  • Method of forming a resist pattern and fabricating tapered features
    Patent number: 6900141
    Abstract: A resist pattern for fabricating a microelectronic device is irradiated with an energy beam, raising the glass transition temperature of the upper parts of the resist pattern, then baked, causing a transition to a glassy state in lower parts of the resist pattern, which flow viscously so that the resist pattern assumes a tapered cross sectional shape. When this tapered resist pattern is used as an etching mask, tapered features can be formed in the device. In particular, tapered contact holes can be formed, providing an increased alignment tolerance and enabling the size of the device to be reduced.

  • Driving device for scanning module
    Patent number: 6897986
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a driving device for a scanning module. An active gear wheel and a passive gear wheel are disposed respectively on two rigid frames. These two rigid frames are connected by a rigid component to avoid relative displacement between the two wheels due to external force or change of temperature. A spring is disposed on the rigid component to adjust the position of the passive gear wheel while the active gear wheel stays still. It allows the driving belt to automatically offset the strain according to its fatigue condition. The rigid component of the present invention may also be adopted as a guiding track for the scanning module.

  • Front-opening unified pod auto-loading structure
    Patent number: 6896470
    Abstract: The invention includes mainly a machine base, a carrier, a sliding control mechanism, a latch mechanism, a horizontal shifting mechanism, and a lifting mechanism. The FOUP (front-opening unified pod) is put on the carrier and latched by a locking plate of the latch at an accurate position. The carrier moves forwardly to tightly engage the FOUP to a gate on an access at a backboard of the machine base, and thus a cover of the FOUP is opened by a headstock gear at the back of the gate then carried backwardly away from the FOUP by the horizontal shifting mechanism and lowered by the lifting mechanism. Reversely, the cover is closed on the FOUP. As such, the cover is loaded and opened automatically, as well as in closed, which can be a part of automation and prevents wafers from contamination.
