  • Publication number: 20250087625
    Abstract: A zone heater assembly of a reflow solder tool includes a gas deflector having a single-layer structure. The single-layer structure may include one or more gas-permeating patterns through which a process gas is to flow from one or more gas outlets to a gas exhaust of the zone heater assembly. The one or more gas-permeating patterns in the single-layer structure promote uniformity of gas flow through the gas exhaust and into a heating zone of the reflow solder tool. The uniformity of the gas flow of the process gas enables convection heat provided by the process gas to be uniformly distributed across the heating zone. In this way, the gas deflector described herein may decrease hot spots and/or cold spots in the heating zone, which enables greater flexibility in placement of semiconductor package substrates on a conveyor device of the reflow solder tool.

  • Publication number: 20250053611
    Abstract: Embodiment described herein provide systems, apparatuses and methods for convoluting a filter (“kernel”) to input data in the form of an input array by reusing computations of repeated data entries in the input array due to convolution movements from one convolution step to the next. In one embodiment, to compute a convolution of an input matrix and a filter matrix, instead of unrolling data entries from the input matrix of each convolution step into an input vector, only non-repeated new data entries at each convolution step may be added to the input vector. An input mapping circuit that implements an input parameter mapping matrix may then iteratively map data entries of the input vector to different weight registers that corresponds to weights in the filter matrix.
