  • Publication number: 20240145370
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a first region and a second region, and the second region surrounds the first region. The semiconductor device includes at least one electronic unit, a redistribution structure, a plurality of first pads, and a plurality of second pads. The redistribution structure may be electrically connected to at least one electronic unit. A plurality of first pads are arranged on the redistribution structure and correspondingly to the first region. There is a first pitch between two adjacent first pads. A plurality of second pads are arranged on the redistribution structure and correspondingly to the second region. There is a second pitch between two adjacent second pads, so that the first pitch is smaller than the second pitch.

  • Patent number: 11961770
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a processing tool. The tool includes a housing enclosing a processing chamber, and an input/output port configured to pass a wafer through the housing into and out of the processing chamber. A back-side macro-inspection system is arranged within the processing chamber and is configured to image a back side of the wafer. A front-side macro-inspection system is arranged within the processing chamber and is configured to image a front side of the wafer according to a first image resolution. A front-side micro-inspection system is arranged within the processing chamber and is configured to image the front side of the wafer according to a second image resolution which is higher than the first image resolution.

  • Patent number: 11953877
    Abstract: Manufacturing of a shoe or a portion of a shoe is enhanced by executing various shoe-manufacturing processes in an automated fashion. For example, information describing a shoe part may be determined, such as an identification, an orientation, a color, a surface topography, an alignment, a size, etc. Based on the information describing the shoe part, automated shoe-manufacturing apparatuses may be instructed to apply various shoe-manufacturing processes to the shoe part, such as a pickup and placement of the shoe part with a pickup tool.
