Patents by Inventor Yet Hong Tan

Yet Hong Tan has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10937682
    Abstract: A semiconductor tool and methods of forming semiconductor device assemblies. The semiconductor tool is a bond tip having a vacuum port and a plurality of purge ports with channels coupling the vacuum port with the purge ports. Air may be withdrawn through the vacuum to create a vacuum on the bottom of the bond tip to selectively couple a semiconductor device with the bond tip. The bond tip positions the semiconductor device on top of a stack of semiconductor devices to form a semiconductor device assembly. The assembly may be heated to reflow interconnects between the semiconductor device and the top device of the stack of semiconductor devices. Fluid provided through the purge ports may help to counter warpage of the semiconductor device to help form adequate interconnects between the devices. Fluid may also be provided through the vacuum port to counter the warpage.
    Type: Grant
