摘要:
The present invention relates generally to a new process for hermetically sealing of a high thermally conductive substrate, such as, an aluminum nitride substrate, using a low thermally conductive interposer and structure thereof. More particularly, the invention encompasses a hermetic cap which is secured to an aluminum nitride substrate using the novel thermal interposer. The novel thermal interposer basically comprises of layers of relatively high thermal conductive metallic materials sandwiching a core layer of low thermal conductive metallic material.

摘要:
A laser ablation apparatus and method removes undesired portions of a workpiece. An industrial laser generates a beam of optical energy and directs the beam at the workpiece. A mechanism in the path of the beam for shapes the cross-section of the beam and includes first and second linear actuators on opposite sides of the beam path. Each of the actuators includes a plurality of linear members, with each linear member being adjacent to and in contact with another linear member, and means for individually inserting and retracting each of said members into and out of said beam path a desired distance to thereby shape the beam so as to ablate only undesired portions of the workpiece.

The present invention relates generally to a new structure and a method for repairing electrical lines, and more particularly, the invention encompasses a structure and a method for repairing electrical lines on a ceramic or a semiconductor substrate. On a substrate that has an open or an electrical discontinuity, one or more trenches or grooves are made next to the open, or discontinuity and using standard deposition process one or more metals are deposited in the open to provide or restore electrical continuity while the excess deposition material is allowed to drain or propagate into the trench.
摘要:
A conductive line is applied to a substrate by aligning the conductive line in juxtaposition with a selected area of the substrate; bonding the conductive line to the substrate; and detaching the conductive line from a carrier in which the conductive line is suspended. The carrier has a carrier opening defined by sidewalls, and conductive material is suspended by the sidewalls of the carrier opening so as to be embedded within the carrier opening, and form the conductive line.

A chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) system includes a rotating polishing table including a platen providing at least two pressure zones having different pressures; a sub-pad positioned on the platen, the sub-pad including a plurality of openings allowing for transmission of the different pressures therethrough; a fixed abrasive pad positioned on the sub-pad; and a pressure-creating system sealingly coupled to the platen for creating a different pressure in the at least two pressure zones, wherein the different pressures create topography on the fixed abrasive pad. A sub-pad and related method are also provided.
摘要:
A method and system to predict lithography focus error using chip topography data is disclosed. The chip topography data may be measured or simulated topography data. A plane is best fitted to the topography data, and residuals are computed. The residuals are then used to make a prediction regarding the focus error. The density ratio of metal to dielectric may also be used as a factor in determining the predicted focus error.
