SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Abstract of Patent Application(s)
A wafer-scale metamaterial structure and a method for forming is
provided. The metamaterial structure has a number of reticles each
having meta-atoms in which a number of dual-function meta-atoms form an
alignment mark at an interior zone of the reticle. The alignment mark
of the reticle is configured to align with a corresponding alignment
mark at an interior zone of another reticle at a lithographic divide
between the reticles that together form a metamaterial component.
Misalignment between dual-function meta-atoms of the alignment mark and
the dual-function meta-atoms of the corresponding alignment mark
creates a plurality of malformed meta-atoms at the lithographic divide
indicative of misalignment between the reticles.
Intellectual Property
U.S. Application No. 19/452,480, filed on January 19, 2026, and
entitled Methodology to Realize Wafer-Scale Metamaterials Components.
The Department of the Air Force may grant the prospective license
unless a timely objection is received that sufficiently shows the grant
of the license would be inconsistent with the Bayh-Dole Act or
implementing regulations. A competing application for a patent license
agreement, completed in compliance with 37 CFR 404.8 and received by
the Air Force within the period for timely objections, will be treated
as an objection and may be considered as an alternative to the proposed
license.
(Authority: 35 U.S.C. 209; 37 CFR 404)
