摘要:
A portable or wearable cytometer that can be used at remote locations, such as in the field or at home. The flow cytometer of the present invention may help improve the healthcare of many weak, sick or elderly people by providing early detection of infection. By detecting the infection early, the infection may be more readily treatable. In military applications, the portable cytometer of the present invention may help save lives by providing early detection of infection due to biological agents.
摘要:
A process for efficiently programming a programmable logic device (PLD) is provided. A basis set for a desired matrix of programming pattern ("pattern matrix") is a set of row patterns from which all the row patterns of the pattern matrix can be derived by applying a Boolean operation on two or more row patterns of the basis set. The disclosed process derives a minimal basis set, i.e., a set with the smallest number of row patterns among basis sets for the given pattern matrix.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for checking the integrity of a device tester used in the manufacture of semiconductor devices. A device tester is used to exercise different aspects of a semiconductor device. The tester is programmed with appropriate control software that fully tests the electrical and functional characteristics of the semiconductor device.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for testing an integrated circuit device. An integrated circuit device undergoes testing in at least two different stages of the manufacturing process. At one stage, the semiconductor wafer containing multiple chip dice is probed by a probe tester that tests each of the dice individually. At another stage, after an individual chip die has been encapsulated in a package, a package tester tests and exercises the functions of the chip.
摘要:
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags are provided, along with apparatuses and methods for making. In some embodiments, the RFID tags include an RFID tag chip that is attached to an inlay and/or a strap. The inlay or strap has one or more contact bumps formed thereon. In some of these embodiments, the RFID tag chip includes pads for electrical contacts, but not chip-bumps, thanks to the contact bump.
摘要:
Manufacturing methods, testing, and RFID integrated circuit wafers that have been so prepared. A function of an integrated circuit can be tested. If the test fails, a control function of the tested circuit is disabled.
摘要:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor integrated circuit includes providing a fabricated integrated circuit on a wafer. A test fixture is connected to unencapsulated pads on the integrated circuit to monitor an operating parameter for the circuit and to determine a unique identifier for the die. The parameter is analyzed in post processing.
摘要:
A plasma processing apparatus and method are disclosed which create a uniform plasma within an enclosure. In one embodiment, a conductive or ferrite material is used to influence a section of the antenna, where a section is made up of portions of multiple coiled segments. In another embodiment, a ferrite material is used to influence a portion of the antenna. In another embodiment, plasma uniformity is improved by modifying the internal shape and volume of the enclosure.
