  • Publication number: 20110070736
    Abstract: A method for polishing Through-Silicon Via (TSV) wafers is provided. The method comprises a step of subjecting the surface of a TSV wafer to a polishing treatment with a polishing composition containing an organic alkaline compound, an oxidizing agent selected from sodium chlorite and/or potassium bromate, silicon oxide abrasive particles, and a solvent to simultaneously remove Si and conductive materials at their respective removal rates. By using the method of this invention, Si and conductive materials can be simultaneously polished at higher removal rates to significantly save the necessary working-hour costs for polishing TSV wafers. A polishing composition used in the above method is also provided.

  • Patent number: 7466693
    Abstract: A global communication internet telephone system is a new software Web Call structure, in which the system user only requires a computer with Windows 98® or above, a duplex sound card, a display interface and internet access, and logging directly into a GTD Web 800 web page thereafter, receiving a automatic number dispensing function and GTD automatic number skipping function. The characteristics of the system lies in that a signature which can be linked to the GTD Web 800 web pages for browsing is added into an e-mail of a user computer. As long as an e-mail receiver clicks on the signature file of the e-mail, he can be linked to the web pages and conduct a VoIP dialog with the e-mail sender. If a computer at a sending side is not powered on the sending side can freely choose whether to forward incoming calls to a designated cellular phone or local phone by automatically appointing a number.
