The Co-electroplating Sn-Bi Alloy Solder for 3D-IC Low Temperature Bonding The extensive exploration and refinement of bismuth electroplating recipes has been instrumental in achieving a bismuth film with desirable properties for subsequent electrodeposition processes. The adjusted recipe resulted in a bismuth electrodeposited (Bi EPD) layer with robust adhesion to the copper substrate. |
| Gold Medal | Ms Yuelin Wang Mr Ziqi Wang |
Automatic Diamond Colour Grading The automated diamond colour-grading machine evaluates diamond colour grades with an accuracy of +/-0.5 colour grade. This invention includes a continuous line of automated processes and machines to evaluate the colour grade of sample diamonds without the need for human colour evaluation. |
| Bronze Medal | Dr Tao Yu Dr Qijun Zhu |
System and Method for AI Banner Generation Combining Design Intelligence and Data Intelligence The invention provides a MMKG (Multi-Modal Knowledge Graph) based AI solution framework for personalised banner creation and recommendation with evaluations by assigning them one or more numeric scores, combining design intelligence and data intelligence. |
The 4th Asia Exhibition of Innovations & Inventions Hong Kong, jointly organised by the Hong Kong Exporters’ Association and Palexpo (organiser of the International Exhibition of Inventions Geneva), serves as a platform for showcasing Asia’s cutting-edge technologies and innovations.
