  • Patent number: 11552010
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for providing a dielectric layer on a semiconductor substrate capable of supporting very high density interconnects (i.e., ?100 IO/mm). The dielectric layer includes a maleimide polymer in which a thiol-terminated functional group crosslinks with an epoxy resin. The resultant dielectric material provides a dielectric constant of less than 3 and a dissipation factor of less than 0.001. Additionally, the thiol functional group forms coordination complexes with noble metals present in the conductive structures, thus by controlling the stoichiometry of epoxy to polyimide, the thiol-polyimide may beneficially provide an adhesion enhancer between the dielectric and noble metal conductive structures.

  • Publication number: 20220368719
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a security rating framework that translates compliance requirements to corresponding desired technical configurations to facilitate generation of security ratings for network elements is provided. According to one embodiment, a host network element executes a collection of security checks on at least a first network element. The execution is performed by receiving configuration data of the first network element pertaining to each security check of the collection of security checks in response to a request by the host network element and validating each security check by comparing the received configuration data pertaining to each security check with a pre-defined or configurable network security configuration recommendation to generate a compliance result. Further, the host network element generates a compliance report by aggregating the compliance results obtained by executing each security check of the collection of security checks.
