Abstract: A functional patch for use with a contact lens includes an attaching layer and a functional patterned layer. The contact lens and the attaching layer are made of different hydrophilic materials to present two net-like structures respectively contain a plurality of first pores and second pores, and the second pores have pore size smaller than that of the first pores. The attaching layer is adsorbable to and detachable from the contact lens. A part of the functional patterned layer permeates into the second pores and the remaining part of the functional patterned layer is cured on the surface of the attaching layer. The attaching layer has closely arranged molecular chain blocks to form net-like structure having relatively small pore size. Therefore, only a limited amount of the material molecules of the functional patterned layer is permeated into the second pores, allowing the functional patterned layer to have a smooth surface.

Abstract: Methods and systems for improving fusion bonding are disclosed. Plasma treatment is performed on a substrate prior to the fusion bonding, which leaves residual charge on the substrate to be fusion bonded. The residual charge is usually dissipated through an electrically conductive silicone cushion on a loading pin. In the methods, the amount of residual voltage on a test silicon wafer is measured. If the residual voltage is too high, this indicates the usable lifetime of the silicone cushion has passed, and the electrically conductive silicone cushion is replaced. This ensures the continued dissipation of residual charge during use in production, improving the quality of fusion bonds between substrates.
