Patent number: 11869783Abstract: One or more processors determine a predicted sorting bin of a semiconductor device, based on measurement and test data performed on the semiconductor device subsequent to a current metallization layer. A current predicted sorting bin and a target sorting bin are determined by a machine learning model for the semiconductor device; the target bin include higher performance semiconductor devices than the predicted sorting bin. The model determines a performance level improvement attainable by adjustments made to process parameters of subsequent metallization layers of the semiconductor device. Adjustments to process parameters are generated, based on measurement and test data of the current metallization layer of semiconductor device, and the adjustment outputs for the process parameters of the subsequent metallization layers of the semiconductor device are made available to the one or more subsequent metallization layer processes by a feed-forward mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2021Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Benjamin D. Briggs, Lawrence A. Clevenger, Nicholas A. Lanzillo, Michael Rizzolo, Theodorus E. Standaert, James Stathis

Patent number: 11105856Abstract: Methods and systems of detecting chip degradation are described. A processor may execute a test on a device at a first time, where the test includes executable instructions for the device to execute a task under specific conditions relating to a performance attribute. The processor may receive performance data indicating a set of outcomes from the task executed by the device during the test. The processor may determine a first value of a parameter of the performance attribute based on the identified subset. The processor may compare the first value with a second value of the parameter of the performance attribute. The second value is based on an execution of the test on the device at a second time. The processor may determine a degradation status of the device based on the comparison of the first value with the second value.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2018Date of Patent: August 31, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Emily A.

Patent number: 10125533Abstract: Taught here is a small frangible shim with handle for fine tune leveling which is wedge shaped, and pre-scored to enable an unneeded portion to be easily removed during use. Such shims are used in the construction industry utilized for adjusting the spacing of various construction members. The shim may be fashioned from any suitable material to provide stability, ease of use, and ease of manufacture. Further, the shim contains surfaces with properties of both friction to retain the shim in place once deployed and smoothness to allow the shim to slide easily into position. The shim taught here is small compared with existing shims for use in situations where delicate, fine-tune adjustments of leveling is desired.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2017Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Inventor: James Stathis
