Patent number: 6343707Abstract: A memory card casing includes a plastic framework, and upper and lower metal covers that could be conveniently assembled to two sides of the plastic framework. The metal covers are fastened to each other via fastening means spaced on perpendicular wall portions of the metal covers. Each of the fastening means includes first and second fastening plates. The plastic framework is provided with retaining means, each of which includes a neck portion inward projected from and perpendicular to inner wall surface of the plastic framework and an expanded head portion in front of the neck portion.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2001Date of Patent: February 5, 2002Inventor: Tsung-Kan Cheng

Publication number: 20010032799Abstract: A package has a holder for holding an ink cartridge, a container for accommodating the holder, and a mount for sealing an opening of the container. The holder is made from recycled materials and the internal shape of the holder conforms to the external shape of the cartridge. The container has a transparent portion and substantially conforms to the holder. The mount is made from recycled materials. The mount is attached to the container in a depressurized environment. The cartridge is visible through the transparent portion of the container. Since the holder and the mount are made from recycled materials, the package is environmentally sound. The holder may hold a used cartridge.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2001Publication date: October 25, 2001Inventor: Satoshi Shinada

Patent number: 6234316Abstract: The invention describes a wafer protective container for holding integrated circuit (IC) wafers. The wafer protective container comprises a container body, a locking device, a container cover, and a plurality of fasteners assembled together to prevent movement of the IC wafers during transportation. The container body has at least an opening to allow easy loading and unloading of the IC wafers, while the locking device is used to keep the IC wafers in position in the container body. The container cover, which covers the container body, provides more protection for the IC wafers. The container cover has a plurality of notches to enhance ease of opening the IC wafer protective container. Since the fasteners can secure the container cover to the container body, a seal between the container cover and the container body is not broken as a result of rigorous movement during transportation, thus reducing the risk of contaminating the IC wafers.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 1999Date of Patent: May 22, 2001Assignee: United Microelectronics Corp.Inventors: H. C. Hsieh, Jason Horng

Patent number: 6182829Abstract: An insert for use within integrated circuit (IC) chip carriers to provide universality across device types and applications at a low design and fabrication cost. The present invention functions as a generic carrier floor and/or adaptor insert which enables reception of both quad-flat-pack (QFP) and thin-quad-flat-pack (TQFP) ICs within frames of a variety of existing carriers, or alternatively, may allow both QFP and TQFP ICs to utilize a single IC carrier frame, a feature which currently prevailing embodiments would require two unique IC carriers.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 1998Date of Patent: February 6, 2001Assignee: JohnsTech International CorporationInventors: William S. Clark, Donald L. Fulcher, David A. Johnson, Martin L. Cavegn, Chad Van Hove, John E. Nelson

Patent number: 6164454Abstract: A storage container for semiconductor objects is disclosed. The invention has a mounting structure having an inner frame, a temperature sensitive adherent film and an outer frame. Semiconductor objects are placed on the temperature sensitive adherent and covered. The cover does not touch the semiconductor objects because it has a spacer made of non-stick material. The invention stores semiconductor objects for a relatively long period of time in a safe and secure manner with minimal threat of breakage.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 1998Date of Patent: December 26, 2000Assignee: Lucent Technologies Inc.Inventors: Joseph Michael Freund, George John Przybylek, Dennis Mark Romero

Patent number: 6107680Abstract: A structure and method for protecting semiconductor integrated microcircuit dice during shipping. The structure secures the position of the die or dice atop an EMR-penetrable element using an adhesive layer, the stickiness, adhesiveness or coefficient of friction of which is alterable by exposure to EMR of a predetermined wavelength range, such as ultraviolet light. Once the structure reaches its destination, prior to removal of the dice, the adhesive layer is exposed to EMR, such as ultraviolet light, through the element. This exposure reduces the stickiness, adhesiveness, or coefficient of friction of the adhesive to facilitate die removal. The EMR-sensitive adhesive does not leave contaminating silicon residue on the removed die. The invention may be realized using currently commercially available UV tape and modified die-pac designs having UV light penetrable die transport portions, or tape-and-reel type die transport structures.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 1998Date of Patent: August 22, 2000Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventor: Joe W. Hodges
