  • Patent number: 11647340
    Abstract: A vibration transducer for sensing vibrations includes a first flexible triboelectric member, a second flexible triboelectric member, a plurality of attachment points, a first electrode and a second electrode. The first flexible triboelectric member includes a first triboelectric layer and a material being on a first position on a triboelectric series. A conductive layer is deposited on the second side thereof. The second flexible triboelectric member includes a second triboelectric layer and a material being on a second position on the triboelectric series that is different from the first position on the triboelectric series. The second triboelectric member is adjacent to the first flexible triboelectric member.

  • Patent number: 11567051
    Abstract: Nanoreactors comprising a metal precursor in a carrier are provided as well as methods of initiating, methods of preparing, and methods of using nanoreactors. In some embodiments, upon exposure to heat, the metal precursor forms nanoparticles that can be detected, e.g., by detecting a color change in the nanoreactor and/or by detecting the number and/or size and/or size distribution and/or shape of the nanoparticles. The nanoreactors can be used, in some embodiments, as time-temperature indicators for perishable goods.

  • Patent number: 10242863
    Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus for processing a wafer including a temporary substrate and a semiconductor device. The substrate processing apparatus includes a first half portion, a second half portion and a liquid supply unit. The first half portion includes a working platform. The second half portion includes an upper cover having a first surface and a plurality of second holes. The liquid supply unit provides a liquid. The wafer is placed on the working platform, and a second surface of the semiconductor device and the first surface are spaced by a distance sufficient for allowing the liquid to come into contact with the first surface when the liquid flows at the second surface to generate a suction force on the second surface. As such, a peel force is formed between the temporary substrate and the semiconductor device to cause the two to separate from each other.

  • Publication number: 20170154803
    Abstract: A non-contact wafer transport device for transporting a wafer to be transported includes a base, a moving arm, a tube disposed in the moving arm and a negative pressure device. The moving arm is pivotally connected to the base, moves relatively to the base, and includes an operating end away from the base. The tube includes a channel that accommodates a fluid, and a suction port that is in communication with the channel and formed at the suction port. The negative pressure device, connected to the channel, generates a negative pressure upon the fluid in the channel to cause the suction port to form a suction force. The suction force acts on the wafer to be transported and causes the wafer to be transported to be kept at a distance from the operating end. Thus, without contacting the wafer, the wafer to be transported can be transported.

  • Patent number: 8993365
    Abstract: A wafer packaging method includes the following steps. A wafer having a plurality of integrated circuit units is provided. A first surface of the wafer opposite to the integrated circuit units is ground. A release layer is formed on a second surface of a light transmissive carrier. An ultraviolet temporary bonding layer is formed on the second surface of the light transmissive carrier or a third surface of the wafer. The ultraviolet temporary bonding layer is used to adhere the second surface of the light transmissive carrier to the third surface of the wafer. The first surface of the wafer is adhered to an ultraviolet tape. A fourth surface of the light transmissive carrier is exposed to ultraviolet to eliminate adhesion force of the ultraviolet temporary bonding layer. The light transmissive carrier and the release layer are removed.
