  • Patent number: 8559280
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for data recording of an optical disk drive. First, raw data is encoded to obtain a plurality of recording units of encoded data to be stored in a memory. The encoded data stored in the memory is then recorded to an optical disk. A predetermined number of recording units of the encoded data is then reserved in the memory as reserved data without being recorded onto the optical disk. The recorded data read from the optical disk is then compared to the corresponding encoded data stored in the memory to verify correctness of the recorded data. The reserved data is then recorded to the optical disk after correctness verification of the recorded data is completed. Finally, the aforementioned steps are repeated until there is no more raw data left as a source for encoding.

  • Publication number: 20090096462
    Abstract: A wafer testing method for wafer testing system comprises the steps: loading a wafer and then positioning the wafer relatively to a map file image stored in a map file. The map file is of a first file type. The next step is inspecting the appearance of the wafer. When the user detects defects on the wafer, the positions of the defects are directly recorded in the map file and then the modified map file is saved. The map file can be directly modified when the wafer is in the testing procedure so that the testing time is reduced. Furthermore, the precision of the testing is improved.
