  • Publication number: 20240083742
    Abstract: A micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) includes a circuit substrate comprising electronic circuitry, a support substrate having a recess, a bonding layer disposed between the circuit substrate and the support substrate, through holes passing through the circuit substrate to the recess, a first conductive layer disposed on a front side of the circuit substrate, and a second conductive layer disposed on an inner wall of the recess. The first conductive layer extends into the through holes and the second conductive layer extends into the through holes and coupled to the first conductive layer.

  • Publication number: 20240087057
    Abstract: A power consumption monitoring device includes a sensor, a storage, and a processor. The sensor is configured to detect a power-consuming device quantity and a power consumption amount. The storage is configured to store the power-consuming device quantity and the power consumption amount. The processor is communicatively connected to the sensor and the storage. The processor is configured to calculate a power-consuming device idling indicator based on the power-consuming device quantity and the power consumption amount in a monitoring time interval, wherein the power-consuming device idling indicator is used for indicating a deviation status of the power-consuming device quantity and the power consumption amount. The processor is further configured to determine whether the power-consuming device idling indicator exceeds a warning threshold. In response to the power-consuming device idling indicator exceeding the warning threshold, the processor is further configured to generate a warning message.

  • Patent number: 8263495
    Abstract: A method of forming an integrated circuit structure on a wafer includes providing a first etcher comprising a first electrostatic chuck (ESC); placing the wafer on the first ESC; and forming a via opening in the wafer using the first etcher. After the step of forming the via opening, a first reverse de-chuck voltage is applied to the first ESC to release the wafer. The method further includes placing the wafer on a second ESC of a second etcher; and performing an etching step to form an additional opening in the wafer using the second etcher. After the step of forming the additional opening, a second reverse de-chuck voltage is applied to the second ESC to release the wafer. The second reverse de-chuck voltage is different from the first reverse de-chuck voltage.

  • Patent number: 8038510
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for spiral polishing with electromagnetic abrasive has adopted the principle of electromagnetic and magnetic abrasive along with a lead screw to polish the inner or outer surface of a precise screw or a complicated part. The apparatus includes a clamp, a lead screw, a first electromagnet, and a second electromagnet assembled in an airtight space, wherein the airtight space is filled with magnetic abrasive which is driven by the rotation of the lead screw and the electromagnetic function to polish a processed part in a regular shape or in an irregular shape.
