Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a method for forming an integrated chip. An alignment process is performed on a first semiconductor workpiece and a second semiconductor workpiece by virtue of a plurality of workpiece pins. The first semiconductor workpiece is bonded to the second semiconductor workpiece. A shift value is determined between the first and second semiconductor workpieces by virtue of a first plurality of alignment marks on the first semiconductor workpiece and a second plurality of alignment marks on the second semiconductor workpiece. A layer of an integrated circuit (IC) structure is formed over the second semiconductor workpiece based at least in part on the shift value.

Abstract: An intraocular pressure detecting device includes the following elements. A force-applying element is adapted to apply a force to a target surface on a cornea of an eyeball in a direction, so that the target surface is deformed. A force-sensing element, coupled to the force-applying element, is adapted to sense the force applied by the force-applying element in the direction. A displacement-sensing element, coupled to the force-applying element, is adapted to sense a displacement of the force-applying element in the direction. A processing element is electrically connected to the force-sensing element and the displacement-sensing element to obtain a relationship curve between applied force and displacement. In particular, the processing element analyzes the relationship curve to obtain a characteristic critical point, and obtains an intraocular pressure value of the eyeball according to the applied force corresponding to the characteristic critical point.

Abstract: An OCT scanning probe includes a tubular housing, at least one electrode, an optical fiber scanner and an auxiliary localization component. The electrode is disposed on an outer surface of the tubular housing. The optical fiber scanner is disposed in the tubular housing and includes an optical fiber and an optical element. The optical element is disposed on an emitting end of the optical fiber and at corresponding position to a light transmittable portion of the tubular housing. The auxiliary localization component is disposed on the tubular housing, and overlaps part of the light transmittable portion. A light beam emitted from the optical fiber scanner passes through the light transmittable portion to obtain a tomographic image. An interaction of the light beam with the auxiliary localization component causes a characteristic in the tomographic image, with the characteristic corresponding to the auxiliary localization component.

Abstract: An intraocular pressure detecting device includes a pressure generation unit, a light source, an image sensing unit and a processing unit. The pressure generation unit applies pressure to a target surface of an eyeball along a first operation axis direction, such that a deformation is generated on the target surface. The light source emits light that irradiates the target surface along a second operation axis direction, so as to generate a speckle pattern on the target surface. The image sensing unit observes and records an image variation of the speckle pattern along a third operation axis direction. The processing unit is signally connected with the image sensing unit to receive an image of the speckle pattern. The processing unit identifies and analyzes a feature size of the image of the speckle pattern for obtaining an intraocular pressure value of the eyeball. An intraocular pressure detecting method is also described.
