Patents by Inventor Chien-Wen Tsi

Chien-Wen Tsi has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7545038
    Abstract: A bumping process comprises forming a passivation layer having a planarized surface covering a pad on a substrate, forming a hole penetrating through the passivation layer to expose a contact surface of the pad, and forming a bump on the contact surface and planarized surface. The planarized surface will provide a larger effective area for pressing, thereby minimizing the pad, enhancing the mechanical strength at the peripheral of the pad, providing more selection flexibility for anisotropic conductive film, reducing the possibilities of short circuit and current leakage within the bump gap, and increasing the yield of the pressing process and the conductive quality of the bump.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 18, 2008
    Date of Patent: June 9, 2009
