Title: Shih-Wei Hung: Innovator in Semiconductor Technology

Introduction

Shih-Wei Hung is a prominent inventor based in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. He has made significant contributions to the field of semiconductor technology, holding a total of 18 patents. His innovative work focuses on enhancing the capabilities of semiconductor metrology tools and specimen preparation techniques.

Latest Patents

One of Shih-Wei Hung's latest patents is related to atom probe tomography specimen preparation. This patent discloses techniques for preparing an atom probe tomography (APT) specimen directly on a device under test (DUT) region on a wafer. The APT specimen is formed integrally with the substrate, utilizing laser patterning to create a trench and bump structures. Following this, low-kV gas ion milling is employed to shape the bump structures into the APT specimen.

Another notable patent involves detection systems in semiconductor metrology tools. This invention includes a particle generation system designed to analyze samples by removing particles. The system features a local electrode that produces an attractive electric field, directing the removed particles towards an aperture. Additionally, a particle capture device generates a repulsive electric field to further guide the particles, while a position detector determines their coordinates and flight time. The processor then identifies the particles based on this data.
