Patents by Inventor Cheng-Hsien Chuang

Cheng-Hsien Chuang has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9349662
    Abstract: A method of fabricating integrated circuit devices is provided. The method includes forming a plurality of spaced integrated circuit dies on a semiconductor wafer and forming a dedicated test die on the semiconductor wafer adjacent the plurality of spaced integrated circuit dies, the dedicated test die including a test structure having a first width when viewed in a top view and being operable to generate wafer evaluation data. Further, the method includes forming a scribe line region interposed between the plurality of spaced integrated circuit dies, the scribe line region having a second width defined by a distance between adjacent integrated circuit dies when viewed in a top view, the second width being smaller than the first width, and the scribe line region being free of test structures.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 3, 2012
    Date of Patent: May 24, 2016
    Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.
    Inventors: Chuan-Ling Wu, Cheng-Hsien Chuang, Chun-Chang Chen, Wang-Pen Mo, Hung-Chang Hsieh

  • Patent number: 7860099
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for managing and setting many network devices, and the method is applied in a network management system. The network management system includes a management server and a plurality of network devices. The management server searches a network device connected to the management server and specifies one of the network devices connected to the management server as a master network device, and then searches all network devices that can be connected to the master network device. The searched network devices are set as candidate network devices and at least one candidate network device is set as a slave network device of the master network device, such that a single IP address of the master network device can be used for managing the slave network devices, and the management server can be used for managing many network devices distributed at different places.
