  • Patent number: 5906871
    Abstract: A latent image comprising a first substance formed on a substrate of a second substance having a surface tension different from a surface tension of the first substance, the first substance and the substrate having a difference of 0.1 to 100 nm in height from each other. The latent image is formed by a method comprising the-step of subjecting a substrate of a first substance to a chemical treatment or a physical treatment to form a surface of a second substance which has a surface tension different from a surface tension of the first substance and has a difference of 0.1 to 100 nm in height from the substrate on part of the substrate. The latent image is developed by a method comprising the steps of contacting a latent image comprising a first substance formed on a substrate of a second substance having a surface tension different from a surface tension of the first substance with a third substance different from the first substance and the second substance, and applying a developing ray to the latent image.

  • Patent number: 5522713
    Abstract: A direct drive electro-mechanical press for encapsulating semiconductor devices has at least a clamping axis and a transfer axis. The clamping axis has a planetary roller screw coupled to a tie bar platen assembly on which at least one top mold is mounted. A two-speed gearbox is further coupled to the clamping axis for switching between a high speed mode and a high torque mode along the clamping axis. The two-speed gearbox has a high speed clutch coupled to a speed reducer and a high torque clutch respectively. The transfer axis is slidably located above the clamping axis; the transfer axis has another planetary roller screw coupled to a bottom platen on which at least one bottom mold is mounted. The transfer axis transfers the molding resin from the pot into the cavities formed when the top and bottom molds are clamped together.
