  • Patent number: 11158540
    Abstract: Light-absorbing masks and methods of dicing semiconductor wafers are described. In an example, a method of dicing a semiconductor wafer including a plurality of integrated circuits involves forming a mask above the semiconductor wafer. The mask includes a water-soluble matrix based on a solid component and water, and a light-absorber species throughout the water-soluble matrix. The mask and a portion of the semiconductor wafer are patterned with a laser scribing process to provide a patterned mask with gaps and corresponding trenches in the semiconductor wafer in regions between the integrated circuits. The semiconductor wafer is plasma etched through the gaps in the patterned mask to extend the trenches and to singulate the integrated circuits.

  • Patent number: 8288956
    Abstract: A circuit for preheating filaments in lamps powered by an electronic ballast includes an inverter tank circuit and a preheat tank circuit. The preheat tank circuit has a preheat capacitor connected in parallel with a primary winding of a filament preheat transformer. A cut-back capacitor is connected between the preheat tank circuit and circuit ground. The filament preheat transformer has secondary windings coupled to the first and second lamp terminals to provide a filament preheat voltage. The inverter operates at a preheat frequency during a lamp preheat mode and at a steady-state frequency during a lamp steady-state mode, the steady-state frequency being lower than the preheat frequency. The preheat tank circuit has a natural resonant frequency that is approximately the same as the preheat frequency so that when the ballast is operating in the steady state mode, the filament voltage is substantially lower than when the ballast is operating in the preheat mode.

    Abstract: A main lens comprises a second segment G5-2, a sixth grid G6 and an additional electrode GM disposed between the second segment G5-2 and sixth grid G6. A first-level constant voltage and a second-level constant voltage are applied to the second segment and sixth grid, respectively. A third-level voltage, which is at a level between the first level and the second level, is applied to the additional electrode. In accordance with the increase in deflection amount of an electric beam, the third-level voltage varies a value expressed by ((voltage to the additional electrode)—(voltage to the second segment))/((voltage to the sixth grid)—(voltage to the second segment)). An auxiliary lens comprising lenses including a third grid G3 and a first segment G5-1 has a focusing power decreasing in accordance with an increase in deflection amount of the electron beam.

  • Publication number: 20010052744
    Abstract: A monochrometer mounted with the electron gun of an electron microscope or the like. This monochrometer does not need movement of a slit. An electron source consisting of any one of a thermal emission-type electron source (such as an LaB6 electron source or a tungsten hairpin), a Schottky emission-type electron source, and a tunneling field emission-type electron source is used. The slit is made of a single metal plate and mounted in position fixedly. Electrons are emitted from the electron source and dispersed within a plane including the slit according to energies. The slit is so positioned that it passes only those of the dispersed electrons which have energies close to the peak energy and blocks electrons having energies higher or lower than the peak energy.

  • Patent number: 6232709
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for electrostatic deflection and focusing of a charged particle stream. The apparatus can include plural vertical and horizontal deflection plates, although a single vertical and a single horizontal deflection plate each with a reference potential plane are preferred. Both orthogonal and preferably tilted display screens are employed to receive the deflected beam. The particle stream is injected offset from a centered position and the stream is deflected asymmetrically relative to the attracting deflection plate. Two alternately preferred computer programs are employable to calculate an offset position. A preferred external quadrupole is employed to correct any residual astigmatism in the particle stream. In one embodiment, the apparatus is disposed in a cathode ray tube. A reduced footprint CRT is also disclosed. Methods and apparatuses for an energy filtered electron beam, a mass spectrometer and a mass separator are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 6157125
    Abstract: A second film that contains a substance that secures the conductivity of conductive particles is formed on a first film that contains the conductive particles. The first film and the second film are sintered at the same time. Thus, a conductive anti-reflection film having a sufficiently low surface resistance with a sufficient transmissivity for a high transparency can be obtained with high cost performance. When the conductive anti-reflection film is used for a cathode ray tube, it can almost prevent the AEF (Alternating Electric Field), display a picture in high quality, and be excellent in cost performance.

  • Patent number: 6150760
    Abstract: An implosion protection-enhanced cathode ray tube (CRT) includes an evacuated envelope structured from a display panel section, a neck, and a funnel section. The CRT comes with a reinforcing metal band for implosion protection clamped by thermal shrink-fit methods around the outer periphery of the panel. This implosion-protective band may be a metal strip of generally rectangular closed-loop shape. The strip is machined to have bent walls so that it resembles in shape an open-roof dome as a whole. Preferably, the band has its one edge as folded back or "curled" defining a "flip." Upon attachment to the display panel, the band is placed so that the "peak" of each bulged wall is offset in position from a mold match line of the panel toward the CRT neck. With such "band preoffset" feature, the implosion-protective band offers increased locking or clamping forces against the panel thus enhancing the CRT implosion protecting ability.

  • Patent number: 6104194
    Abstract: In a method for determining whether electronic charge has been accumulated on the inner surface of a cathode ray tube (10), at least one electron beam is generated within the cathode ray tube and is deflected so that it hits the inner surface of the funnel (14) of the cathode ray tube. The temperature of a portion of the cathode ray tube is measured and is compared with a reference temperature value. If the measured temperature is greater than or equal to the reference temperature, it is determined that the electronic charge has accumulated. If the measured temperature is below the reference temperature, then the electron beam or beams have become switched off and electronic charge may not have accumulated on the inner surface of the cathode ray tube.
