Abstract: A structure includes a controlled polyimide profile. A method for forming such a structure includes depositing, on a substrate, a photoresist containing polyimide and performing a first anneal at a first temperature. The method further includes exposing the photoresist to a radiation source through a photomask having a pattern associated with a shape of a polyimide opening. The method further includes performing a second anneal at a second temperature and removing a portion of the photoresist to form the polyimide opening. The method further includes performing a third anneal at a third temperature and cleaning the polyimide opening by ashing.

Abstract: A vapor chamber includes a vapor chamber body, multiple dendritic wick structures and a working fluid. The vapor chamber body includes a hollow shell and a capillary wick layer covered on an inner wall of the hollow shell. Each dendritic wick structure has a capillary base and multiple capillary braches. A side of the capillary base is sintered and connected to the capillary wick layer and another side has a convex curved portion. The multiple capillary branches are extended from and formed as one piece with the convex curved portion. The working fluid is filled in the hollow shell. Thereby, the multiple capillary branches and the convex curved portion can increase cooling surface area of the dendritic wick structure to make the vapor chamber and the dendritic wick structure have great cooling efficiency.

Abstract: A bicycle derailleur includes a lower link member including a position-limiting structure, an external chain-guiding member, a damping shaft, a connection member and a C-shape spring. The external chain-guiding member, connected pivotally with the lower link member, controls a tension of a chain. The connection member is connected with the lower link member. The damping shaft, mounted at one side of the lower link member, is connected pivotally with the external chain-guiding member. The C-shape spring, sleeving the damping shaft, includes a C-clip portion and a first plate portion disposed between the connection member and the position-limiting structure. The first plate portion is extended outward from one end of the C-clip portion in a direction leaving the damping shaft. A friction force upon the external chain-guiding member in the direction to relax the chain is greater than that in the direction to relax the chain.
