    Abstract: A system and method for providing a conductive line is provided. In an embodiment the conductive line is formed by forming two passivation layers, wherein each passivation layer is independently patterned. Once formed, a seed layer is deposited into the two passivation layers, and a conductive material is deposited to fill and overfill the patterns within the two passivation layers. A planarization process such as a chemical mechanical polish may then be utilized in order to remove excess conductive material and form the conductive lines within the two passivation layers.

  • Publication number: 20120291506
    Abstract: A device producing a patterned plate includes a die and an electromagnetic actuator. The die includes a patterned surface with a pattern formed thereon and a fracturing part. The tubular work piece is disposed between the die and the electromagnetic actuator such that walls of the tubular work piece correspond to walls of the die. When the electromagnetic actuator is supplied with a current pulse, an eddy current is induced in the tubular work piece, generating a repulsive force between the electromagnetic actuator and the tubular work piece. Therefore, the tubular work piece impacts the die, and a forming surface of the tubular work piece is deformed against the patterned surface and the fracturing part, thus replicating the pattern of the patterned surface onto the forming surface. At the same time, the tubular work piece is fractured at the position corresponding to the fracturing part.

  • Patent number: 8056381
    Abstract: A device for producing a pattern onto a work piece includes a die, an electromagnetic actuator and a base. The die includes a patterned surface, and the patterned surface includes a pattern. The electromagnetic actuator includes an plate body, a convex part and a strip unit connected to the plate body. The electromagnetic actuator is disposed in the base. When the electromagnetic actuator is activated while a work piece is being positioned between the patterned surface and the electromagnetic actuator, an inductive current is generated on the work piece by the electromagnetic actuator, and then a repulsive force is generated between the electromagnetic actuator and the work piece. The repulsive force causes the work piece to adhere to the patterned surface, forcing the work piece to deform against the patterned surface and to take on the shape of the pattern.

  • Patent number: 7957459
    Abstract: A symbol rate testing method based on signal waveform analysis is provided. A signal with a plurality of quasi bits 1 and a plurality of quasi bits 0 is received and sampled within an acquiring time. Maximum values of the quasi bits 1 are obtained by calculating sampling values of the signal at various sampling points. A minimum value among the maximum values is determined as a critical value. Whether a quasi bit 1 is a bit 1 or not is determined according to the critical value, and a total number of the bits 1 within the acquiring time is counted. Similarly, a number of the bits 0 within the acquiring time are also obtained. Thus, the symbol rate is obtained according to the above information.
