Patent number: 11931855Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to planarization of surfaces on substrates and on layers formed on substrates. More specifically, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to planarization of surfaces on substrates for advanced packaging applications, such as surfaces of polymeric material layers. In one implementation, the method includes mechanically grinding a substrate surface against a polishing surface in the presence of a grinding slurry during a first polishing process to remove a portion of a material formed on the substrate; and then chemically mechanically polishing the substrate surface against the polishing surface in the presence of a polishing slurry during a second polishing process to reduce any roughness or unevenness caused by the first polishing process.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Applied Materials, Inc.Inventors: Han-Wen Chen, Steven Verhaverbeke, Tapash Chakraborty, Prayudi Lianto, Prerna Sonthalia Goradia, Giback Park, Chintan Buch, Pin Gian Gan, Alex Hung

Patent number: 7903104Abstract: A spatial light modulator having two static random access memory (SRAM) devices, including a display controller configured with a display sequence, the display sequence including a first display slice and a second display slice, the first display slice having a display time less than two times a minimum time period determined by the time of a write event, and the second display slice having a display time of more than two times the minimum time period. The controller controls write events from the two SRAM devices, and the first display slice and second display slice are ordered in the display sequence so that the controller causes the spatial light modulator to output light and causes the two SRAM devices each to perform a write event during the second display slice.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2007Date of Patent: March 8, 2011Assignee: Spatial Photonics, Inc.Inventors: Chih-Liang Chen, Alex Hung-Pin Sun

Publication number: 20070232987Abstract: A one-hand-operated ultrasound transducer and method for delivering a controlled and uniform distribution of a sterile or a non-sterile topical reagent to skin for use in diagnostic, therapeutic, and aesthetic therapies. The transducer includes a head, a cartridge, and feeding apparatus for feeding contents of the cartridge out of the head. The cartridge is removably disposed in the head and delivers the controlled and uniform distribution of the sterile or the non-sterile topical reagent to the skin for use in the diagnostic, therapeutic, and aesthetic therapies.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2007Publication date: October 4, 2007Inventors: Vicente Diaz, Ivonne Diaz, Alex Merkulov, Steven Milo, Alex Hung, Tom Naparst

Patent number: 6616758Abstract: A rotatable cover plate assembly (10) has a cavity (13) and a rotatable base plate assembly (12) has a cavity (42) with a semiconductor wafer (14) mounted therein. The cover plate assembly (10) comes down onto the base plate assembly (12) enclosing the semiconductor wafer (14) and a dispenser (28) in a chamber formed by the cavities (13) and (42). The cover and base plates (16) and (40) are rotated as a single assembly, and coating material dispensed by the dispenser (28) onto the semiconductor wafer (14). A flow regulator (25) coupled via an exhaust manifold (20) controls the rate of evaporate of solvent from the dispensed coating material.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2001Date of Patent: September 9, 2003Assignee: Techpoint Pacific (S) PTE LTDInventors: Ching-Chang Alex Hung, Lotar Peter Mahneke, Ying-Yi Chen

Patent number: 6248670Abstract: An apparatus for wet processing of substrates in a controlled environment. It is a single-substrate processing apparatus which is capable of carrying out etching, rinsing, and drying processes all in a single apparatus and in a controlled environment. A closed processing chamber is provided for processing a substrate in a closed environment. Processing liquids and gases are introduced into the chamber and the chamber is rotated with the substrate. Temperature inside the chamber is controlled by heating the gases. Humidity is controlled by varying the proportion of water vapor. The rotation of the chamber with the substrate creates a stable environment where processing parameters are more easily controlled.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2000Date of Patent: June 19, 2001Assignee: Techpoint Pacific Singapore PTE. Ltd.Inventors: Ching-Chang Alex Hung, Ta-Hsing Fu

Patent number: 6111986Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating addresses. The present invention provides for fast generation of a series of addresses in an array where the series comprises a column or diagonal of the array, such as for layered ECC code words in CD-ROM. Whereas each address is computable individually using multipliers and modulo circuits, the present invention operates on the series of addresses as a whole, forming a dependence between successive addresses. The dependence is separated into multiple address indices that may be summed together for the desired address. The present invention is thus able to generate a series of addresses by accumulation processes requiring only selection of the appropriate increment value and addition to a previously stored address index value. Address generation throughput is increased with savings in layout area and power.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 1999Date of Patent: August 29, 2000Assignee: Adaptec, Inc.Inventor: Alex Hung-Pin Sun
