  • Patent number: 11929334
    Abstract: A method of making a semiconductor device involves the steps of disposing a first semiconductor die over a substrate and disposing a beam homogenizer over the first semiconductor die. A beam from the beam homogenizer impacts the first semiconductor die. The method further includes the steps of determining a positional offset of the beam relative to the first semiconductor die in a number of pixels, using a first calibration equation to convert the number of pixels into a distance in millimeters, and moving the beam homogenizer the distance in millimeters to align the beam and first semiconductor die.

  • Patent number: 10845639
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a display device for increasing the transmittance of R, G, and B sub-pixels and reducing a transmittance of W sub-pixel through a pixel asymmetric design. To this end, the display device has a pixel asymmetric structure in which W sub-pixel has a different area from R, G and B sub-pixels. As a result, as the display device has an asymmetric structure in which the areas of W, R, G, and B sub-pixels are different from one another, particularly, an asymmetric structure in which the area of W sub-pixel is reduced and the area of R sub-pixel is increased. Such design has a structural advantage that the transmittance of R, G, and B sub-pixels can be increased and the transmittance of W sub-pixel can be lowered so that it is possible to correspond the product specifications in various ways.

  • Patent number: 10635208
    Abstract: A display panel is provided having a built-in touchscreen and a touch display device including the same. The display panel has a touch electrode structure allowing parasitic capacitance to be dispersed to a greater number of gate lines, which form parasitic capacitance together with touch electrodes, without concentrically relying on specific gate lines. Differences in load between gate lines are reduced to improve image quality.

  • Patent number: 9125332
    Abstract: A semiconductor package includes a semiconductor die with a plurality of solder bumps formed on bump pads. A substrate has a plurality of contact pads each with an exposed sidewall. A solder resist is disposed opening over at least a portion of each contact pad. The solder bumps are reflowed to metallurgically and electrically connect to the contact pads. Each contact pad is sized according to a design rule defined by SRO+2*SRR?2X, where SRO is the solder resist opening, SRR is a solder registration for the manufacturing process, and X is a function of a thickness of the exposed sidewall of the contact pad. The value of X ranges from 5 to 20 microns. The solder bump wets the exposed sidewall of the contact pad and substantially fills an area adjacent to the exposed sidewall. The contact pad can be made circular, rectangular, or donut-shaped.

  • Patent number: 8030756
    Abstract: A plastic ball grid array semiconductor package employs a metal heat spreader having supporting arms embedded in the molding cap, in which the embedded supporting arms are not directly affixed to the substrate or in which any supporting arm that is affixed to the substrate is affixed using a resilient material such as an elastomeric adhesive. Also, a process for forming the package includes steps of placing the heat spreader in a mold cavity, placing the substrate over the mold cavity such that the die support surface of the substrate contacts the supporting arms of the heat spreader, and injecting the molding material into the cavity to form the molding cap. The substrate is positioned in register over the mold cavity such that as the molding material hardens to form the mold cap the embedded heat spreader becomes fixed in the appropriate position in relation to the substrate.

  • Patent number: 7875495
    Abstract: A semiconductor device is made by disposing a film layer over a substrate having first conductive layer. An opening is formed in the film layer to expose the first conductive layer. A second conductive layer is formed over the first conductive layer. A first bump is formed over the second conductive layer which promotes reflow of the first bump at a eutectic temperature. A standoff bump is formed on the film layer around a perimeter of the substrate. The film layer prevents reflow of the standoff bump at the eutectic temperature. A second bump is disposed between a semiconductor die and the first bump. The second bump is reflowed to electrically connect the semiconductor die to the first bump. After reflow of the second bump, the standoff bump has a height at least 70% of the second bump prior to reflow to maintain separation between the semiconductor die and substrate.
