摘要:
A photosensitive imaging device for recording images across the entire visible spectrum includes a set of photosensors which have a peak response around the orange part of the spectrum, about 600 nm. The peak response is obtained by combining responses of, in one case, photosensors associated with a filter which admits red or infrared wavelengths and longer and photosensors associated with a filter which admits orange wavelengths and longer. In another case, the photosensor is structured to attenuate longer wavelengths, which, in combination with a filter which admits orange and longer wavelengths, can simulate a peak behavior around the orange part of the spectrum.
摘要:
A wafer design and dicing technique for creating semiconductor chips from wafers. A succession of oxide layers are deposited in first and second regions of a surface of a silicon substrate. The regions are separated by a street having no oxide layers therein, and the successive oxide layers form a vertical wall with a surface normal to the surface of the silicon substrate. A shock-absorbent material is deposited in the street, forming a concave meniscus therein. The shock-absorbent material retards the trajectories of silicon particles set into motion when the wafer is diced into chips.

The present invention relates to a sensor cover glass for covering photosensitive chips for generating electrical signals from an original image, as would be found for example in a digital scanner, copier, facsimile machine, or other digital imaging device or system. More specifically, the present invention relates to providing a sensor cover glass with an infrared filter material for blocking infrared light from reaching the photosensitive chips. This system is particularly applicable to color input imaging devices or systems.

The present invention relates to electro optical devices with a reduced filter thinning on the edge pixels and a method for reducing the thinning of filter layers on the pixels closest to the edge of an electro optical device such as a photosensitive chip, as would be used, for example, in a full-color digital copier or scanner. A semiconductor wafer includes a main surface defining a plurality of chip areas and tab regions separated by grooves, wherein the chip areas include inner photosites, outer photosites and bonding pads. A plurality of dams are deposited over the main surface in the tab regions, and a clear layer is deposited over the main surface exclusive of the bonding pads. Alternatively, a clear layer is deposited over the main surface exclusive of the bonding pads, and a plurality of tabs is then deposited in the tab regions on the main surface. A first primary color filter layer is deposited over at least first inner photosite and first outer photosite, and the first primary color filter layer transmits a primary color.

Semiconductor chips, such as photosensor arrays for a full-page-width scanner or printhead chips for a full-page-width ink-jet printer, are mounted on a substrate to maintain reasonably consistent spacing among adjacent chips. To remove a defective chip from the array, the substrate is urged evenly against a work surface defining a convex bow. Alternately, back-cuts are provided along abutting edges of the chips, and the silicon around these back-cuts can be sawed away to space defective chips from neighboring good chips.

In a photosensitive chip suitable for full-color imaging, separate photosites on the chip correspond to different primary colors in an original image. Each primary-color photosite is filtered with a polyimide doped to a particular primary color. The red-filtering layer and the blue-filtering layer are left on the non-photosensitive portions of the main surface of the chip, and together serve as a non-reflective area which prevents stray reflections from the chip. The chip is further provided with a base layer of infrared-filtering polyimide.
摘要:
An improved process for forming individual dies having faces that allow the dies to be assembled against other like dies to form one and/or two dimensional scanning arrays with minimal chipping and fracturing wherein the active side of a wafer is etched to form separation grooves with the wall of the grooves adjoining the die presenting a relatively wide surface to facilitate sawing, wide grooves are cut in the inactive side of the wafer opposite each separation grooves, and the wafer cut by sawing along the separation grooves, the saw being located so that the side of the saw blade facing the die is aligned with the midpoint of the wide wall so that on sawing the bottom half of the wall and the remainder of the grooves are obliterated leaving the top half of the wall to prevent cracking and chipping during sawing.

A process for forming individual dies having faces that allow the dies to be assembled against other like dies to form one and/or two dimensional scanning arrays wherein the active side of a wafer is etched to form small V-shaped grooves defining the die faces, relatively wide grooves are cut in the inactive side of the wafer opposite each V-shaped groove, and the wafer cut by sawing along the V-shaped grooves, the saw being located so that the side of the saw blade facing the die is aligned with the bottom of the V-shaped groove so that there is retained intact one side of the V-shaped groove to intercept and prevent cracks and chipping caused by sawing from damaging the die active surface and any circuits thereon.
摘要:
The present invention is concerned with a switching element comprised of oppositely disposed conductive fiber brushes and/or brush-like elements for detecting the presence or absence of paper at various locations in a xerographic copy machine. The oppositely disposed brushes are made from poly-acrylo-nitrile, a carbon based polymer material, which can be fabricated with relatively low values of resistance. Typical fiber bundles may consist of 6000 individual fibers each of 6-10 microns in diameter. In operation each individual conductive fiber acts as a separate electrical path through which the external circuit is completed. Passage of paper through the "nip" of the fiber to fiber electrical contact opens the circuit which is easily detected through associated circuitry which indicates the presence of paper. Likewise, arrays incorporating multiple such sensor switches may be fabricated for the purpose of indicating the size of the document interrupting specific low resistance fiber-fiber switches.
