Upon exposing the compounded polymer material to laser radiation, the irradiated portion of the compounded polymer material forms a mark in compounded polymer material. A lightness value difference (AL) between the mark and the non-irradiated portion of the compounded polymer material has an absolute value of at least 5, and the lightness value difference between the mark and the non-irradiated portion is greater than if the polymer material did not include the enhancer.

Abstract

A conductive paste is provided for forming conductive traces on substrates. The conductive paste includes a vehicle and conductive material. The vehicle includes a resin, a plasticizer, and a solvent in which the resin is dissolved. After application to a substrate, the conductive paste is cured at ambient temperature by evaporation of the solvent from the paste, to thereby form a conductive trace on the substrate. The conductive trace does not require a curing agent, and attains low resistivity within minutes of application to the substrate.

A method for manufacturing an azoic pigment is disclosed, according to an illustrative embodiment of the present invention. The method includes producing slurry of the azoic pigment. The slurry includes primary aromatic amine (PAA). The method further includes the derivatization of the residual PAA in the slurry, followed by encapsulation of the slurry. The slurry is acidified or basified. Finally, the slurry is further processed, thereby forming PAA migration free azoic pigment. The derivatization and encapsulation additively or synergistically reduce the PAA content thereby inhibiting migration of PAA from the pigment into a substrate onto which the pigment is loaded.

Abstract

A sintered machinable glass-ceramic is provided. The machinable glass-ceramic is formed by mixing phyllosilicate material having a sheet structure, with a glass fit and firing the mixture at relatively low temperatures to sinter the phyllosilicate, while maintaining the sheet-like morphology of the phyllosilicate and its associated cleaving properties. The sintered machinable glass-ceramic can be machined with conventional metal working tools and includes the electrical properties of the phyllosilicate. Producing the sintered machinable glass-ceramic does not require the relatively high-temperature bulk nucleation and crystallization needed to form sheet phyllosilicate phases in situ.

Abstract

A sintered machinable glass-ceramic is provided. The machinable glass-ceramic is formed by mixing phyllosilicate material having a sheet structure, with a glass frit and firing the mixture at relatively low temperatures to sinter the phyllosilicate, while maintaining the sheet-like morphology of the phyllosilicate and its associated cleaving properties. The sintered machinable glass-ceramic can be machined with conventional metal working tools and includes the electrical properties of the phyllosilicate. Producing the sintered machinable glass-ceramic does not require the relatively high- temperature bulk nucleation and crystallization needed to form sheet phyllosilicate phases in situ.

Abstract

A method for manufacturing an azoic pigment is disclosed, according to an illustrative embodiment of the present invention. The method includes producing slurry of the azoic pigment. The slurry includes primary aromatic amine (PAA). The method further includes the derivatization of the residual PAA in the slurry, followed by encapsulation of the slurry. The slurry is acidified or basified. Finally, the slurry is further processed, thereby forming PAA migration free azoic pigment. The derivatization and encapsulation additively or synergistically reduce the PAA content thereby inhibiting migration of PAA from the pigment into a substrate onto which the pigment is loaded.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method of performing a chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) process with a high germanium-to-oxide removal selectivity and a low rate of germanium recess formation. The method is performed by providing a semiconductor substrate having a plurality of germanium compound regions including germanium interspersed between a plurality of oxide regions including an oxide. A slurry is then provided onto the semiconductor substrate. The slurry has an oxidant and an etching inhibitor configured to reduce a removal rate of the germanium relative to the oxide. A CMP process is then performed by bringing a chemical mechanical polishing pad in contact with top surfaces of the plurality of germanium compound regions and the plurality of oxide regions.

Abstract

The glass composites include glass frit, that when sintered produce a phosphor-containing layer, suitable for use in optical applications. The glass composites can include a crystallizing glass frit, such that phosphor crystals precipitate from the frit composite during sintering, or can include a non-crystallizing glass composition, such that phosphor is added to the frit composite before sintering. The sintering temperatures of the glass are relatively low so that fluorescence of the phosphors will not substantially degrade during sintering. The resulting phosphor-containing layer can be used in various optical applications including those for converting blue light into various color temperatures of white light.

Abstract

A method of modifying glass frit involves treating the frit with a grain-boundary- healing compound. The method increases transmission and clarity, and reduces haze of a fired enamel coating made from such modified glass frit as compared to a coating not made from such modified glass frit. The grain-boundary-healing compound influences the chemistry at the grain boundaries to prevent haze. The compound burns out to yield a fluxing material that dissolves alkaline carbonates or bicarbonates on the surface of the glass frit. The dissolved species are incorporated into the enamel coating, thereby promoting the fusion of the glass frit and reducing the amount of haze in the enamel coating. The additives also function to prevent the formation of seed crystals on the surface of the glass frit that may inhibit the fusion of the glass frit.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) slurry composition that provides for a high metal to dielectric material selectivity along with a low rate of metal recess formation. In some embodiments, the disclosed slurry composition has an oxidant and an etching inhibitor. The oxidant has a compound with one or more oxygen molecules. The etching inhibitor has a nitrogen-oxide compound. The etching inhibitor reduces the rate of metal and dielectric material (e.g., oxide) removal, but does so in a manner that reduces the rate of dielectric material removal by a larger amount, so as to provide the slurry composition with a high metal (e.g., germanium) to dielectric material removal selectivity and with a low rate of metal recess formation.

Abstract

An acrylate-based curable printing medium is disclosed. Acrylates, in the form of monomers, dimers, trimers and oligomers, as well as resins, form an interpenetrating polymer network by crosslinking, which is effected by heat, and optionally peroxide curing agents. Formulations can be tailored to achieve desired properties of the cured polymer including film hardness, burnout properties, and adhesion to glass. Such properties are adjusted by manipulating the relative proportions of the acrylic monomers, oligomers and resins that are used as a ceramic medium or vehicle.
