    Abstract: A method for generating a write pattern to be used in a maskless-lithography process is described. During the method, a computer system determines a one-to-one correspondence between pixels in the write pattern and at least a subset of elements in a spatial-light modulator used in the maskless-lithography process. Furthermore, the computer system generates the write pattern. Note that the write pattern includes features corresponding to at least the subset of elements in the spatial-light modulator, and the generating is in accordance with a characteristic dimension of an element in the spatial-light modulator and a target pattern that is to be printed on a semiconductor wafer during the maskless-lithography process.

  • Patent number: 8082524
    Abstract: A method for determining mask patterns to be used on photo-masks in a multiple-exposure photolithographic process is described. During the method, an initial mask pattern, which is intended for use in a single-exposure photolithographic process, and a target pattern that is to be printed are used to determine a first mask pattern and a second mask pattern, which are intended for use in the multiple-exposure photolithographic process. In particular, the first mask pattern includes a first feature and the second mask pattern includes a second feature, and the first feature and the second feature overlap an intersection between features in the initial mask pattern. Moreover, the first mask pattern and the second mask pattern have at least one decreased spatial frequency relative to the initial mask pattern along at least one direction in the initial mask pattern.

  • Publication number: 20080174782
    Abstract: A method of speckle size and distribution control and the optical system using the same are disclosed. The optical system is arranged inside a housing of a computer mouse that is primarily composed of a laser unit, a lens set, an image sensing unit and a digital signal processing unit. It is known that by projecting a laser beam onto a surface with sufficient roughness, the surface will exhibits a speckled appearance as the speckle pattern is a random intensity pattern produced by the mutual interference of coherent laser beam that are subject to phase differences and/or intensity fluctuations.

  • Publication number: 20080150897
    Abstract: An optical structure of a laser input device includes an input device body; a laser source, inside the input device body to emit a laser light beam which travels linearly along a determined incident path to a work surface; a splitter, having a first interface and a second interface behind the first interface, wherein the first interface and the second interface are in a light reflecting path of the laser light beam and reflect respective axial light beams which have the same frequency and intersect with each other; and a light sensor, located at an intersection of the axial light beams for sensing a light interference strip pattern formed by intersecting the axial light beams. Moving direction and displacement of the input device on a work surface can be determined more precisely by sensing the change of the light interference strip pattern.

  • Patent number: 7324089
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved optical device for optical mouse, being installed inside the case body of the optical mouse, comprising: a LED, a lens mount, a sensor and a digital signal processor. That is, instead of using the LED, the LED assembly clip, the positioning holes and the lens mount, which are separated from and independent to one another, for fixing the LED inside the optical mouse, the present invention uses a combined device featuring fool-proof, and positioning-insetting-all-in-one concept can place the LED precisely at the first lens of the lens mount and is capable of installing the LED accurately onto the lens mount and the same time rapidly and effectively adjusting and fixing the relative angle and position as seen in FIG. 6 between the lens mount and the LED. Moreover, the combined device is easy to positioned such that the forgoing shortcomings of high manufacturing cost and difficult to mass-produced are avoided.

  • Publication number: 20050127390
    Abstract: An improved LED package comprises a first stand, a second stand, an LED chip, an epoxy packaging object, wherein the first stand further comprises a concave bowl section, and a first pin is extended from the bottom of the first stand, and a second stand is disposed adjacent to the first stand and keeps a certain distance from the first stand. The LED chip is disposed in the bowl section at the top of the first stand, and the anode of the LED chip makes use of a conductive metal wire to electrically connect the second stand. The epoxy packaging object encapsulates the first stand, second stand, and LED chip inside and just leaves the first and second pins exposed. A plane perpendicular to the optical path of the light emitted by the LED chip is disposed on the top surface of the packaging object, and the top surface has more than one circular protrusion to achieve the objective of enhancing the brightness and uniformity of luminescence.
