  • Publication number: 20220152289
    Abstract: An ophthalmic irrigator-aspirator has a handpiece with aspiration and irrigation openings through its distal end. A tip component connects to the handpiece and has an aspiration cannula. A flexible sleeve has an annular hub for watertight connection to the handpiece or a base portion of the tip. The sleeve has an intermediate portion that forms a channel for an irrigation fluid along the exterior of the cannula to an irrigation port in the sleeve. The distal end portion of the sleeve is sized for a watertight connection over the distal portion of the cannula. Such distal end portion of the sleeve has an aspiration port in communication with the cannula aspiration port. The sleeve proximate, intermediate, and distal portions are integral with each other and are formed of a resilient material that allows the sleeve to be tightly fitted on the handpiece or tip base portion and the cannula.

  • Patent number: 11264239
    Abstract: Techniques that can assist with fabricating a semiconductor package that includes a zero misalignment-via (ZMV) and/or a trace formed using a polarization process are described. The disclosed techniques can result in creation of ZMVs and/or traces between the ZMVs using a process comprising application of polarized light to one or more resist layers (e.g., a photoresist layer, etc.). One embodiment of a technique includes modulating an intensity of light applied to one or more resist layers by interaction of a light source with a photomask and at least one polarizer such that one or more patterns are created on the one or more resist layers. One embodiment of another technique includes creating patterns on one or more resist layers with different types of polarized light formed from a photomask and at least one polarizer. The disclosed techniques can assist with reducing manufacturing costs, reducing development time, and increasing I/O density.

  • Patent number: 11264307
    Abstract: Techniques that can assist with fabricating a package layer that includes a plurality of dual-damascene zero-misalignment-vias (dual-damascene ZMVs) and a trace between the dual-damascene ZMVs are described. The disclosed techniques allow for the dual-damascene ZMVs and their corresponding trace to be plated simultaneously in a single step or operation. As such, there is little or no misalignment between the dual-damascene ZMVs, the trace, and the metal pads connected to the ZMVs. In this way, one or more of the embodiments described herein can assist with reducing manufacturing costs, reducing development time of fabricating a package layer, and with increasing the I/O density in a semiconductor package.

  • Publication number: 20210343653
    Abstract: A foundation layer and methods of forming a conductive via are described. A die pad is formed over a die. A seed layer is deposited over the die pad and the foundation layer. A first photoresist layer is deposited over the seed layer, and the first layer is patterned to form a conductive line opening over the die pad. A conductive material is deposited into the conductive line opening to form a conductive line. A second photoresist layer is deposited over the first layer, and the second layer is patterned to form a via opening over the conductive line. The conductive material is deposited into the via opening to form the conductive via, where the conductive material only deposits on portions of exposed conductive line. The second and first layers are removed. Portions of exposed seed layer are recessed, and then a top surface of the conductive via is exposed.
