  • Patent number: 11934027
    Abstract: An optical system affixed to an electronic apparatus is provided, including a first optical module, a second optical module, and a third optical module. The first optical module is configured to adjust the moving direction of a first light from a first moving direction to a second moving direction, wherein the first moving direction is not parallel to the second moving direction. The second optical module is configured to receive the first light moving in the second moving direction. The first light reaches the third optical module via the first optical module and the second optical module in sequence. The third optical module includes a first photoelectric converter configured to transform the first light into a first image signal.

  • Publication number: 20240087934
    Abstract: A method for operating a conveying system is provided. An overhead hoist transport (OHT) vehicle is provided, wherein the OHT vehicle includes a gripping member configured to grip and hold a carrier, and a receiver configured to receive a signal. The signal is transmitted to the receiver of the OHT vehicle. The OHT vehicle is moved toward the carrier, and the carrier is gripped by the gripping member of the OHT vehicle. A lifting force is determined based on a weight of a carrier, a number of workpieces in the carrier, or a vertical distance between the OHT vehicle and the carrier, and the lifting force is applied to the carrier.

  • Publication number: 20240038818
    Abstract: Some implementations described herein provide for techniques to form a biased backside deep trench isolation and grid structure for a backside illumination image sensor. The techniques include forming an array of backside deep trench isolation structures and a biasing-pad that electrically connects to the array of metal-filled backside deep trench isolation structures through the grid structure. The array of backside deep trench isolation structures, the grid structure, and the biasing-pad structure may reduce a likelihood of electrical cross-talk and/or oblique light cross-talk between the photodiodes of the backside illumination image sensor. In this way, a performance of the backside illumination image sensor may be improved. Such improvements may include a suppression of a dark current within the backside illumination image sensor, a reduction in a number of white pixels, and a reduction in cross-talk within the backside illumination image sensor.
