摘要:
The present invention provides a new tab structure for a head suspension assembly in a magnetic storage system. In the prior art method of assembly, a harness temporarily holds a wire assembly. The present invention eliminates the need for the harness, thereby reducing the number of parts and steps as well as improving productivity and quality. A flexure of a suspension assembly must be manufactured very precisely. The present invention provides a new tab structure either integral with or separate from the flexure. Wires bridge over to an extension on the tab structure at a predetermined distance from the end of the load beam. Positioning holes, using the extreme flatness of the tab structure, align the wires with the bonding pads of a head. The suspension assembly is subsequently bonded to the head, and the unwanted tab structure is removed to complete the head suspension assembly.

A jig for inspecting the appearance of small parts with an optical microscope, the jig is equipped with a base, having an upper flat surface which becomes a mounting stage of the optical microscope, and is also provided with a member for moving the upper flat surface at least in a direction approximately parallel to a direction of an optical axis of an objective lens of the optical microscope in order to focus the optical microscope on an inspection portion of the small parts mounted on the upper flat surface. The jig is also equipped with an inspection-object supporting portion, provided with a member for supporting the small parts at the predetermined portion on the base. Furthermore, the jig is equipped with reflecting mirrors which have a mirrorlike surface with an inclined angle of approximately 45 degrees to the upper flat surface of the base.

A coating system and method of coating semiconductor wafers is disclosed that is able to maintain a wet condition on the outer portion of the semiconductor wafer to provide ease of spreading for a photo-resist or anti-reflective coating (ARC) that is being dispensed. The system can include a plurality of nozzles on a movable arm. A first nozzle dispenses a pre-wet solvent onto the semiconductor wafer. A second nozzle then dispenses the photo-resist or ARC coating onto the semiconductor wafer. A third nozzle dispenses additional pre-wet solvent onto the outer edge of the semiconductor wafer as the photo-resist or ARC coating is being dispensed. The nozzles dispense solutions onto the semiconductor wafer as it rotates. The system produces semiconductor wafers with few coating defects and uses less photo-resist or ARC coating.

A device (1) for transmitting speech information to the human body, comprising: a microphone (2) for inputting speech from an external source; a speech signal processor (20) that produces a consonant-clarified signal based on the input speech signal; a carrier signal generator (6) that produces a carrier signal; an amplitude modulator (8) that modulates the amplitude of the carrier signal based on the consonant-clarified signal; and a vibrator (12) that transmits mechanical vibrations based on the amplitude-modulated output signal; the speech signal processor (20) comprising: a consonant extracting unit that extracts the consonant parts from the speech signal; and a repetition processing unit that adds the extracted consonant parts to the speech signal to produce a consonant-clarified signal in which each of the consonant parts of the speech signal is repeated two or more times. This speech information transmitting device realizes good discriminability of speech information.

A system and method for dispensing fluid onto a surface during a manufacturing process. A fluid storage container holds a chemical, such as resist, used in a semiconductor lithography process. When not dispensing the chemical over the surface of a wafer, a pump and nozzle dispense the chemical into a dedicated dispense receptacle. A drain and pump may return the contents of the dispense receptacle to the fluid storage container for reuse.
摘要:
Apparatuses and methods for heating semiconductor wafers with high temperature uniformity are described. In particular, rotation of the hot plate and/or wafer during heating operations such as the post exposure bake (PEB) can compensate for non-circular temperature gradients caused by the random generation of air currents and other non-uniform environmental conditions within the oven chamber. Temperature variations caused by these influences, while not easily corrected through zonal heater adjustment alone, are a major determinant of critical dimension control and consequently the overall semiconductor quality.

A plurality of rules is established for correcting critical dimension variations resulting from topography effects associated with predetermined structural combinations. A photoresist mask set is then prepared according to rules corresponding to structural combinations present in a semiconductor device to be manufactured.

摘要:
An oven is described that can more evenly heat the semiconductor wafer, even though the wafer may warp during heating. The oven may provide relatively uniform heating even though the type and location of warping may be unpredictable for any given wafer. The oven may have a heating surface divided into a plurality of heating zones that may each independently provide a given amount of heat to the wafer. The amount of heat provided by each zone may be determined using signals from sensors that sense the warping of the wafer.
