  • 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: 11935871
    Abstract: A semiconductor package including a first semiconductor die, a second semiconductor die, a first insulating encapsulation, a dielectric layer structure, a conductor structure and a second insulating encapsulation is provided. The first semiconductor die includes a first semiconductor substrate and a through silicon via (TSV) extending from a first side to a second side of the semiconductor substrate. The second semiconductor die is disposed on the first side of the semiconductor substrate. The first insulating encapsulation on the second semiconductor die encapsulates the first semiconductor die. A terminal of the TSV is coplanar with a surface of the first insulating encapsulation. The dielectric layer structure covers the first semiconductor die and the first insulating encapsulation. The conductor structure extends through the dielectric layer structure and contacts with the through silicon via.

  • Patent number: 10032580
    Abstract: A device for inputting commands includes a casing, a rotatable disk, and a processor. The rotatable disk can rotate relative to the casing, and has a plurality of input modes. The rotatable disk includes a switch button for switching among the input modes. The rotatable disk further includes a pointer. The casing includes an annular area surrounding the rotatable disk. The annular area has a plurality of input positions. The input positions correspond to characters of one character set corresponding to the current input mode. The processor is received in the casing, and can generate a command or control signal according to a character corresponding to an input position when the pointer is aligned with the input position.
