Patents by Inventor Greg Huntzinger

Greg Huntzinger 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: 7456977
    Abstract: A wireless substrate-like sensor is provided to facilitate alignment and calibration of semiconductor processing systems. The wireless substrate-like sensor includes an optical image acquisition system that acquires one or more images of targets placed within the semiconductor processing system. Analysis of images of the targets obtained by the wireless substrate-like sensor provides position and/or orientation information in at least three degrees of freedom. An additional target is affixed to a known location within the semiconductor processing system such that imaging the reference position with the wireless substrate-like sensor allows the measurement and compensation for pick-up errors.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 15, 2006
    Date of Patent: November 25, 2008
    Assignee: CyberOptics Semiconductor, Inc.
    Inventors: Craig C. Ramsey, Jeffrey K. Lassahn, Greg Huntzinger, DelRae H. Gardner
