    摘要: An optical or optoelectroronic component is mounted to a substrate, and an optical thumbtack is inserted into a through-hole of the substrate. The optical thumbtack is positioned to receive light from or send light to the optical or optoelectronic component and provide a conditioned, for example collimated or focused, beam. The optical thumbtack comprises a lens portion, a spacer portion, and a foot portion. Light may enter the thumbtack from either direction.

    摘要: In one embodiment there is provided a method comprising performing a singulation operation on a wafer; and treating the wafer to at least reduce a propagation of micro-cracks formed in the wafer during the singulation. In another embodiment there is provided a semi-conductor die comprising a substrate having a central first portion, and a peripheral second portion around the central first portion; an integrated circuit formed on the central first portion; and a guard ring disposed between the first and second portions of the substrate to prevent a propagation of micro-cracks formed in the second portion into the first portion, the micro-cracks having been formed during a singulation operation to separate the semiconductor die from a wafer, wherein the second portion includes micro-cracks filled with a crack-healing material to arrest propagation of the micro-cracks beyond the ring and into the central first portion.

    摘要: A method of forming a carbon doped oxide layer on a substrate is described. That method comprises introducing into a chemical vapor deposition apparatus a source of carbon, silicon, boron, and oxygen. That apparatus is then operated under conditions that cause a boron containing carbon doped oxide layer to form on the substrate.

    摘要: A method of forming a carbon doped oxide dielectric material on a substrate is described. That method comprises introducing into a chemical vapor deposition apparatus an alkyl oxysilane precursor. That apparatus is then operated under conditions that cause a carbon doped oxide to form on the substrate, while maintaining the substrate temperature at less than about 200° C.
