  • Patent number: 12198956
    Abstract: An apparatus, system and method for storing die carriers and transferring a semiconductor die between the die carriers. A die stocker includes a rack enclosure with an integrated sorting system. The rack enclosure includes storage cells configured to receive and store die carriers having different physical configurations. A transport system transports first and second die carriers between a first plurality of storage cells and a first sorter load port, where the transport system introduces the first and second die carriers to a first sorter. The transport system transports third and fourth die carriers between a second plurality of storage cells and a second sorter load port, where the transport system introduces the third and fourth die carriers to a second sorter. The first and second die carriers have a first physical configuration, and the third and fourth die carriers have a second physical configuration, different than the first physical configuration.

  • Patent number: 10634826
    Abstract: An image capturing device includes a main body, at least one light source, a lens, and at least one first light shielding structure. The light source disposed at the main body is suitable for providing a light beam to an outside of the main body. The lens disposed at the main body is suitable for capturing a light entering the lens from the outside of the main body. The first light shielding structure is disposed at the main body. The light beam turns into an actual output light beam after being shielded by the first light shielding structure. The first light shielding structure shields the light beam in a vertical direction more than it shields the light beam in a horizontal direction, so an actual vertical light emitting angle of the actual output light beam is smaller than an actual horizontal light emitting angle of the actual output light beam.

  • Patent number: 6991989
    Abstract: A process of forming a high-k gate dielectric layer is applied in forming semiconductor devices such as metal oxide semiconductor transistor or memory devices. A metal layer such as Hf or Zr is formed on a substrate. The substrate is then dipped in an acidic solution such as a nitric acid aqueous solution to form a high-K metal oxide layer including oxides or silicate with a predetermined thickness. Thereby, leakage current is effectively reduced to meet the requirement of currently technology nodes.
