Abstract: A novel automatic inspection technique and apparatus is disclosed for differentiating differently colored regions of an object or surface (such as solid state wafers, printed circuit boards, or more general applications for distinguishing regions of one color from their neighboring or surrounding areas of different color), involving the use of at least a pair of separate detectors of light images (CCD cameras preferably) reflected from the object or surface and provided with optical filters of different colors corresponding to the differently colored regions of the object or surface ; and an electronic filtering processing by multiplying the detector signals by different weighting coefficients selected to maximize the ratio between the filter responses to optimize signal contrast, and then linearly summing the multiplexed signals. Independence from wide light intensity variations and in color variations in the production or processing of the object is thereby obtained.

IPC: H01L21/30
Filed: 1993-04-22
Abstract: Complex metal structures are formed in microminiature dimensions utilizing multiple mask exposures which are capable of producing substantially arbitrary three-dimensional shapes. A first layer of a primary metal is electroplated onto an exposed plating base to fill a void in a photoresist, the photoresist is removed, and a secondary metal, which can constitute a sacrificial metal, is electroplated over the first layer and the plating base. The exposed surface of the deposited secondary metal is then machined down to a height which exposes the first metal to produce a substantially flat, uniform surface extending across both the primary and secondary metals. The secondary metal facilitates machining of the primary and secondary metals because of these mechanical stability provided by the secondary metal to the primary metal. After the first layers of the primary and secondary metals have been machined, another photoresist layer can be applied over the primary and secondary metals, and a second layer of primary metal is electroplated. A further layer of secondary metal can be also electroplated if desired. The process of machining and electroplating can be repeated until the desired structure is formed. Secondary metal is removed by an etchant which does not etch the primary metal.

Abstract: An electrostatic discharge protection (ESD) device for a connector associated with an integrated circuit chip, particularly one associated with a thermal ink-jet printhead. A MOS field effect device (60) extends along at least one edge of the connector (32) on the chip. A bipolar transistor (66-70), parasitic to the field effect device (60), conducts current from the connector (32) to ground (52) in response to a voltage between the connector (32) and ground (52) in excess of a predetermined threshold. A zone (90) of a predetermined electrical resistance is operatively disposed between the bipolar transistor (66-70) and ground (52). The zone (90) may substantially encircle (Fig 4) the bonding pad (32) of the connector to evenly distribute local incidences of high voltage. The invention enables integrated circuits to pass ESD requirements of office products, which is 15kV by Human Body Model testing.
