  • Patent number: 11338472
    Abstract: A cutting apparatus is provided. The cutting apparatus includes a processing chamber, a chuck table, a transferring mechanism, and a cleaning member. The chuck table is disposed in the processing chamber and configured to hold a workpiece on a chuck surface of the chuck table during a cutting process. The transferring mechanism is configured to transfer the workpiece to the chuck surface before the cutting process or transfer the workpiece away from the chuck surface after the cutting process. The cleaning member is disposed in the processing chamber, and is configured to move across and clean the chuck surface, driven by the transferring mechanism.

  • Patent number: 9664355
    Abstract: This invention discloses an LED lamp with an external light source, including a tube, an LED light source plate. The LED light source plate includes a strip base and a plurality of LED illuminants. The lamp has a strip through hole along the length direction of the lamp. The strip base is fixed to the external circumference surface of the lamp, the plurality of LED illuminants are placed between the two side surfaces of the strip through hole. Preferably, the lamp is a circular glass lamp, the strip through hole is on the top of the lamp. Furthermore, the inner surface of the lamp is covered with a diffusion layer. The present invention is beneficial for automatic production and reducing the cost. At the same time, the LED light has a good diffusion and the waste heat is easy to dissipate.

  • Patent number: 7781140
    Abstract: A method for removing dry film resist (DFR) from a fine pitch solder bump array on a semiconductor wafer provides for pre-soaking the wafer in a chemical bath then turbulently exposing the wafer to a chemical solution, both steps taking place in batch processing with the wafers processed in a vertical position. The wafers are then individually processed through a chemical spinning operation in which a chemical solution is dispensed from a spray nozzle while motion such as spinning is imparted the horizontally disposed wafer. The spin speed of the chemical spraying process may then be increased to accelerate physical removal of residue. Deionized water rinsing and spin-drying provide a solder bump array void of any DFR or other residuals.
