International Classification:

A61B 17/32

US Classification:

606170, 607122

Abstract:

International Classification:

H01L 23/31
H01L 23/22

Abstract:

Embodiments described herein may be related to apparatuses, processes, and techniques for a dam structure on a substrate that is proximate to a die coupled with the substrate, where the dam decreases the risk of die shift during encapsulation material flow over the die during the manufacturing process. The dam structure may fully encircle the die. During encapsulation material flow, the dam structure creates a cavity that moderates the different flow rates of material that otherwise would exert different pressures the sides of the die and cause to die to shift its position on the substrate. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

International Classification:

H01L 21/677

Abstract:

In accordance with an exemplary embodiment a semiconductor workpiece processing system having at least one processing tool for processing semiconductor workpieces, a container for holding at least one semiconductor workpiece therein for transport to and from the at least one processing tool and a first transport section elongated and defining a travel direction. The first transport section has parts, that interface the container, supporting and transporting the container along the travel direction to and from the at least one processing tool. The container is in substantially continuous transport at a substantially constant rate in the travel direction, when supported by the first transport section. A second transport section is connected to the at least one process tool for transporting the container to and from the at least one processing tool.

Inventors:

- Fremont CA, US
Al Mirel - Redwood City CA, US
Robert May - Hayward CA, US

Assignee:

Spine View, Inc. - Fremont CA

International Classification:

A61B 17/3205

US Classification:

606180

Abstract:

A tissue removal device may comprise a handle portion and a tissue removal mechanism coupled to the handle portion. The tissue removal mechanism may include a tubular member having a lumen therethrough and an elongate member rotatably and slidably disposed within the lumen of the tubular member. A proximal end of the elongate member may be coupled to a drive source to impart rotational movement thereof. A distal end of the elongate member may include an impeller for cutting tissue. The elongate member may be configured to exit the distal end of the lumen of the first tubular member, such that the distal end of the second tubular member is distal to the distal end of the first tubular member. The impeller may include a blunt distal end to minimize undesirable tissue damage when the distal end of the elongate member is distal to the distal end of the tubular member.
