  • Patent number: 8134708
    Abstract: A method of measuring a numerical aperture of an exposure machine is described. A control wafer having vernier marks thereon and an aberration mask having pinholes therein are provided, wherein each pinhole corresponds to a vernier mark in position. A lithography process using the exposure machine and the aberration mask is performed to the control wafer, so as to form over each vernier mark a photoresist pattern having the same shape of the illumination pattern of the light source of the exposure machine. The numerical aperture of the exposure machine is then derived from a graduation of the vernier mark corresponding to an outer edge of the photoresist pattern.

  • Patent number: 8077394
    Abstract: A glass lens array module with alignment fixture and a manufacturing method thereof are revealed. A glass lens array is produced by multi-cavity glass molding and alignment members are arranged on a peripheral of non-optical area of the glass lens array. Optical axis of each of two adjacent glass lens arrays is aligned by corresponding alignment members and the glass lens arrays are assembled by glue. A spacer is disposed between the two adjacent glass lens arrays to form a preset interval if needed. Thus a glass lens array module is formed after curing of the glue. Thereby the alignment of the optical axis of the glass lens is achieved easily and optical precision is also attained. Moreover, the manufacturing processes are simplified and the cost is reduced.

  • Patent number: 7869283
    Abstract: A method for determining native threshold voltage of nonvolatile memory includes following steps. A memory cell including a control gate, a charge storage layer, a source region, and a drain region is provided. A programming operation is performed on the memory cell by using F-N tunneling effect to obtain a programming curve of time versus threshold voltage. In the programming operation, a positive voltage is applied to the control gate. An erase operation is performed on the memory cell by using F-N tunneling effect to obtain an erasure curve of time versus threshold voltage. In the erase operation, a negative voltage is applied to the control gate. The absolute values of the positive voltage and the negative voltage are the same. The native threshold voltage of memory cell is determined from the cross point of the programming curve and the erasure curve.
