Patent number: 7772030Abstract: A method and apparatus for the decapsulation of integrated circuit packages. The apparatus includes a support member, the support member having an open region and an adjustable device coupled to the support member. The adjustable device can be adapted to hold a BGA package such that a surface region of the BGA package is spatially disposed to face a decapsulation source and a plurality of balls on the BGA package remain free from contact from the decapsulation source and free from contact from a thermal source capable of causing damage to one or more of the balls. The decapsulation source is provided to subject a portion of the surface region of the BGA package for removal of the portion of the BGA package.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2006Date of Patent: August 10, 2010Assignee: Semiconductor Manufacturing International (Shanghai) CorporationInventors: Chun Kui Ji, Shan An Liang, Zhi Rong Guo, Min Pan

Patent number: 5938909Abstract: The titled apparatus mainly comprises an outer casting member having a hollow frustum channel lined detachably by a flexible sheet, an inner casting member having an exterior lateral wall of frustum shape being placed within the sheet-lined channel of the outer casting member, a gel slab sandwiched concentrically in the space between the interior wall of the sheet-lined channel and the exterior lateral wall of the inner casting member, and a method to expose the entire gel by first slipping off the outer casting member from the flexible sheet, then peeling off the flexible sheet from the gel slab, and then taking the entire gel slab off from the inner casting member. The apparatus provides a vertical electrophoresis means for both agarose gel electrophoresis and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with the advantages of large sample capacity, higher sensitivity, short analysis time, and simple operation.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 1997Date of Patent: August 17, 1999Inventors: Rong Guo, Qi-Feng Ma
