Abstract: A photographing device for photographing an object comprises an image input unit, a signal processing unit and a control unit. In the photographing device, image data of an object generated from the image input unit are analyzed in the signal processing unit, and a status indicator that represents the image quality of the image data is displayed together with a preview image of the object depending on the analysis result in the control unit. As a result, the photographing device previously informs a user of the image quality of a preview image displayed on a screen so that the user may photograph an object in the most appropriate state, thereby preventing re-photographing because of unsatisfactory photographing results.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for forming bond pad openings through a three-layer passivation structure, which protects the semiconductor device prior to bonding and packaging. Two passivation layers are formed over a semiconductor device with bond pads formed thereon. Openings are formed through the passivation layers to expose the bond pads. The openings are then filled with a photoresist material before depositing a polyimide layer over the passivation layers. Openings are formed in the polyimide layer so as to expose the filled openings. The photoresist material in the filled openings is subsequently removed to expose the bond pads.

Abstract: A method of improving the visibility of the overlay measurement marks before overlay measurement process. The visibility of a global alignment mark is enhanced by inserting a dummy pattern around the global alignment mark so that the metrology tool can readily find it. The dummy pattern is a pattern of geometric shapes having contrasting tones, whereby a high tonal contrast is created for the global alignment mark relative to the surrounding area, which includes the overlay measurement marks and the scribe lines.
