  • Patent number: 11987431
    Abstract: A top-opening substrate carrier comprises a container body, a door member and at least one latching mechanism. The latching mechanism includes a rotary drive member, a first driven cam, a second driven cam, a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod, two longitudinal latching arms and two lateral latching arms. The first driven cam and the second driven cam are disposed at two sides of the rotary drive member. When the rotary drive member is rotated by force, it links and activates the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod to synchronously drive the first driven cam and the second driven cam to rotate, thereby driving the two longitudinal latching arms and the two lateral latching arms to project towards locking holes of the container body and locked, or retract from the locking holes of the container body and unlocked.

  • Publication number: 20240078653
    Abstract: A visual inspection method of a curved object executed by a visual inspection system. The visual inspection system includes a robotic arm, a camera mounted at a tail end of the robotic arm, a fixing unit mounted under the camera, and a control unit electrically connected to the robotic arm and the camera. Specific steps of the visual inspection method of the curved object are described hereinafter. Fix a curved object which is to be inspected by the fixing unit. Capture the object which is to be inspected with a plurality of groups of preset parameters by the camera. Use the control unit to calculate a better shooting parameter. Use the better shooting parameter by the camera to proceed with visual inspections of the curved objects which are to be inspected in batches.

  • Patent number: 11916075
    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) structure includes a substrate having several regions, several semiconductor devices formed at the substrate and respectively within the regions, and an ultra-deep (UD) trench isolation structure formed in the substrate. The substrate has a top surface and a bottom surface oppositely, and the UD trench isolation structure formed in the substrate surrounds peripheries of each of the regions for structurally and physically isolating the semiconductor devices within different regions. The UD trench isolation structure penetrates the substrate by extending from the top surface of the substrate to the bottom surface of the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20230386876
    Abstract: A door locking mechanism and semiconductor container using the same include door panel, cover, and locking module. The door panel has a first stop structure. The cover and the door panel define an accommodating space for receiving the locking module. The locking module includes rotating member, holding member, and elastic member. The elastic member is disposed on the holding member and has a second stop structure near the first stop structure. The elastic member is disposed between the holding and the rotating member. The elastic member is compressed when a force is applied to the holding member, and the second stop structure detaches from a limitation state with the first stop structure for allowing a rotating operation of the rotating member. The elastic member elastically restores when the force is removed, and the second stop structure returns to the limitation state for limiting the rotating operation.

  • Publication number: 20220089325
    Abstract: A modularized large-sized carrier includes at least two body modules, at least one hermetic seal component and a back board. The body modules are connected to each other peripherally and arranged in a depth direction. The hermetic seal component surrounds junctions of the body modules. The back board is disposed behind the last one of the body modules. The modularized large-sized carrier overcomes existing carrier size limitations otherwise caused by injection molding machines and continuously expands in the depth direction to thereby enlarge the airtight storage space of the carrier.

  • Publication number: 20220093437
    Abstract: A substrate container with enhanced flow field therein includes a box, at least one offset inflation mechanism and at least one gas diffusion mechanism. The offset inflation mechanism is disposed outside internal receiving space of the box. The offset inflation mechanism has a gaseous chamber extending in the same direction as a bottom panel. The gas diffusion mechanism includes a base, a partition wall and at least one diffusion member. The base masks an outlet of the gaseous chamber to form an auxiliary gaseous chamber. The partition wall extends perpendicularly to the bottom panel to form a vertical first gas channel in communication with the auxiliary gaseous chamber. The diffusion member and the partition wall together define a second gas channel. The partition wall has at least one gap whereby the first gas channel and the second gas channel are in communication with each other.
