  • Patent number: 8659155
    Abstract: The mechanism of forming a metal bump structure described above resolves the delamination issues between a conductive layer on a substrate and a metal bump connected to the conductive layer. The conductive layer can be a metal pad, a post passivation interconnect (PPI) layer, or a top metal layer. By performing an in-situ deposition of a protective conductive layer over the conductive layer (or base conductive layer), the under bump metallurgy (UBM) layer of the metal bump adheres better to the conductive layer and reduces the occurrence of interfacial delamination. In some embodiments, a copper diffusion barrier sub-layer in the UBM layer can be removed. In some other embodiments, the UBM layer is not needed if the metal bump is deposited by a non-plating process and the metal bump is not made of copper.

  • Patent number: 8231289
    Abstract: A label tensioning board is provided for a label printer, including a body, at least one shaft, a resilient element, and at least one slide. The body forms a slot for rotatably accommodating the shaft. The resilient element is coupled to a proximal end of the shaft and the proximal end of the shaft is fixed to an enclosure of the label printer to allow for resilient rotation and returning of the body for adjustment of tension. The body forms at least one rail and a stop. The slide slidably engages the rail for sliding movement along the rail. The slide forms a positioning projection for setting a space between the slide and the stop that accommodate and guides the conveyance of a sheet of label paper. As such, a tensioning board featuring both adjustment of label tension and positioning of the label is provided.
