Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080304734Alignment correction prio to image sampling in inspection systems - A method and apparatus, and variations of each, for inspecting a wafer defining at least one die thereon is disclosed. The present invention first obtains the electronic image equivalent of two die, and then determines the x and y offset between those electronic images. Prior to inspection for defects, those two electronic images are aligned by adjusting the x and y positions of one electronic image of one die with respect to the electronic image of the other die. Once that is accomplished, the those electronic images are compared to detect any defects that may exist on one of the die.12-11-2008

20090008779Composite Carbon Nanotube-Based Structures and Methods for Removing Heat from Solid-State Devices - One embodiment involves an article of manufacture that includes: a copper substrate plug with a front surface and a back surface; a catalyst on top of a single surface of the copper substrate plug; and a thermal interface material on top of the single surface of the copper substrate plug. The thermal interface material comprises: a layer of carbon nanotubes that contacts the catalyst, and a filler material located between the carbon nanotubes. The carbon nanotubes are oriented substantially perpendicular to the single surface of the copper substrate plug. The copper substrate plug is configured to be incorporated in a peripheral structure of a heat spreader or a heat sink. In another embodiment, the thermal interface material is on top of both the top and bottom surfaces of the copper substrate plug.01-08-2009
