  • Publication number: 20240418907
    Abstract: Meta-optic systems are described that include multi-function metasurfaces formed from a plurality of meta-atoms. A multi-function metasurface can exhibit two or more different optical functions for two or more different states of light incident on the metasurface. Different states of light include different polarizations, different wavelengths, and different angles of incidence. Different optical functions include distance sensing, converging, diverging, image formation, and patterned light formation. The multi-function metasurface can selectively impart different phase profiles to an incident beam depending on the incident beam's state of light.

  • Patent number: 12158493
    Abstract: A wafer inspection system includes probe and supporting devices opposite to each other. The probe device includes a probe and an electrically conductive module for transmitting test signal of a driver IC. The supporting device includes a chuck, an annular elastic module detachably disposed on the chuck, and a carrier. The chuck has a supporting portion located correspondingly to a hollow portion of the annular elastic module, which is larger than or equal to the carrier in size on an imaginary horizontal plane, enabling the carrier carrying a wafer to be placed on the supporting portion to be electrically connected with the annular elastic module. When the wafer is contacted by the probe, the electrically conductive module is abutted against the annular elastic module to form a short-path test loop. As a result, it is convenient to pick and place the carrier and wafer, enhancing inspection efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20240333889
    Abstract: An optical pattern projection device includes a light emitter or light emitter array and one or more flat optics layers configured to project and split light beams from the light emitters to generate a projected light pattern including multiple sub-patterns each corresponding to one of the light emitters. The flat optics layers may include a single optical metasurface containing superposed beam shaping and/or projection phase profile and a beam splitting phase profile. Alternatively, the flat optics layers may include two optical metasurfaces each containing a light shaping and/or projection phase profile, which together produce a linear relationship between light emitter position and corresponding beam projection angle, and one or both of the metasurfaces further contains a superposed beam splitting phase profile. The light shaping and/or projection phase profile may have a function similar to a micro-lens array. A structured light camera combining optical pattern projection and detection is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20240160028
    Abstract: System for free-space light coupling between 2-dimensional light transmitter and receiver arrays using flat optics. The system includes: a transmitter array configured to emit one or more light beams; a first flat optic configured to receive the light beams from the transmitter array and generate one or more intermediate light beams; a first spacer disposed between the light transmitter array and the first flat optic; a receiver array; a second flat optic configured to receive the intermediate light beams and generate one or more output light beams toward the receiver array; and a second spacer disposed between the second flat optic and the light receiver array. The TX and RX portions of the light coupling system may be used in LiDAR systems as the light emitter (beam steerer) and detector, respectively. The flat optics are configured to provide a wide field of view for the LiDAR.

  • Patent number: 11781904
    Abstract: A chip chuck includes front and back slopes obliquely extending toward a bottom surface from front and back edges of a top surface having a chip placement area for supporting a chip under test, and is defined with an imaginary vertical reference line perpendicular to the chip placement area and an imaginary horizontal reference line. The front and back slopes are connected with the chip placement area and each provided with an included acute angle with respect to the imaginary horizontal reference line, thereby avoiding interference with light emitted from the chip. A chip supporting device includes a chip chuck, and an optical sensing module fixed relative thereto and including an optical sensor whose light receiving surface faces toward a back light emitting surface of the chip, thereby enabling optical characteristic inspection of front and back light emitting surfaces of the chip at the same time.

  • Patent number: 11656271
    Abstract: A wafer inspection system includes a supporting device having electrically connected supporting and contact portions for supporting a wafer's back, and a probe device having a probe and elastic contact members. When a probe tip of the probe contacts the wafer's front, a contact tip of the elastic contact member is abutted against a contact surface of the contact portion. The contact tip is higher than the probe tip. The contact surface is higher than the wafer's front. Alternatively, the contact surface having a radius larger than or equal to twice the wafer's radius. The horizontal distance between the probe tip and the contact tip is larger than or equal to twice the wafer's radius. This satisfies the test requirement of short-pulse test signal and prevents the structural design and transmitting stability of the elastic contact members from being affected by the inspection temperature.
