Title: Jack C. Lane: Semiconductor Packaging and Optical Alignment Inventions.
Introduction
Jack C. Lane is an inventor based in Saratoga, California. His work includes inventions related to optical alignment equipment and semiconductor packaging. He holds 2 patents.
Latest Patents
Lane’s patents address two distinct engineering challenges.
“Locking mechanism for use in a chuck for an optical alignment” describes a locking device for a chuck used in optical alignment and exposure equipment. The device uses pairs of flexible blades, stationary elements, and vacuum cups. When the cups are evacuated, the blades clamp against the stationary elements to secure the chuck.
“Two part package for a semiconductor die” describes a method for connecting semiconductor dice directly to external package leads. Groups of leads are pressed against bonding pads on face-up dice and heated. Hard pedestals within solder bumps help prevent the leads from pressing into the semiconductor surfaces as the solder melts and forms bonds. The patent describes a process intended to reduce packaging costs and improve reliability.
Career Highlights
