurality of gaps are formed in the optical device. The plurality of gaps are formed when the solvent is evaporated from the encapsulation coating. The material composition of the encapsulation coating, the width and device angle of the plurality of optical device structures, as well as process parameters of the spin on coating process, the curing process, the baking process, the drying process, and the developing process will affect the formation of the plurality of gaps and the depth at which the plurality of gaps are formed.
