  • Patent number: 7465601
    Abstract: A method of forming a suspended structure is disclosed. Initially, a substrate is provided. A patterned first sacrificial layer and a patterned second sacrificial layer are formed on a front surface of the substrate. The second sacrificial layer has an opening exposing a part of the substrate and a part of the first sacrificial layer. A structural layer is formed covering the abovementioned sacrificial layers. Thereafter, a lift-off process is performed to remove the second sacrificial layer and define the pattern of the structural layer. A first etching process is performed on a back surface of the substrate utilizing the first sacrificial layer as an etching barrier and a through hole is formed under the first sacrificial layer. A second etching layer is performed to remove the first sacrificial layer and a suspended structure is thereby formed.

  • Publication number: 20080291451
    Abstract: The present invention is a method of selecting composite sheet materials for use in ultra-fast laser patterning of layers of organic thin film material such as OLEDs. The material is selected to accomplish patterning of upper layers without damaging underlying layers by using an ultra-fast laser programmed with the appropriate laser processing parameters. These parameters are derived by examining each layer's absorption spectra, thermal, and chemical characteristics. The method of the present invention includes measuring each layer's absorption spectrum, examining each layer's thermal and chemical characteristics, determining if the layer is ablatable, determining the laser setup, patterning the layer through laser ablation processing, and determining if more layers need to be ablated. Further, the method includes a sub-method of selecting an alternate material if a layer's material characteristics are not favorable for ablation without damaging underlying layers.

  • Patent number: 7410835
    Abstract: A short-prevented lead frame and a method for fabricating a semiconductor package with the lead frame are proposed, wherein each lead of the lead frame is formed with a thickness-reduced portion at a peripheral position of the lead frame, allowing thickness-reduced portions of adjacent leads to be arranged in a stagger manner. This stagger arrangement significantly increases pitches between the neighboring thickness-reduced portions of leads. Therefore, during a singulation process as to cut through the leads, lead bridging and short-circuiting between adjacent leads caused by cut-side burrs can be prevented from occurrence, whereby singulation quality and product yield and reliability are effectively improved.

  • Publication number: 20080105993
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of an artificial strip for imitated rattan furniture is completed by steps of: inputting polyester plastic material with one color or two colors into at least one plastic extruder; thermal-melting the polyester plastic material to pour into a shaping molds, extruding the melted polyester plastic material in form of a continuous geometry strip so that the strip has at least one color on its surface; cooling the strip; twisting the strip to perform spiral wavy surface to enhance vivid appearance. Lastly, the strip is reeled up to achieve an annular bundle. Thereby, the artificial strip has a verisimilitude texture approximately like the natural willow or rattan strips to make the manufactured imitated rattan/willow furniture have excellent appearance. A device system carries out the manufacturing method is also disclosed in this invention.

  • Patent number: 7323657
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a microstructure device using a near field scanning optical microscope (NSOM) laser micromachining system. A microstructure device preform, including an existing feature, is provided. The NSOM probe tip is scanned over a portion of the preform selected such that a plurality of scan lines cross the existing feature. Scanned locations of the existing feature in at least two scan lines are determined. The orientation of the existing feature is determined based on the scanned locations and the shape of the existing feature. At least one expected machining location in a subsequent scan line is determined based on the shape and orientation of the existing feature. The micro-machining laser is pulsed as the NSOM probe is scanned through the expected machining location(s) during the subsequent scan lines to form at least one fine feature on the microstructure device preform, thus, completing the microstructure device.

  • Publication number: 20070229853
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the distance between the tip of a machining tool formed of a substantially transmissive material and a surface. A beam of narrow bandwidth light is diffracted by directing the beam of narrow bandwidth light between the surface and the tip of the machining tool such that a portion of the diffracted beam is optically coupled into the machining tool via near-field optically coupling. The power of the portion of the diffracted beam optically coupled into the machining tool is measured. The distance between the tip of the machining tool and the surface is then determined based on the measured power.

  • Patent number: 7265840
    Abstract: A method for determining an improved alignment to couple a beam having a high power level into a waveguide. The power of the beam is reduced to a minimum test power level. The reduced-power beam is aligned in a test alignment such that it forms a beam spot on the coupling surface of the waveguide. The coupled power level of the coupled portion of the beam is measured. The power level of the reduced-power beam is increased in steps to a maximum test power level. Corresponding coupled power levels for each power level are measured. If the coupled power level does not saturate and the corresponding coupling efficiency is greater than or equal to the desired coupling efficiency, the current test alignment is determined to be the improved alignment. Otherwise, the test alignment is changed and the new test alignment is tested to see whether it meets the desired standards.
