  • Publication number: 20220100103
    Abstract: Semiconductor processing apparatuses and methods are provided in which a semiconductor wafer is flipped and then rotated between patterning of front and back sides of the semiconductor wafer by first and second reticles, respectively. In some embodiments, a method includes patterning, by a first reticle, a first layer on a first side of a semiconductor wafer while the first side of the semiconductor wafer is facing a first direction. The semiconductor wafer is then flipped. A second side of the semiconductor wafer that is opposite the first side faces the first direction after the flipping the semiconductor wafer. The semiconductor wafer is then rotated about a rotational axis extending along the first direction, and a second layer on the second side of the semiconductor wafer is patterned by a second reticle.

  • Patent number: 10775955
    Abstract: A design application allows an end-user to define an engineering problem, and then synthesizes a spectrum of design options that solve the engineering problem. The design application then generates various tools to allow the end-user to explore that spectrum of design options. The design application allows the end-user to compare various attributes of each design option, and to filter the spectrum of design options based on those attributes. In response to end-user selections of certain design options, the design application identifies other similar design options, and then displays these design options to the end-user.

    Abstract: A light plate includes a light guide plate and four light source modules. The light source modules are disposed around the light guide plate. Each of the light source modules includes a first white light emitting element and a second white light emitting element. The first white light emitting element is capable of emitting a first white beam. The second white light emitting element disposed beside the first white light emitting element is capable of emitting a second white beam. The first white light emitting elements of the light source modules are mirror-symmetrical with respect to a first reference plane and a second reference plane. The second white light emitting elements of the light source modules are mirror-symmetrical with respect to the first reference plane and the second reference plane. The correlated color temperature (CCT) of the first white beam is greater than the CCT of the second white beam.
