  • Patent number: 10345373
    Abstract: A method for inspecting a semiconductor device structure is provided. The method includes receiving a semiconductor device structure having a to-be-inspected feature. The semiconductor device structure has a first surface and a second surface. The method also includes applying a polymer-containing solution over the first surface of the semiconductor device structure. The method further includes disposing a transparent substrate over the first surface of the semiconductor device structure and the polymer-containing solution. In addition, the method includes irradiating the polymer-containing solution with a light to form an adhesive layer between the transparent substrate and the semiconductor device structure. The adhesive layer bonds the transparent substrate and the semiconductor device structure. The method also includes inspecting the to-be-inspected feature.

  • Patent number: 9571290
    Abstract: A network coupling device includes a transformer module for transmitting a network signal from a network system, and a power processing module coupled to the transformer module and configured to transmit a direct current power signal from the network system. The transformer module and the power processing module satisfy a relation |ZT?ZT+L|?0.25ZT where ZT is an impedance of the transformer module when disconnected from the power processing module, and ZT+L is an effective impedance of the transformer module with the power processing module connected thereto.
