  • Patent number: 9632134
    Abstract: A wafer is probed using a probe card including a plurality of probing sites following a first probing map in which touchdowns of the probe card involve the plurality of probing sites to identify faulty locations. Whether at least one faulty site exists is determined based on the faulty locations. When the at least one faulty site exists, a second probing map in which each touchdown is free of at least one disabled probing site including the at least one faulty site is obtained. The second probing map is selected when a first criterion formed using a first touchdown count (TDC) in the first probing map, a second TDC in the second probing map, a third TDC based on re-probing the faulty locations and a fourth TDC based on re-probing a portion of the faulty locations not induced by the at least one faulty site is met.

  • Publication number: 20100071754
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of electrode of solar cell panel of the present invention comprises steps of providing a semiconductor substrate with an antireflection layer/a dielectric layer and a first metal layer in sequence, forming a first metal layer on the antireflection layer, projecting a pattern on the first metal layer by a laser beam to form a metal silicide on the semiconductor substrate in accordance with the outline of the pattern, removing the first metal layer by a chosen solution, forming a first electrode connecting to the metal silicide and exposed to a surface of the antireflection layer; and forming a second electrode on a surface of the semiconductor substrate opposite to the antireflection layer.

  • Patent number: 7598157
    Abstract: A wafer stacked on a mounting layer is safely diced. The mounting layer has holes partially corresponding to chips on the wafer. Thus, chips obtained after dicing the wafer can be safely removed from the mounting tape. An amount of the mounting tape used can be reduced. And a production cost can be lowered as well.

  • Patent number: 7562922
    Abstract: A wafer clamp according to the present invention always firmly clamps a wafer. A supporting arm of the wafer clamp will be replaced with a different one according to the wafer size. Moreover, with a larger area of the supporting arm, a wear resistance and a smoothness of the wafer is improved. Besides, the wafer clamp stops the wafer from slipping. Hence, the present invention has a simple structure, a good practicality and a wide application.
