  • Publication number: 20250046637
    Abstract: A device and a method for robotic arm automatic correction are disclosed. A main structure includes a robotic arm including an optical photographing mechanism, and a wafer storage mechanism at one side of the robotic arm and including a graphic data code. The optical photographing mechanism is in information connection with an optical recognition module that includes a data code analysis unit, an object distance analysis unit, and a wafer center analysis unit. A user uses the optical photographing mechanism to photograph the graphic data code for implementing a first round of position correction for the robotic arm. Then, the optical photographing mechanism photographs a wafer and performs an operation of focusing for calculation of a distance between the robotic arm and a center point of the wafer by means of the object distance analysis unit in combination with the wafer center analysis unit for a second round of correction.

  • Patent number: 11301708
    Abstract: An image sensing circuit includes a plurality of readout circuits and a pre-charge control circuit. Each of the readout circuits is coupled to a sensing line among a plurality of sensing lines and configured to receive a sensing voltage among a plurality of sensing voltages through the corresponding sensing line, wherein at least one of the readout circuits is further configured to receive at least one first pre-scan voltage through the corresponding sensing line prior to reception of the sensing voltage. The pre-charge control circuit, coupled to the readout circuits, is configured to perform a plurality of steps. The steps include receiving the at least one first pre-scan voltage from the at least one readout circuit; calculating a first pre-charge voltage according to the at least one first pre-scan voltage; and pre-charging the sensing lines to the first pre-charge voltage before the readout circuits receive the sensing voltages.
