Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a method of manufacturing one or more needles of a probe card by refining and processing a conductive body that extends from the probe card to form a respective tip at the end of the respective conductive body. Forming the respective tip of a respective needle includes removing respective portions from the end of the conductive body by flowing an electrolytic fluid between a conductive pattern structure and an end of the respective conductive body. Removing the respective portions with the flow of the electrons may be performed in multiple successive steps to form various needles with various sizes, shapes, and profiles (e.g., cylindrical, rectangular, triangular, trapezoidal, etc.).

Abstract: A rotary cable arranging tool is disclosed. The rotary cable arranging tool is used for untwisting a first and a second cable. The rotary cable arranging tool includes a first annular structure, a first and a second assembly member, and a first and a second hole. The first and the second holes are assembled by the cooperation of the first and the second assemblies so as to be pressed to change a width of an inner diameter. When the first and second cables are in a twisted state, the first and second assemblies are counter-rotated together, so that the first and the second cables are untwisted and enter the first and second holes respectively. Then the first and second holes are tightly combined with the first and second cables, and the first and the second cable are pulled out to be straightened.

The cleaning unit provides a second fluid, wherein when the fluid supply unit is in the first position, the fluid supply unit provides the first fluid toward the wafer, and when the fluid supply unit is in the second position, the cleaning unit blows the second fluid toward a surface of the fluid supply unit to clean the surface thereof.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for visualization of process conditions in a process chamber or chambers, particularly during the fabrication of integrated circuits on substrates in the process chambers. The apparatus includes an inspection chamber which is installed adjacent to a process chamber. A camera provided in the inspection chamber is used to view the interior of the process chamber as the etching, chemical vapor deposition or other process is carried out in the process chamber. A video monitor is typically connected to the camera for viewing images from the camera. In the event that a defect-precipitating event occurs in the process chamber, such as a mechanical malfunction or accumulation of excessive levels of polymer deposition on the chamber walls, the event is displayed on the monitor in real-time.
