20090071868 | Carrier Tape Segment Including Mechanical Interlocking Features Thereon - A carrier tape segment to carry a microelectronic component thereon. The carrier tape segment includes a tape segment body having a head portion and a tail portion, and a component carrying portion between the head portion and the tail portion. The head portion includes a first mechanical interlocking feature thereon. The tail portion includes a second mechanical interlocking feature thereon. The first mechanical interlocking feature is configured to mechanically interlock with a mechanical interlocking feature belonging to a separate carrier tape segment and shaped similarly to the second mechanical interlocking feature, and the second mechanical interlocking feature is configured to mechanically interlock with a mechanical interlocking feature belonging to a separate carrier tape segment and shaped similarly to the first mechanical interlocking feature. The carrier tape segment is thereby configured to be linked to other carrier tape segments to form a carrier tape chain therewith. | 03-19-2009 |
20090081014 | INVERTIBLE FRONT OPENING UNIFIED POD - A front opening unified pod (FOUP) for holding wafers is invertible and compatible with process machines in an inverted orientation. The FOUP can safely transport and store wafers while in a non-upright orientation. The shelves within the FOUP are capable of collapsing and constraining the wafers. Further, a method of holding wafers for processing is provided. | 03-26-2009 |
20090124067 | METHOD TO DECREASE THIN FILM TENSILE STRESSES RESULTING FROM PHYSICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION - A method and apparatus for a backside metallization of a wafer is provided. The wafer comprised of a first substance is bent by creating tension on a backside and creating compression on a front side prior to deposition of a thin film of a second substance. After deposition, the wafer is released and the thin film deposited on the wafer exhibits less tensile stress than if the thin film was deposited on a flat wafer. | 05-14-2009 |

20080246296 | Static-Reducing Vehicle Seat - A vehicle seat is provided having at least one seat cushion for carrying a vehicle occupant, and having a static-reducing device positioned in sufficient proximity to the occupant for dissipating an electrostatic charge from the seat. The static-reducing device includes conductive threading woven into the seat cushion or into piping along the seat cushion seams, conductive wiring connected to the base to form a conductive path for dissipating the electrostatic charge, or a humidity-absorbing layer. A vehicle is also provided having a floor and a vehicle seat having a cushion and a base mounted to the floor. The cushion is operatively connected to the base and has a static-reducing device adapted to reduce electrostatic charge of the seat to thereby minimize the electrostatic discharge between the seat and a passenger when the passenger exits the vehicle, the static-reducing device including conductive threading, conductive wiring, or a humidity-absorbing mat. | 10-09-2008 |
