  • Patent number: 7463391
    Abstract: A focus adjusting device (50) for an image sensor (1) is provided for ensuring precise focusing of the image sensor. The focus adjusting device includes a contact element (51) in direct contact with the bottom of a scanner cover plate, a focus varying element (53) engaging with the contact element, and a focus fine adjusting element (55) movably mounted on a housing of the image sensor.

  • Patent number: 7127317
    Abstract: The present invention provides an Intelligent Engineering Data Analysis (I-EDA) system and method to help prevent low wafer yield and prevent occurrences of abnormal events. The I-EDA has a non-conforming wafer tracing (NCWT) system that operates to correlate occurrences of abnormal events with low wafer yield. The method generally has the steps of performing a fabrication operation on wafers disposed within a wafer lot; determining if an abnormal event occurred while performing the fabrication operation on the wafers disposed within the wafer lot; using a NCWT to determine a statistical correlation between an occurrence of an abnormal event and a wafer yield of the wafers being processed during the occurrence of the abnormal event if the abnormal event occurred during processing of the wafers disposed within the wafer lot; and using the determined statistical correlation to analyze the fabrication process and thereby improve wafer yield.
