Abstract:
The embodiments described provide apparatus and methods for bonding wafers to carriers with the surface contours of plates facing the substrates or carriers are modified either by re-shaping, by using height adjusters, by adding shim(s), or by zoned temperature control. The modified surface contours of such plates compensate the effects that may cause the non-planarity of bonded substrates.
Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments provide a belt material and methods for making and using the belt material. In one embodiment, the belt material can be a fast and low-temperature cured polyimide belt that includes a plurality of thermally-conductive species dispersed in a polyimide resin. In another embodiment, the belt material can include one or more layers formed over the fast and low-temperature cured polyimide belt substrate that includes a plurality of thermally-conductive species dispersed in the polyimide resin. For example, the fast and low-temperature cured polyimide belt or belt substrate can be cured at a temperature of about 300° C. or lower for a time length of less than about one hour. The belt material can be suitable for use in an electrostatographic printing process as a fuser belt, a fixing belt, a pressure belt, and/or a release agent donor belt.
Abstract:
A method includes bonding a wafer on a carrier through an adhesive, and performing a thinning process on the wafer. After the step of performing the thinning process, a portion of the adhesive not covered by the wafer is removed, while the portion of the adhesive covered by the wafer is not removed.
Abstract:
Described herein is a method of forming a seamless transfer member suitable for use with an image forming system. The method includes spray coating a UV curable polymer and conductive particles onto an inner surface of a rotating cylindrical mandrel. The UV curable polymer is cured with ultra violet energy. The cured UV polymer is removed from the cylindrical rotatable mandrel.
Abstract:
The presently disclosed embodiments relate in general to electrophotographic imaging members, such as layered photoreceptor structures, and processes for making and using the same. More particularly, the embodiments pertain to an improved photoreceptor that exhibits little to no response to injected charges and demonstrates excellent ghosting properties.
Abstract:
Various embodiments provide methods and apparatus for forming intermediate transfer belts (ITBs) by combining a dip-coating process with a UV-curing process.
Abstract:
A method for communicating in a low power communication network, a corresponding low power communication network system and a network node, where the method enables low power consumption by the data transmission node in the low power communication network while ensuring the low power communication network communicates efficiently. The network comprises a first network node and a second network node, where the first network node transmits a beacon frame that is used to indicate the time for data transmission by the first network node, and the second network node detects the beacon frame to synchronize its data transmission with the first network node.
Abstract:
In accordance with an embodiment, a structure comprises a substrate having a first area and a second area; a through substrate via (TSV) in the substrate penetrating the first area of the substrate; an isolation layer over the second area of the substrate, the isolation layer having a recess; and a conductive material in the recess of the isolation layer, the isolation layer being disposed between the conductive material and the substrate in the recess.
Abstract:
