  • Patent number: 8843860
    Abstract: A method includes establishing an initial shot layout in which a number of shots are arranged in vertically aligned columns and horizontally aligned rows to cover a semiconductor wafer. At least one of a row of shots or a column of shots is shifted relative to an adjacent row or column of shots to establish at least one additional shot layout that differs from the initial shot layout in that shots in the at least one shifted row or column of shots are not aligned with the shots in the adjacent row or column of shots with which they were aligned in the initial shot layout. One of the initial shot layout and the at least one additional shot layout is selected as a final shot layout. The wafer is exposed to light using the final shot layout.

  • Publication number: 20140282254
    Abstract: Techniques for providing an in-place contextual menu and user interface for email and other information management system triage are provided in which a contextual menu can be overlaid or replace an item on a view screen. The contextual menu can provide action commands specific to the type and state of the items selected in the feature view of the email or other information management system. A single recognized selection input, such as a swipe gesture, selects an item and invokes an in-place contextual menu presenting actions that can be asserted on the selected item. Multiple item selection is available through the same invocation of presenting the in-place contextual menu.

An exemplary embodiment includes receiving a mask having a plurality of sub-reticles and a substrate having one or more regions. A first sub-reticle of the plurality of sub-reticles is aligned with a first region of the one or more regions. A movement pattern is designated relative to the substrate. A first photolithographic process is performed including exposing the substrate using the mask to form a first exposed area on the substrate. An alignment of the mask relative to the substrate is shifted according to a first direction determined by the movement pattern. A second photolithographic process is performed including exposing the substrate using the mask to form a second exposed area on the substrate such that the second exposed area overlaps the first.

  • Patent number: 8625076
    Abstract: A wafer edge exposure module connected to a semiconductor wafer track system. The wafer edge exposure module includes a wafer spin device, an optical system, a scanner interface module, and a controller. The wafer spin device supports a wafer for processing. The optical system directs exposure light on a respective edge portion of the wafer simultaneously to create a dummy track on the edge of the wafer. The scanner interface module sends and/or receives dummy edge exposure information from a scanner via a computer network. The controller receives the dummy edge exposure information from the scanner interface module and uses the exposure information to control the optical system.

  • Patent number: 8544317
    Abstract: A method and apparatus provide for simultaneously moving multiple semiconductor wafers in opposite directions while simultaneously performing processing operations on each of the wafers. The semiconductor wafers are orientated in coplanar fashion and are disposed on stages that simultaneously translate in opposite directions to produce a net system momentum of zero. The die of the respective semiconductor wafers are processed in the same spatial sequence with respect to a global alignment feature of the semiconductor wafer. A balance mass is not needed to counteract the motion of a stage because the opposite motions of the respective stages cancel each other.

  • Patent number: 8487900
    Abstract: An LCD and a touch display panel that can be integrated in the LCD are provided. The touch display panel comprises an active device matrix substrate that includes multiple sensing lines disposed on multiple data lines correspondingly and arranged parallel thereto, and multiple sensing devices formed on multiple scan lines. When an external pressure is exerted, a current is generated in the sensing lines, and the X and Y coordinates of the touch point is determined from a slight leakage current generated in the scan lines. The conventional external touch screen LCD device is substantially improved in response accuracy of the touch coordinates, material costs, and mechanical thickness.

  • Patent number: 8239788
    Abstract: A method includes receiving an integrated circuit chip size and determining a frame structure segment size based on the chip size. The frame structure segment size is less than the chip size. An initial shot layout having a chip count is established in which a number of shots, each including at least one frame structure segment and at least one chip, are arranged in vertically and horizontally aligned columns and rows. At least one additional shot layout is established in which at least one of a row or column of shots is offset from an adjacent row or column of shots. The initial shot layout is compared to the at least one additional shot layout, and a final shot layout is selected based in part on the total number of shots in the shot layout and has a final chip count that is greater than or equal to the initial chip count.

  • Publication number: 20100127844
    Abstract: The present invention provides a seat alignment sensing and safeguarding mechanism of an electric scooter cart. The seat is assembled rotatably via the chassis onto the top of a column on the main body of the electric scooter cart. The first and second sensors are arranged correspondingly between the top of the column and the chassis of the seat. The first sensor on the column is electrically connected with a controller, which can control on/off state of the drive motor of the electric scooter cart according to the sensing signal of the first sensor. When the seat of the electric scooter cart isn't realigned, the electric scooter cart cannot be activated, thereby improving the operational safety of the electric scooter cart with better applicability.
