Inventor: VELD FREDERIK H IN T
IPC: H01L23/12
Filed: 2003-07-31
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a packaged semiconductor device comprising subjecting a metal carrier provided with at least one semiconductor crystal, the semiconductor crystal being provided with an encapsulation, to a singulation step in a dicing apparatus that is provided with a dicing blade comprising diamond grains, in which singulation step the dicing blade cuts, while being cooled with a cooling fluid, through the encapsulation and the metal carrier so as to singulate the at least one semiconductor device, characterized by applying a friction force reducing cooling fluid during the singulation step. Preferably a dicing blade of sintered metal with sharp cleaving diamond grains is used, the sharp cleaving diamond grains being applied in the dicing blade in a concentration smaller than or equal to a maximum concentration, which maximum concentration is defined by the concentration at which the mutual distance between the diamond grains that contribute to the cutting is just large enough to allow removal of substantially all sawing debris. The metal carrier is preferably provided with various features to reduce the amount of metal to be cutted and to prevent vibrations of the metal during the cutting.

Title: Apparatus and method for controlling etch depth
Inventor: VENUGOPAL VIJAYAKUMAR C
IPC: H01L21/00
Filed: 2003-09-18
Abstract: An apparatus and method for etching a feature in a wafer with improved depth control and reproducibility is described. The feature is etched at a first etching rate and then at a second etching rate, which is slower than the first etching rate. An optical end point device is used to determine the etching depth and etching is stopped so that the feature has the desired depth. Two different etching rates provides high throughput with good depth control and reproducibility. The apparatus includes an etching tool in which a chuck holds the wafer to be etched. An optical end point device is positioned to measure the feature etch depth. An electronic controller communicates with the optical end point device and the etching tool to control the tool to reduce the etch rate part way through etching the feature and to stop the etching tool, so that that the feature is etched to the desired depth.

Title: Toilet cistern filling valve
Inventor: HASLAM JAMES CHURCHILL
IPC: F16K31/34
Filed: 2004-03-08
Abstract: This invention provides a pressure assisted valve for filling toilet cisterns. The valve has a chamber with an inlet and an annular outlet around the inlet. A diaphragm closure member is located over the inlet and outlet with its upper surface exposed to the chamber. Located through the diaphragm is an axially movable pintle and a chamber vent opening from the chamber is closable by an enlarged upper end of the pintle. The pintle is has longitudinal ribs on its outer surface to provide a bleed passage past the diaphragm. The lower end of the pintle is supported in a perforated guide in the inlet which is resiliently biased to close the enlarged end of the pintle against the chamber vent opening. A control spindle extends through the chamber vent opening from the enlarged end of the pintle. A manipulating mechanism acts on the spindle to move the pintle to open the chamber vent opening. The valve makes use of differential surfaces on the diaphragm to control the flow of water from the inlet to the outlet.
