20130050689 | Large Particle Detection For Multi-Spot Surface Scanning Inspection Systems - The illumination power density of a multi-spot inspection system is adjusted in response to detecting a large particle in the inspection path of an array of primary illumination spots. At least one low power, secondary illumination spot is located in the inspection path of an array of relatively high power primary illumination spots. Light scattered from the secondary illumination spot is collected and imaged onto one or more detectors without overheating the particle and damaging the wafer. Various embodiments and methods are presented to distinguish light scattered from secondary illumination spots. In response to determining the presence of a large particle in the inspection path of a primary illumination spot, a command is transmitted to an illumination power density attenuator to reduce the illumination power density of the primary illumination spot to a safe level before the primary illumination spot reaches the large particle. | 02-28-2013 |

20090133807 | Method And Apparatus For Sealing A Glass Package - An apparatus for sealing a substrate assembly by applying a force to the assembly while simultaneously exposing the substrate assembly, and in particular a sealing material disposed between two substrates of the substrate assembly, to an irradiating beam of electromagnetic energy. The beam heats, cures and/or melts the sealing material, depending upon the sealing material to form the seal. The force is applied by directing a flow of fluid against the substrate assembly, and beneficially improves contact between the substrates of the substrate assembly and the sealing material during the sealing process, therefore assisting in achieving a hermetic seal between the substrates. | 05-28-2009 |
20090295044 | Method For Marking Ceramic Structures - A method is provided for marking a structure containing an ceramic-forming component by applying onto a green body a high temperature ink that has a metal-containing species and a metal complexing agent, wherein the metal in the metal-containing species reacts with the ceramic-forming component during firing of the green body to produce a compound that forms a contrasting mark on the resulting ceramic structure. A method is also provided for marking a ceramic-forming green body by applying a two-dimensional dot matrix mark formed of a high temperature ink onto a surface of the ceramic-forming green body, wherein each dot of the two-dimensional dot matrix is formed of a single drop of the high temperature ink. | 12-03-2009 |
