  • Patent number: 11414776
    Abstract: An electrochemical processing device includes a current supply unit, a jig, and a controller. The current supply unit provides current for an electrochemical process. The jig includes a clamping region for clamping a substrate, a plurality of processing electrodes disposed in the clamping region and connected to the current supply unit, and a plurality of measuring electrodes disposed in the clamping region. The controller is connected to the plurality of measuring electrodes. When the jig clamps the substrate to perform the electrochemical process, the controller provides a measuring current to the measuring electrode to measure the thickness of the metal layer of the substrate.

  • Patent number: 10750619
    Abstract: Graphene oxide is used as an insulation barrier layer for metal deposition. After patterning and modification, the chemical characteristics of graphene oxide are induced. It can be used as the catalyst for electroless plating in the metallization process, so that the metal is only deposited on the patterned area. It provides the advantages of improving reliability and yield. The metallization structure includes a substrate, a graphene oxide catalytic layer, and a metal layer. It may be widely applied to the metallization of the fine pitch metal of a semiconductor package as well as the fine pitch wires of a printed circuit board (PCB), touch panels, displays, fine electrodes of solar cells, and so on.

  • Publication number: 20080287587
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method to prepare the polymer-clay nanocomposite latex. At first, a clay and a water-soluble initiator are mixed in water to form an intermediate solution, in which the initiator is absorbed or intercalated into the clay. Then, at least one monomer from vinyl ester, acrylic and acrylamide derivatives is added into the intermediate solution for soap-free emulsion polymerization, which may also be added with some other monomers such as acrylic acid, maleic anhydride, vinyl chloride, acrylonitrile ethylene, et al. for copolymerization. During soap-free emulsion polymerization, the radicals from the dissociated initiators will react with the monomers to form the monomer radicals, which tend to diffuse into the interlayer region of clays for further polymerization and eventually exfoliate the clays. The prepared exfoliated polymer-clay nanocomposite latex can be cast into a vapor-impermeable film so that it can be used as a sealing material or coating.
