Title: Method and device to avoid interrupting BIOS update by unintentionally pressing the reset key
Inventor: CHEN YU-GUANG
IPC: G06F1/24
Filed: 2000-05-24
Granted: 2002-02-21
Abstract: There are provided a method and a device to avoid interrupting BIOS update by unintentionally pressing the reset key. When the BIOS is performs data updating, the chipset issues an inhibition signal to the logic device to inhibit the reset command issued by the reset device. When the BIOS does not perform data updating or completes the data updating, the chipset issues a non-inhibition signal to the logic device to enable the reset command issued by the reset device, thereby performing the operation of resetting the system. Accordingly, it is able to avoid the generation of reset due to inputting a reset signal, which interrupts the update of BIOS data and results in being unable to normally power on for starting.

Title: Data transmission method and data transmission device
Inventor: MIYOSHI KENGO
IPC: G06F13/00
Filed: 2000-06-01
Granted: 2003-08-11
Abstract: The invention targets at reducing the bus noise of uploading high frequency modulated signal in wide range local area network (LAN). It is a LAN-based bus noise data transmission method eliminating the CATV system. Install the data transmission apparatus 60 which is in serial with upper cable modem 61 and lower cable modem 62 at portal of compound apartment network 50. With lower cable modem 62, the uploading high frequency modulated signal is temporally changed to Ethernet baseband signal and the Ethernet baseband signal is again modulated and sent out by the upper cable modem 51. As bus noise is in form of analog signal, it can be eliminated by such conversion. Using this method can improve data transmission quality, even the compound apartment with more bus noise can also form LAN.

Title: Inspection of edge periods of two-dimensional periodic structures
Inventor: SENDER BEN ZION
IPC: G01N21/88
Filed: 2000-07-13
Granted: 2006-01-21
Abstract: A method for comparing periodic structures, such as wafer dies, by obtaining signals from the images of two swaths of the wafer dies. The signals for each wafer die are then compared to at least the signals from the two nearest neighbor dies. Preferably, these two neighbor dies are located on either side of the die, in the same row as that die. However, for edge dies, at least one neighbor die is located in another row, preferably an adjacent row. Since images are taken from an even number of swaths by the camera in a first row of dies before images are taken from a similar number of swaths in a second row of dies, the camera (and hence the resultant image) is correctly oriented for obtaining signals from the swaths in the second row of dies. This permits the correct comparison of signals obtained from the first swath of the first row of dies to signals obtained from the first swath of the second row of dies. Therefore, the images are correctly aligned, such that the comparison of the signals obtained from an edge die of the first row to the signals obtained from an edge die of the second row is accurate. Thus, the method enables defects at edge dies to be detected with no loss in throughput and with maximal detection sensitivity.

Title: Optimal offset, pad size and pad shape for CMP buffing and polishing
Inventor: HARVEY ELLIS G
IPC: B24B37/013
Filed: 2000-12-20
Granted: 2003-02-11
Abstract: An improvement to chemical-mechanical polishing. The improvement includes using a buffing pad having a geometrically optimized shape along with optimizing the buff head diameter, offset O and overlay L. In one embodiment, the buffing pad is smaller than the buff head and is mounted eccentrically. In another embodiment, the buffing pad has a generally square outer shape. In another embodiment, the buff pad is circular and is the same size as the circular buff head. In another embodiment, the buffing pad has at least three radially extending arms. The optimal configuration is determined iteratively for a selected process by changing the buffing pad shape, buff head diameter, the offset and the overlay. For example, increasing the offset generally tends to increase the removal rate toward the edge of the wafer. Increasing the overlap generally tends to increase the removal rate toward the center of the wafer. Removing portions of the buffing pad near the pad's edge tends to decrease the removal rate over the entire wafer radius but more so near the center and the edge of the wafer. By empirically testing various configurations, the optimal configuration can be found for a particular application.

Granted: 2002-03-21
Abstract: A solder ball inspecting method and equipment for ball grid array package is provided for determining the quality of each solder ball formed by the ball grid array package and automatically rejecting unqualified solder ball. The characteristic of the solder ball inspecting method and equipment is to introduce a specially made rotating disk, in which plurality of block sheets with constant interval is disposed circumferentially. A special braking torque, which is equivalent to or less than the adhesion strength of qualified solder ball and is larger than the adhesion strength of unqualified solder ball, is preset in the disk. When the qualified solder ball touches the blocking sheet, the blocking sheet can be pushed and hence the inspecting station is passed since a traverse tangential force larger than the driving torque force of the disk can be provided by the adhesion strength. On the other hand, the unqualified solder ball can be rejected by the reverse force from the blocking sheet since it can not push the blocking sheet.
