  • Hot spot identification, inspection, and review
    Patent number: 9330987
    Abstract: A method for identifying, inspecting, and reviewing all hot spots on a specimen is disclosed by using at least one SORIL e-beam tool. A full die on a semiconductor wafer is scanned by using a first identification recipe to obtain a full die image of that die and then design layout data is aligned and compared with the full die image to identify hot spots on the full die. Threshold levels used to identify hot spots can be varied and depend on the background environments close thereto, materials of the specimens, defect types, and design layout data. A second recipe is used to selectively inspect locations of all hot spots to identify killers, and then killers can be reviewed with a third recipe.

  • Test probe card structure
    Patent number: 9279853
    Abstract: A test probe card structure includes a probe card and a connection circuit common plate. The probe card includes a probe substrate, A test circuit board is disposed between the probe substrate and the connection circuit common plate, The test circuit board has a lest circuit connection section attached to and electrically connected with a common circuit adaptation section of the connection circuit common plate. A circuit extension section is formed around the connection circuit common plate, which is all-channel electrically connectable between a tester and the teat circuit connection section. The connection circuit common plate serves to provide an all-channel test circuit convergence connection ability for the test circuit board so as to greatly minify the size of the test circuit board and lower the manufacturing cost of the probe card.

  • Method and system for measuring critical dimension and monitoring fabrication uniformity
    Patent number: 9282293
    Abstract: A method for measuring critical dimension (CD) includes steps of: scanning at least one area of interest of a die to obtain at least one scanned image; aligning the scanned image to at least one designed layout pattern to identify a plurality of borders within the scanned image; and averaging distances each measured from the border or the plurality of borders of a pattern associated with a specific type of CD corresponding to the designed layout pattern to obtain a value of CD of the die. The value of critical dimensions of dies can be obtained from the scanned image with lower resolution which is obtained by relatively higher scanning speed, so the above-mentioned method can obtain value of CD for every die within entire wafer to monitor the uniformity of the semiconductor manufacturing process within an acceptable inspection time.

  • Sealing disc for induction sealing of a container
    Patent number: 9156584
    Abstract: A sealing disc for closing mouths of containers has a foil for inductively introducing heat into the sealing disc. The sealing disc has an edge region. A sealing layer is provided on the side of the foil that is to face the interior of the container, for sealing tight the edge region of the sealing disc on the mouth of the container. One or more layers are located on the side of the foil that is remote from the sealing layer. Further, a hand grip is formed as part of the sealing disc and serves to open the mouth of the container that is closed by the sealing disc. On the side that is remote from the sealing layer, the layer or layers are provided with weakening lines for forming an outline of the hand grip. The weakening lines lead into the edge region of the sealing disc.
