  • Publication number: 20240361701
    Abstract: A method of inspecting an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation source includes, in an idle mode, inserting a borescope mounted on a fixture through a first opening into a chamber of the EUV radiation source. The borescope includes a connection cable attached at a first end to a camera. The EUV radiation source includes an excitation laser that generates a light beam that is configured to focus onto tin droplets to generate EUV radiation inside the chamber of the EUV radiation source. The method further includes extending the extendible section, in a direction toward the second opening of the EUV radiation source, to move the camera beyond the blocking shield, and acquiring one or more images from a region beyond the blocking shield. The method also includes analyzing the one or more acquired images to determine an amount of tin debris deposited inside the chamber of the EUV radiation source.

  • Patent number: 12066761
    Abstract: In a method of inspecting an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation source, during an idle mode, a borescope mounted on a fixture is inserted through a first opening into a chamber of the EUV radiation source. The borescope includes a connection cable attached at a first end to a camera. The fixture includes an extendible section mounted from a first side on a lead screw, and the camera of the borescope is mounted on a second side, opposite to the first side, of the extendible section. The extendible section is extended to move the camera inside the chamber of the EUV radiation source. One or more images are acquired by the camera from inside the chamber of the EUV radiation source at one or more viewing positions. The one or more acquired images are analyzed to determine an amount of tin debris deposited inside the chamber of the EUV radiation source.

  • Publication number: 20240274590
    Abstract: A method includes bonding a first device die to a second device die, encapsulating the first device die in a first encapsulant, performing a backside grinding process on the second device die to reveal through-vias in the second device die, and forming first electrical connectors on the second device die to form a package. The package includes the first device die and the second device die. The method further includes encapsulating the first package in a second encapsulant, and forming an interconnect structure overlapping the first package and the second encapsulant. The interconnect structure comprises second electrical connectors.

  • Patent number: 12063849
    Abstract: A flexible display module includes a first light-transmissive layer and a first display layer. The first light-transmissive layer includes a display surface. The first light-transmissive layer has a first width in a second direction. The first display layer is disposed below the first light-transmissive layer. The first display layer has a second width in the second direction. The first display layer includes a circuit layer. The flexible display module is configured to be bent along an axis, the axis extends along a first direction, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, and the first width is greater than the second width. A line width of the circuit layer more close to a periphery of the display surface is less than a line width of the circuit layer more close to an inner area of the display surface.

  • Patent number: 7003870
    Abstract: In an apparatus for inserting a handle part into a mold for blow molding a bottle, a pick-up unit includes a vertical backing plate, a clamping unit projecting substantially horizontally from the backing plate for clamping therebetween a portion of the handle part, and an ejector hole formed in the backing plate. A release unit is disposed at one side of the backing plate opposite to the clamping unit, and includes a plunger movable through the ejector hole for pushing the handle part away from the clamping unit.

  • Publication number: 20040130074
    Abstract: A method for blow molding a container having a container body and a handle part includes the steps of: preparing a mold including a bottom mold part having a bottom cavity and a receiving space, and an upper mold part having an upper cavity corresponding to the bottom cavity; placing the handle part into the receiving space; placing a container preform into the bottom cavity; through the upper mold part, closing the bottom mold part so that the upper cavity cooperates with the bottom cavity to define a mold cavity for blow molding the container body; and blow molding the container preform into the container body in a manner to integrate the container body with the handle part to result in the container.

  • Publication number: 20040074861
    Abstract: A bottle cap includes a cover body adapted to be sleeved on a neck of a bottle, a latch ring portion having a lower peripheral margin with a plurality of integral retaining fins extending upwardly and inwardly therefrom, and a plurality of frangible tabs for interconnecting integrally the cover body and the latch ring portion. The retaining fins have upper ends adapted to be disposed under the flange of the bottle so as to prevent removal of the cap from the neck of the bottle. Each retaining fin has a pair of inclined inner and outer side surfaces, one of which is formed with a plurality of integral reinforcing ribs that are spaced apart from one another along the circumferential direction of the latch ring portion.
