Abstract:
A method is provided for making of interconnect solder bumps on a wafer or other electronic device without depositing any significant amount of tin or other solder component from the solder onto the wafer surface which tin can cause shorts or other defects in the wafer. The method is particularly useful for well-known C4NP interconnect technology. In one aspect of the invention, a reducing gas flow rate is used to remove oxides from the solder surfaces and wafer pad surfaces and is of a sufficient determined or pre-determined flow and/or chamber or mold/wafer spacing to provide a gas velocity across the solder surfaces and wafer pad surfaces so that Sn or other contaminants do not deposit on the wafer surface during solder transfer. In another aspect, the transfer contact is performed below the melting point of the solder and subsequently heated to above the melting temperature while in transfer contact. The heated solder in contact with the wafer pads is transferred to the wafer pads.
Abstract:
A modular cassette cutter design with a unique blade retention system for making multiple, simultaneous cuts in elongated strip material. The blades are retained so that they can be individually replaced. The blade hardware is made accessible from one side of the tool for easy replacement. The cassette modules lend themselves for easy accommodation to different types of gasket material and shapes. The cassette module cutters are easily interchangeable to make end cuts or corner cuts, and may be combined in a single press to make different cuts simultaneously. Prefabricated gaskets may be cut using data from linear measurements of cover designs.

Abstract:
A disposal device for clamping, cutting and taking blood samples from an unbilical cord of a newly born infant. When the device is closed around an umbilical cord the cord is compressed and two separate pairs of clamping jaws are locked onto the cord. Further compression of the device severs the cord between two clamps and ejects the clamp which retains the infant's end of the unbilical cord. The jaws holding the mother's end of the cord can be opened enough to allow blood samples to be taken while still holding the cord firmly. The present invention comprises a double jaw clamping mechanism which incorporates a releasable locking means, a double jaw fetal end cord clamp which separates from the body of the device and remains locked to the fetal end of the cord, and a hinged holder containing a blade for severing the cord.
