An optoelectronic component has a lens that is formed in the surface of an encapsulant surrounding a semiconductor diode element. With respect to emitters, the lens reduces internal reflection and reduces dispersion to increase overall efficiency. With respect to detectors, the lens focuses photons on the active area of the detector, increasing detector sensitivity, which allows a detector having a reduced size and reduced cost for a given application. The lens portion of the encapsulant is generally nonprotruding from the surrounding portions of the encapsulant reducing contact surface pressure caused by the optoelectronic component. This non-protruding lens is particularly useful in pulse oximetry sensor applications. The lens is advantageously formed with a contoured-tip ejector pin incorporated into the encapsulant transfer mold, and the lens shape facilitates mold release.

This invention relates to thermal spray composite coatings on a metal or non-metal substrate. The thermal spray composite coatings comprise (i) a ceramic composite coating undercoat layer having at least two ceramic material phases randomly and uniformly dispersed and / or spatially oriented throughout the ceramic composite coating, and (ii) a ceramic coating topcoat layer applied to the undercoat layer. At least a first ceramic material phase is present in the undercoat layer in an amount sufficient to provide corrosion resistance to the ceramic composite coating, and at least a second ceramic material phase is present in the undercoat layer in an amount sufficient to provide plasma erosion resistance to the ceramic composite coating.

The composite coatings provide erosion and corrosion resistance at processing temperatures higher than conventional processing temperatures used in the semiconductor etch industry, e.g., greater than 100° C. The coatings are useful, for example, in the protection of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, e.g., integrated circuit, light emitting diode, display, and photovoltaic, internal chamber components, and electrostatic chuck manufacture.

An information handling system's thermal management is selectively altered by coupling a thermal barrier to the bottom surface of the information handling system chassis so that an air channel insulates against the passage of thermal energy from the bottom surface. A vent opening in a side of the thermal barrier allows airflow through the air channel to a vent opening of the information handling system. The airflow through the air channel cools the base of the thermal barrier so that an end user will experience reduced thermal energy if the information handling system rests on the end user, such as in the end user's lap.
