Appl. No.:

13/481588

Inventors:

Keren Jacobs Kanarik - Sunnyvale CA, US
Jorge Luque - Redwood City CA, US
Nicholas Webb - San Jose CA, US

Assignee:

Lam Research Corporation - Fremont CA

International Classification:

G01R 31/26

US Classification:

438 14, 257E21525

Abstract:

A method for providing a process indicator for an etching chamber is provided. A wafer with a blanket etch layer is provided into the etching chamber. A blanket etch is performed on the blanket etch layer. A blanket deposition layer is deposited over the blanket etch layer after performing the blanket etch has been completed. A thickness of the blanket etch layer and a thickness of the blanket deposition layer is measured. The measured thicknesses are used to determine a process indicator.

Inventors:

Aleksandar Pance - Saratoga CA, US
Nicholas U. Webb - Menlo Park CA, US
Sean A. Mayo - San Francisco CA, US

Assignee:

Apple Inc. - Cupertino CA

International Classification:

H04B 3/36

US Classification:

3404071

Abstract:

A haptic feedback device configured to provide tactile or haptic feedback for an electronic device. The haptic device includes a platform operably secured to the electronic device to allow rotation about a center axis. An activating member is operably associated with the platform and configured to selectively cause the platform to rotate in a first direction. Also, the haptic feedback device includes a restoring member operably associated with the platform and configured to selectively return the platform to a first position after it has rotated for at least one of a select period of time or a select distance.

Abstract:

Electronic components on a substrate may be shielded using electromagnetic shielding structures. Insulating materials may be used to provide structural support and to help prevent electrical shorting between conductive materials and the components. The shielding structures may include compartments formed using metal fences that surround selected components or by injection molding plastic. The shielding structures may be formed using metal foil wrapped over the components and the substrate. Electronic components may be tested using test posts or traces to identify components that are faulty. The test posts or traces may be deposited on the substrate and may be used to convey test signals between test equipment and the components. After successful testing, the test posts may be permanently shielded. Alternatively, temporary shielding structures may be used to allow testing of individual components before an electronic device is fully assembled.
