摘要:
A process for forming individual dies having faces that allow the dies to be assembled against other like dies to form one and/or two dimensional scanning arrays wherein the active side of a wafer is etched to form small V-shaped grooves defining the die faces, relatively wide grooves are cut in the inactive side of the wafer opposite each V-shaped groove, and the wafer cut by sawing along the V-shaped grooves, the saw being located so that the side of the saw blade facing the die is aligned with the bottom of the V-shaped groove so that there is retained intact one side of the V-shaped groove to intercept and prevent cracks and chipping caused by sawing from damaging the die active surface and any circuits thereon.
摘要:
The present invention is concerned with a switching element comprised of oppositely disposed conductive fiber brushes and/or brush-like elements for detecting the presence or absence of paper at various locations in a xerographic copy machine. The oppositely disposed brushes are made from poly-acrylo-nitrile, a carbon based polymer material, which can be fabricated with relatively low values of resistance. Typical fiber bundles may consist of 6000 individual fibers each of 6-10 microns in diameter. In operation each individual conductive fiber acts as a separate electrical path through which the external circuit is completed. Passage of paper through the "nip" of the fiber to fiber electrical contact opens the circuit which is easily detected through associated circuitry which indicates the presence of paper. Likewise, arrays incorporating multiple such sensor switches may be fabricated for the purpose of indicating the size of the document interrupting specific low resistance fiber-fiber switches.

Semiconductor chips for use in a chip array assembly for scanning of hard-copy images include rows of photosensors, each row of photosensors having a polyimide filter layer for passing one primary color. In addition to the photosensors, a reflective area is provided on the chip, with filter portions provided on the reflective area. The filter portions are created at the same time as the filter layers placed on the photosensors. The filter layers disposed on the reflective area can be used as test sites for determining the light transmissivity of the filter layers on the photosensors.

Semiconductor chips, such as photosensor arrays for a full-page-width scanner or printhead chips for a full-page-width ink-jet printer, are mounted on a substrate to maintain reasonably consistent spacing among adjacent chips. To remove a defective chip from the array, the substrate is urged evenly against a work surface defining a convex bow. Alternately, back-cuts are provided along abutting edges of the chips, and the silicon around these back-cuts can be sawed away to space defective chips from neighboring good chips. By increasing the spacing of a defective chip from neighboring chips, the defective chip can be removed while minimizing the risk of damage to neighboring chips. Also, batches of chips can be originally manfactured on a single wafer as either "regular" chips or "replacement" chips, with the replacement chips being slightly shorter in a critical dimension.
