摘要:
A method of processing image data from a multi-chip array with a plurality of photosensitive chips aligned substantially in a transverse direction, including: generating, using a processor for at least one specially programmed computer, a Δy or Δx optical error value equal to a difference in process and transverse directions, respectively, between actual and apparent locations for a first photosensor, the apparent location due to optical error; and storing, in a memory element for the specially programmed computer, respective outputs from the photosensors in the array for first and second scan lines. The actual location is included in the first scan line. The processor retrieves, for use as at least part of useful image data for the first photosensor, the stored output of: the first photosensor for the second scan line for a Δy optical error, or a second photosensor for the first line for a Δx optical error.
摘要:
A method for dicing a semiconductor wafer, including: cutting a reference slot in a back main surface of the wafer; cutting a back slot in the back main surface, the back slot positioned with respect to the reference slot; determining a desired location for a chip edge with respect to the reference slot; and applying radiant energy in a path such that a series of reformed regions are formed within the wafer along the path. A crystalline structure of the wafer is modified in the series of reformed regions and an alignment of an edge of the laser is with respect to the desired location for the chip edge and in alignment with the back slot. The method includes separating the wafer along the series of reformed regions to divide portions of the wafer on either side of the series of reformed regions.
摘要:
A streak detection method and system in a fixed imaging array digital scanning system obtains image data from each of the plurality of rows in the at least one full color spectrum channel set of rows of positionally discrete sensors and integrates this data to produce an estimate of image data recorded by at least one clear channel row of positionally discrete sensors. A clear channel error signal is generated by the comparison to alert the operator to the presence of non-image data. The clear channel error signal may be refined to through a low pass column filtering process in order to filter out potentially erroneous clear channel error resulting from thermal, mechanical or other noise sources unrelated to image scanning. Stationary obstructions in the field of view of the imaging array, or defects in one or more sensors in the imaging array, are detected through this comparison which would otherwise appear repeatedly reproduced as streaks or lines in the reproduced output image.

The present disclosure relates that by modifying chip die dicing methodology to a U-groove profile from a V-groove profile by modifying the second etch step to be a dry etch instead of a wet etch results in a direct cost savings by eliminating a more expensive process step, as well as the need for stripping the developed photoresist layer. Furthermore, going to a U-groove profile accomplishes additional indirect and greater cost savings resulting from increased process throughput, improved yield, and reduced metal layer defects.

The present invention relates to photosensitive chips for creating electrical signals from an original image, as would be found for example in a digital scanner, copier, facsimile machine, or other document generating or reproducing device. More specifically, the present invention provides a way of shielding the edge photosites with an opaque layer that overlaps the diced region and preserves the integrity of the filter layers while eliminating the need for a guardring to decrease the dead space and consequently reduce the undesirable effects of Moire patterns.

摘要:
An image sensor array includes a plurality of photosensor chips, which are butted end-to-end to form a single linear array of photosensors. Each individual chip in the array is provided with an independently-addressable output enable line and video output line. This configuration allows individual chips to be addressed to output image data at specific times and in a specific manner suitable for any kind of downstream circuitry.
摘要:
A photosensitive chip, such as used in a scanner or facsimile, defines a linear array of photosites, each photosite being covered with a filter formed from a cured translucent liquid. At the critical ends of the chip, between the end photosite in the array and the edge of the chip, there is provided a ridge which protrudes over the thickness of the filter. This ridge maintains the physical integrity of the filter.
摘要:
A process for separating image sensor dies and the like from a wafer in which pairs of separation grooves separating each row of dies are formed in the active side of the wafer, with the tab between each groove pair being substantially equal to the width of the dicing blade, cutting a single bottom groove in the inactive side of the wafer opposite to and spanning each pair of separation grooves, and aligning the dicing blade with the midpoint of the wall of one groove in each pair of grooves so as to cut between the rows of dies. In a second embodiment, a two-pass separation process is enabled in which the tab between separation grooves is slightly larger than the width of the dicing blade, with the dicing blade first aligned with the midpoint of one separation groove to cut one row of dies from the wafer together with part of the tab, with the blade realigned with the midpoint of the other separate groove to cut a second row of dies and the remainder of the tab.
摘要:
A phase change inkjet printer is equipped with an agitator to prevent settling of metal particles in melted magnetic phase change ink. The agitator operates to agitate the melted magnetic phase change ink as the ink enters the printhead to maintain the metal particles in suspension within the melted ink.

A printhead wiper assembly includes an elongated member having a first and second wiper, a linkage, and an actuator. The linkage includes a clutch that enables the elongated member to move to a plurality of positions in response to the actuator activating a plurality of times. The sequence of positions enables first wiper and then the other wiper to contact the printhead face to remove purged ink from the face.
