Publication number: 20240418907Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2022Publication date: December 19, 2024Applicant: Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Juejun Hu, Tian GU, Fan YANG, Sensong AN, Hung-I LIN

Patent number: 12158493Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2023Date of Patent: December 3, 2024Assignee: MPI CORPORATIONInventors: Yi-Hsuan Cheng, Hung-I Lin, Po-Han Peng

Publication number: 20240333889Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2024Publication date: October 3, 2024Applicant: 2Pi Inc.Inventors: Tian Gu, Juejun Hu, Xiaochen Sun, Hung-I Lin, Fan Yang

Patent number: 11656271Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2022Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: MPI CORPORATIONInventors: Yi-Hsuan Cheng, Hung-I Lin, Po-Han Peng
