摘要:
The present invention relates to solar lighting device, in particular, an illuminating solar display panel comprising display of a transparent illustration on the solar panel. The present invention has dual functional abilities of collecting solar power as a power supply unit and present illuminating illustration as a display unit, whereby an illustration is cutout from the dark coloured material layers of the power supply panel creating a transparent illustration; thereby, light can enter from behind the panel and create an illuminating effect to the illustration. Instead of two separate components, compromise of solar panel(s) and illuminating display unit, the current invention combines two separate units into one independent power efficient illuminating solar display apparatus.

A backlight module (30) includes a light guide plate and a light source (210). The light guide plate includes a light incident surface, and a light diffusion cavity (308) disposed corresponding to the light incident surface. The light source is disposed adjacent to the light incident surface. One of surfaces (309) of the light guide plate defining the light diffusion cavity includes a plurality of prism structures, the surface being the one nearest to the light incident surface. Most of the light from the light source can be diffused uniformly by the prism structures before entering an efficient display area of the light guide plate. This reduces or eliminates what would otherwise be one or more dark areas in the light guide plate, and results in the uniform emitting of light from the light guide plate.

A semiconductor chip having an exposed metal terminating pad thereover, and a separate substrate having a corresponding exposed metal bump thereover are provided. A conducting polymer plug is formed over the exposed metal terminating pad. A conforming interface layer is formed over the conducting polymer plug. The conducting polymer plug of the semiconductor chip is aligned with the corresponding metal bump. The conforming interface layer over the conducting polymer plug is mated with the corresponding metal bump. The conforming interface layer is thermally decomposed, adhering and permanently attaching the conducting polymer plug with the corresponding metal bump.

Isolated peptide sequences and proteins containing these sequences are provided which are useful in the prevention and treatment of infection caused by Gram-positive bacteria. The peptide sequences have been shown to be highly conserved motifs in the surface proteins of Gram-positive bacteria, and these consensus sequences include amino acid sequences such as LPXTG (SEQ ID NO:13), ALKTGKIDIIISGMTSTPERKK (SEQ ID NO:14), VEGAVVEKPVAEAYLKQN (SEQ ID NO:15), and EYAGVDIDLAKKIAK (SEQ ID NO:16). By virtue of the highly conserved regions, the sequences and the proteins including these sequences can be utilized to generate antibodies which can recognize these highly conserved motifs and the proteins containing them and thus be useful in the treatment or prevention of a wide range of infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria.

摘要:
A method of bonding a wire to a metal bonding pad, comprising the following steps. A semiconductor die structure having an exposed metal bonding pad within a chamber is provided. The bonding pad has an upper surface. A hydrogen-plasma is produced within the chamber from a plasma source. The metal bonding pad is pre-cleaned and passivated with the hydrogen-plasma to remove any metal oxide formed on the metal bonding pad upper surface. A wire is then bonded to the passivated metal bonding pad.
摘要:
A method for cleaning a semiconductor structure using vapor phase condensation with a thermally vaporized cleaning agent, a hydrocarbon vaporized by pressure variation, or a combination of the two. In the thermally vaporized cleaning agent process, a semiconductor structure is lowered into a vapor blanket in a thermal gradient cleaning chamber at atmospheric pressure formed by heating a liquid cleaning agent below the vapor blanket and cooling the liquid cleaning agent above the vapor blanket causing it to condense and return to the bottom of the thermal gradient cleaning chamber. The semiconductor structure is then raised above the vapor blanket and the cleaning agent condenses on all of the surfaces of the semiconductor structure removing contaminants and is returned to the bottom of the chamber by gravity. In the pressurized hydrocarbon process, a semiconductor structure is placed into a variable pressure cleaning chamber, having a piston which changes the pressure by reducing or increasing the volume of the chamber. The semiconductor structure first exposed to the hydrocarbon in vapor phase, then the piston is lowered to condense the hydrocarbon. A semiconductor structure can be cleaned by either or both of these processes by repetitive vaporization/condensation cycles.
