  • Publication number: 20200171593
    Abstract: Methods of fabricating a probe are described. In an example, a structure may be formed on a surface of a substrate. The structure may include the probe, a hinge, and an anchor arranged linearly, where an angle is formed between the probe and the hinge. The hinge may be positioned between the probe and the anchor, and the structure may be parallel to the substrate. An amount of solder may be deposited on an area of the structure that spans from a portion of the probe to a portion of the anchor, and across the hinge. The deposited solder may be reshaped by an execution of a solder reflow process. The reshape of the deposited solder may cause the probe to rotate about the hinge in order to reduce the angle between the probe and the hinge.

    Abstract: A light-emitting wireless charging structure includes a base, a wireless charging module, a light-emitting element and an upper cover. The wireless charging module is disposed on the base. The light-emitting element is disposed on the base adjacent to the wireless charging module. The upper cover covers the wireless charging module and the light-emitting element. The upper cover has a lower surface facing the wireless charging module and an upper surface opposite to the bottom surface. When the light-emitting element emits light, light coming from the light-emitting element passes through the upper cover and forms a mark on the upper surface to indicate the position of the wireless charging module. When the light-emitting element is turn off or kept in an off state, either the mark that has been formed on the upper surface disappears therefrom or no any mark is ever shown on the top surface.

  • Patent number: 10658182
    Abstract: Small size chip handling and electronic component integration are accomplished using handle fixturing to transfer die or other electronic components from a full area array to a targeted array. Area array dicing of a thinned device wafer on a handle wafer/panel may be followed by selective or non-selective de-bonding of targeted die or electronic components from the handle wafer and optional attachment to a carrier such as a transfer head or tape. Alignment fiducials may facilitate precision alignment of the transfer head or tape to the device wafer and subsequently to the targeted array. Alternatively, the dies or other electronic elements are transferred selectively from either a carrier or the device wafer to the targeted array.
