  • Patent number: 11972957
    Abstract: A gas flow accelerator may include a body portion, and a tapered body portion including a first end integrally formed with the body portion. The gas flow accelerator may include an inlet port connected to the body portion and to receive a process gas to be removed from a semiconductor processing tool by a main pumping line. The semiconductor processing tool may include a chuck and a chuck vacuum line to apply a vacuum to the chuck to retain a semiconductor device. The tapered body portion may be configured to generate a rotational flow of the process gas to prevent buildup of processing byproduct on interior walls of the main pumping line. The gas flow accelerator may include an outlet port integrally formed with a second end of the tapered body portion. An end portion of the chuck vacuum line may be provided through the outlet port.

    Abstract: A marking method on image combined with sound signal, a terminal apparatus, and a server are provided. In the method, a first image is displayed. A selection command is detected. A target sound signal is embedded into a speech signal so as to generate a combined sound signal. The combined sound signal is transmitted. The selection command corresponds to a target region in the first image, and the selection command is generated selecting the target region through an input operation. The target sound signal corresponds to the target region of the selection command, and the speech signal is obtained by receiving sound. Accordingly, all attendants in the video conference are able to make makings on a shared screen.

  • Publication number: 20230254968
    Abstract: Voids are introduced in a copper shape to reduce warpage experienced by a printed circuit board during a reflow process. Copper shapes on an outer layer of a printed circuit board may be used to connect large packages that include ball grid arrays to the printed circuit board. The copper shapes may induce warpage in the printed circuit board during the reflow process. Routing a mesh pattern of voids in the copper shapes may reduce solder ball joint cracking and pad cratering during reflow and make solder joints more reliable. The voids may make the copper shapes less ridged and change the copper heat dissipation profile to remove sharp warpage forces that cause solder joints to experience pad cratering. The voids may be 8 mil x 8 mil cuts or indentations in the copper shape.
