  • Patent number: 7399187
    Abstract: An I/O connector includes a housing, an insulating body and a plurality of terminals. The housing has a recess for receiving the insulating body. The insulating body defines fixing cavities on a bottom surface thereof and fixing grooves on a back surface thereof for receiving the terminals. The terminal has a fixing portion. One end of the fixing portion bends to form a soldering portion and the other end of the fixing portion bends sideward to form a bent portion. The end of the bent portion extends downward and separates into two elastic arms. Free ends of the two elastic arms bend toward two reverse directions respectively and then bend reversely to approach each other again to form two contact portions, whereby an opposite elasticity is generated to provide a firm engagement with a printed circuit board and to prevent transmission from cutting off while being shocked.

  • Patent number: 7035449
    Abstract: A back-end method for photomask making generally includes the steps of inspecting a photomask and repairing each defect on the photomask. The step of inspecting the photomask preferably comprises a defect finder mark implementation routine. In general, when inspecting the photomask for defects, the defect finder mark implementation routine deposits a defect finder mark on the photomask via a mark installer (not shown) included with a mask marking inspection system. Deposition of the defect finder mark includes establishing a location that is adjacent to the defect and establishing a size that is detectable by a mask repair device (not shown). By deposition on the photomask, the defect finder mark reliably facilitates location of the corresponding defect despite variations in image resolution and stage movement between the mask marking inspection system and the mask repair device.

  • Patent number: 6653029
    Abstract: The use of dual-focused ion beams for semiconductor image scanning and mask repair is disclosed. A mask is imaged with either a focused negative ion beam, such as a focused oxygen ion beam, or a focused positive ion beam, such as a focused gallium ion beam. Mask imaging is also referred to as image scanning. Defects in the mask are repaired with the ion beam not used in imaging of the mask. Also disclosed is image scanning being performed with the focused negative ion beam to neutralize potential charge buildup, and mask repair being performed with the focused positive ion beam. An apparatus is disclosed that has a negative ion mechanism supplying negative ions, a positive ion mechanism supplying positive ions, a filter to select the desired ratio of the negative to the positive ions, and an aiming mechanism to focus the ions onto the mask.
