Publication number: 20250385216Abstract: A die bonding system including a bond head assembly for bonding a die to a substrate is provided. The die includes a first plurality of fiducial markings, and the substrate includes a second plurality of fiducial markings. The die bonding system also includes an imaging system configured for simultaneously imaging one of the first plurality of fiducial markings and one of the second plurality of fiducial markings along a first optical path while the die is carried by the bond head assembly. The imaging system is also configured for simultaneously imaging another of the first plurality of fiducial markings and another of the second plurality of fiducial markings along a second optical path while the die is carried by the bond head assembly. Each of the first and second optical paths are independently configurable to image any area of the die including one of the first plurality of fiducial markings.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2025Publication date: December 18, 2025Applicant: Kulicke and Soffa Industries, Inc.Inventors: Andreas Marte, Daniel Buergi, Urban Ernst, Eirini Kakkava, Alexander Holzer, Mathias Moser, Fabian Schneider

Patent number: 12232810Abstract: An OCT system for measuring a retina as part of an eye health monitoring and diagnosis system. The OCT system includes an OCT interferometer, where the interferometer comprises a light source or measurement beam and a scanner for moving the beam on the retina of a patient's eye, and a processor configured to execute instructions to cause the scanner to move the measurement beam on the retina in a scan pattern. The scan pattern is a continuous pattern that includes a plurality of lobes. The measurement beam may be caused to move on the retina by the motion of a mirror that intercepts and redirects the measurement beam. The mirror position may be altered by the application of a drive signal to one or more actuators that respond to the drive signal by rotating the mirror about an axis or axes.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2023Date of Patent: February 25, 2025Assignee: ACUCELA INC.Inventors: Ryo Kubota, Stephan Wyder, Philip M. Buscemi, Matthias Pfister, Alexander Holzer
