    Abstract: A method of forming a lead includes providing an elongated lead body defining an annular groove disposed around a circumference of the lead body along one of a distal end or a proximal end of the lead body. A pre-contact is disposed around the circumference of the lead body within the annular groove. The pre-contact includes a pre-contact body having opposing first and second ends and first and second tabs extending outwardly from the opposing first and second ends, respectively. The first and second tabs are crimped together and folded flat against an outer surface of the pre-contact body. A polymeric material of the lead body is re-flowed to facilitate coupling of the pre-contact to the lead body. An outer surface of the pre-contact body is ground down to form a contact disposed along the one of the distal end or the proximal end of the lead body.

  • Patent number: 8673743
    Abstract: A wafer is divided by setting the focal point of a laser beam inside the wafer at positions corresponding to division lines, thereby forming modified layers inside the wafer along the division lines. Each modified layer has a thickness ranging from the vicinity of the front side of the wafer to the vicinity of the back side of the wafer. An etching gas or an etching liquid is supplied to the wafer to erode the modified layers, thereby dividing the wafer into individual devices. The modified layers are not crushed, so fine particles are not generated in dividing the wafer. Accordingly, fine particles do not stick to the surface of each device and cause a reduction in quality. Further, since the modified layers are removed by etching, it is possible to prevent a reduction in die strength of each device due to the remainder of the modified layers.

  • Publication number: 20130052468
    Abstract: A method of making a mirror from a single crystal blank may include fine grinding top and bottom surfaces of the blank to be parallel. The blank may then be heat treated to near its melting temperature. An optical surface may be created on an optical side of the blank. A protector may be bonded to the optical surface. With the protector in place, the blank may be light weighted by grinding a non-optical surface of the blank using computer controlled grinding. The light weighting may include creating a structure having a substantially minimum mass necessary to maintain distortion of the mirror within a preset limit. A damaged layer of the non-optical surface caused by light weighting may be removed with an isotropic etch and/or repaired by heat treatment. If an oxide layer is present, the entire blank may then be etched using, for example, hydrofluoric acid. A reflecting coating may be deposited on the optical surface.

  • Patent number: 8356406
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an electronic device includes: roughening an underside surface of a film made of a resin, opposite to a mounting surface of the film for mounting a circuit chip; forming a conductor pattern on the mounting surface of the film, thereby obtaining a substrate made of the film where the conductor pattern is formed; and attaching a thermoset adhesive to a conductor-pattern-formed surface of the substrate. The method further includes: mounting the circuit chip to be connected to the conductor pattern on the substrate via the thermoset adhesive; clamping the substrate by a heating apparatus having a presser section and a support section, the presser section abutting the circuit chip mounted on the substrate and the support section abutting the underside surface of the roughened film; and fixing the circuit chip to the conductor pattern by heating and hardening the thermoset adhesive using the heating apparatus.
