Abstract: An electronic component assembly having thermal pads with thermal vias coupling an image sensor and a camera board fab is provided for heat dissipation. The electronic component assembly can include: a circuit board having at least one thermal pad disposed on a top surface of the circuit board; and an image sensor disposed on the top surface of the circuit board, having at least one conductive pad disposed at at least one corner of the image sensor. The at least one thermal pad is coupled to the at least one conductive pad of the image sensor and the at least one thermal pad is formed with a plurality of first thermal vias penetrating the thermal pad and the circuit board for transfer of heat of the image sensor.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a substrate support assembly for reducing the evacuation time when using argon gas. In one embodiment, a substrate support assembly includes a porous plug within the substrate support assembly. The porous plug includes a first cylindrical section with a first volume and axial length, a second cylindrical section with a second volume and axial length. The first cylindrical section has a larger volume than the second cylindrical section. The first cylindrical section and second cylindrical section have a volume ratio between about 2 and about 12. The first cylindrical section axial length and second cylindrical section axial length have a length ratio between about 2 and about 10.

A semiconductor chamber component, includes a powered region, a grounded region, and a fluid conduit disposed within the semiconductor chamber component and passing through the powered region and grounded region, the fluid conduit comprising a ceramic material.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a substrate support assembly and apparatus for measuring the temperature of a substrate disposed on the support assembly. In one embodiment, a substrate temperature measurement apparatus includes a substrate support assembly, a probe assembly, and a probe target. The substrate support assembly includes an electrostatic chuck and one or more plates. The probe assembly within the substrate support assembly extends through one or more of the one or more plates. The probe assembly includes an optical probe sensor, an optical fiber coupled to the optical probe sensor, and an insulating sheath surrounding the optical fiber. The probe target includes a phosphor coating, is in contact with the electrostatic chuck, and is spaced from the probe assembly.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to generating image frames including a motion of a character with one or more stretchable body parts by either performing only blending of prestored animation clips or performing both the blending of prestored animation clips and performing inverse kinematics operations where one or more bones in the body parts are stretched or contracted. Choosing whether to perform blending or the inverse kinematics depends on whether predetermined conditions are satisfied or not. Prestored animation clips to be blended may be determined according to the speed of the character when performing the jumping motion. When performing the inverse kinematics, physical properties of the character are simulated to determine the trajectory of the character during the jumping.
