  • Patent number: 7836727
    Abstract: A method of cutting a glass substrate to form a plurality of flat panel displays. The method includes forming a scribe line or a line of weakness on a surface of a mother material; treating the mother material with chemical to further weaken the mother material; and cutting the mother material. The scribe line may be formed using a masking technique. The mother material may be treated with chemical by putting the mother material into a chemical solution. Alternatively, the chemical may be sprayed, blown, or exposed to the mother material. The cutting of the mother material may be done by applying mechanical and/or thermal stress along the scribe line.

  • Publication number: 20100171920
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a display device using a substrate cell obtained by separating a glass laminate substrate, in which two or more display regions are provided between two glass substrates, into substrate cells each having the display region by cutting. A physically-formed cut surface of the peripheral end face of the substrate cell is smoothed by subsequent chemical polishing, and the smoothed peripheral end face becomes flattened so that an area ratio R determined by the following formula is less than 1.2: R=S/S0, where S0 is a virtual flat reference area set to 600 ?m2 or more in an X-Y plane orthogonal to the front face of the substrate cell and S is a judgment area calculated in a measurement region, defined by the outline of the flat reference area S0, in the peripheral end face.

  • Patent number: 7749888
    Abstract: A columnar bump formed of copper etc. is formed on a wiring film of a semiconductor chip through an interconnected film and an adhesive film in a wafer unit by electrolytic plating in which package formation is possible. An oxidation prevention film is formed of such as gold on an upper surface or a part of the upper surface and side surface. A wet prevention film of such as an oxide film is formed on the columnar bump side as needed. If this bump is soldered to the pad on a packaging substrate, solder gets wet in the whole region of the columnar bump upper surface and only a part of the side surface. Stabilized and reliable junction form can be thus formed. Moreover, since the columnar bump does not fuse, the distance between a semiconductor board and a packaging board is not be narrowed by solder.

  • Patent number: 7728439
    Abstract: The reliabilities of a wiring substrate and a semiconductor apparatus are improved by reducing the internal stress caused by the difference of thermal expansion coefficients between a base substrate and a semiconductor chip. A wiring layer (5) is provided on one surface of a silicon base (3). An electrode as the uppermost layer of the wiring layer (5) is provided with an external bonding bump (7). A through-electrode (4) is formed in the base (3) for electrically connecting the wiring layer (5) and an electrode terminal. The electrode terminal on the chip mounting surface is bonded to an electrode terminal of a semiconductor chip (1) by an internal bonding bump (6). The thermal expansion coefficient of the silicon base (3) is equivalent to that of the semiconductor chip (1) and not more than that of the wiring layer (5).

  • Publication number: 20100014120
    Abstract: Image data including color separation data and gloss data of an image is input. The color separation data is quantized to generate a color signal. The gloss data of the image is quantized on the basis of the color signal and gloss data related to a recording medium, a color material, and a gloss control material to generate a gloss signal. An image is formed on the recording medium on the basis of the color signal and the gloss signal using the color material and the gloss control material.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for cutting a glass laminate including first and second glass plates, which includes: a first scribing step of forming a first scribe line on the surface of the first glass plate; an additional etching step of bringing the glass laminate into contact with an etchant to reduce the thickness of the entire glass laminate; a second scribing step of forming a second scribe line as a counterpart of the first scribe line on the surface of the second glass plate of the glass laminate whose thickness has been reduced, and a cutting step of applying stress to the glass laminate to cut the glass laminate along the scribe lines, wherein these steps are performed in this order. In the invention, a glass laminate, in which fractures starting from a scribe line before the cutting of a glass laminate is performed can be suppressed, can be cut.
