2. Description of the Prior Art
Because of Internet, the lifestyle has changed at an astonishing pace. It is much more convenient when we dealing with some routines. For instance, people gradually tend to write mails without pens and papers since using e-mail is much faster and cheaper than ever. There are some other specific examples about the application of Internet in daily life, such as electronic bank, electronic commerce, Internet shop, reporting one's liable taxation on Internet, and etc.
Among them the electronic commerce plays a decisive role in enterprises. Since the efficiency is highly demanded, the tolerance of consuming time is greatly reduced. The real time communication property of Internet makes itself become an important way to improve efficiency. Moreover, besides emphasizing the speediness of Internet, the enterprises are devoted to electronic inner control, and many important documents, data and messages have been stored in computers. Because these computers and severs are connected by the intranet, if the internal information can be linked to external network appropriately, companies can save a lot of money for higher commercial efficiency. Hence, no matter in electronic commerce or electronic inner control, the system integration is one of the essential targets.
By integrating the internal system of enterprises and the external Internet, electronic commerce can provide prompt and perfect service. The speed of electronic commerce is much faster than that of traditional business, so it becomes popular soon after presented to the public. For service providers, the integration of inner system resource simplifies the operation procedure and reduces the demand for human resource, and therefore saves a lot of money. Accordingly, not only the customers favor electronic commerce, but also the enterprises benefit from it, and this makes the spread of electronic commerce wider and rapider.
Moreover, in order to ensure the electronic components conforming to electrical criterion, the electrical analyzing is adopted when developing products. The value of RLC (R: resistance, L: inductance, C: capacitance) can be analyzing in early stages, and the optimization design can be obtained efficiently as well. Hence, the analysis of IC package is very important in the industry of semiconductor. However, the traditional way of entrusting analyzing wastes considerable time in the process of data transmission and personnel handling. That reduces the whole commercial benefit.
The object of this invention is to provide an entrusting system for analyzing electrical data. The IC package information can be transferred through Internet, and the analyzing can be done and the clients can be informed with the result automatically because of system automation integration.

A report form generator is utilized to generate the report form of analyzing result and a replying means is used to send the report forms to the clients.
This invention also discloses a method for automatic analyzing electrical data through Internet which comprises following steps: clients using web browser to input the IC package parameters for analyzing, and then the IC package parameters being transferred to a working database for storing through Internet. A process controller accesses the IC package parameters from the working database and condition parameters relative to the IC package parameters from a condition parameter database. The process controller transfers the IC package parameters and the condition parameters to an electrical simulation and analyzing software for simulating and analyzing. The electrical simulation and analyzing software transfers the analyzing result to a report form generator for generating the report form of analyzing result. The report form generator transfers the report form to reply means and the reply means sends the report form to the clients.
Further scope of the applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description given hereinafter. However, it should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the an from this detailed description.
The present invention will become more hilly understood from the detailed description given hereinbelow and the accompanying drawings which are given by way of illustration only, and thus are not limitative of the present invention, and wherein:
The present invention discloses an Internet automatic electrical data system. It can accept the order of clients, and analyze the electrical property of input IC package parameters. All the processes are done automatically, that is, no employee is needed throughout the operation. Besides, the report form of result would be sent to the clients automatically. In this way, it can save the maximum time. The following is the illustration of the system of this invention.
The working database 101 stores the information about the IC package entrusted by the clients 100. A process controller 102 accesses the IC package parameters inputted by the clients 100 from the working database 101 and other needed condition parameters in accordance with the type of IC package entrusted by clients 100 from a condition parameter database 103. Because the number of IC package types depends on the content of the condition parameter database 103, the additions and deletions of the supported IC package types can be implemented by the modification of this database, even though the types available in this preferred example are BGA (ball grid array), BCC, QFP, SOP, QFN (quad flat no-lead), Flip Chip, CSP (chip scale package), and WLCSP (wafer level chip scale package). Hence, those who are familiar with ordinary skills of this field would appreciate the modification of the IC package types and other parameters provided by the system would not affect the spirit and scope of this invention.
The process controller 102 transfers the IC package parameters entrusted by clients 100 and the condition parameters accessed from the condition parameter database 103 to a built-in electrical simulation and analyzing software 104 for simulating and analyzing. The electrical simulation and analyzing software 104 would construct a three-dimensional model according to the data from process controller 102, and calculate the value of resistance (R), inductance (L), and capacitance (C).
In this preferred example, the formulas for the foregoing RLC values are described as follows:
, CL=CS+Cm (F/mm),
and Cm=CL−CS (F/mm); wherein Ls is the self-inductance, Lm is the mutual inductance, CL is the load capacitance, Cm is the mutual capacitance, D is the diameter, Φ12 is the magnetic flux, I is the electric current, σ is the conductance coefficient, ρ is the thermal resistance coefficient, μ0 is the induction coefficient, ε0 is the dielectric coefficient, and π is the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle. The value of conductance coefficient, thermal resistance coefficient, induction coefficient, and the dielectric coefficient depend on the material of IC, and the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle is a constant.
These obtained values are transferred to a report form generator 105, and the generator 105 would create a report form of result. This report form of result is transferred to a reply means 106, and the reply means 106 would send it to the clients 100 in e-mail through Internet. However, although the transmission way in this preferred example adopts e-mail, it is not a limitation, that is to say, other ways for communication, such as fax, can be included in the scope of this invention, too. Those who are familiar with ordinary skills of this field would appreciate the modification the transmission way would not affect the spirit and scope of this invention.
In this preferred example, the supported IC package types comprise BGA (ball grid array), BCC, QFP, SOP, QFN (quad flat no-lead), Flip Chip, CSP (chip scale package), and WLCSP (wafer level chip scale package). The function of the condition parameter database 103 is to store these necessary condition parameters of IC packages, and these condition parameters would be analyzed along with the parameters provided by clients. Those who are familiar with ordinary skills of this field would appreciate the additions and deletions of the IC package types supported by the system of this invention would not affect the spirit and scope of this invention. Hence, the enterprises can update the content of the condition parameter database 103 any time to meet the demand of industry, to follow the development of technology, and to reach the highest economical efficiency.
Sequentially, the process controller 102 transfers the IC package parameters from clients along with condition parameters from condition parameter database 103 to the built-in electrical simulation and analyzing software 104 of this system for simulating and analyzing (203). The electrical simulation and analyzing software 104 would construct a three-dimensional model according to the IC package parameters from clients and condition parameters from condition parameter database 103, and calculate the value of resistance (R), inductance (L), and capacitance (C).
The formulas for the foregoing RLC values in this preferred example are
CL=CS+Cm (F/mm),
and Cm=CL−CS (F/mm).
When the calculation is finished, the result would be transferred to the report form generator 105 of this system. The report form generator 105 creates a report from of result according to the analyzed data (204). Thus report form of result is then transferred to the reply means 106 of this system (205), and the reply means 106 applies e-mail to send the report form of result to the clients immediately and automatically (206). The way to transfer report form of result in this preferred example adopts e-mail, but it is not a limitation, that is to say, other way for communication with the same effect, such as fax, can be included in this invention, too.
The foregoing steps are processed automatically by this system. From the clients inputting the order to receiving the report form of result, no employee is needed throughout the process. In this way, the speed to deal with the entrusting order would increase and the money for personnel can be saved, thus both the service providers and the users benefit from this invention.
The invention being thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
