  • Publication number: 20200192713
    Abstract: Methods, non-transitory machine readable media, and computing devices that more efficiently and effectively manage storage quota enforcement are disclosed. With this technology, a quota ticket comprising a tally generation number (TGN) and a local allowed usage amount (AUA) are obtained. The local AUA comprises a portion of a global AUA associated with a quota rule. The local AUA is increased following receipt of another portion of the global AUA in a response from a cluster peer, when another TGN in the response matches the TGN and the local AUA is insufficient to execute a received storage operation associated with the quota rule. The local AUA is decreased by an amount corresponding to, and following execution of, the storage operation, when the increased local AUA is sufficient to execute the storage operation.

  • Publication number: 20200089120
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present application are directed towards an edge-exposure tool with a light emitting diode (LED), as well as a method for edge exposure using a LED. In some embodiments, the edge-exposure tool comprises a process chamber, a workpiece table, a LED, and a controller. The workpiece table is in the process chamber and is configured to support a workpiece covered by a photosensitive layer. The LED is in the process chamber and is configured to emit radiation towards the workpiece. A controller is configured to control the LED to expose an edge portion of the photosensitive layer, but not a center portion of the photosensitive layer, to the radiation emitted by the LED. The edge portion of the photosensitive layer extends along an edge of the workpiece in a closed path to enclose the center portion of the photosensitive layer.

  • Patent number: 10283457
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates a method of forming substrate identification marks. In some embodiments, the method may be performed by forming a photosensitive material over a substrate. A first type of electromagnetic radiation is selectively provided to the photosensitive material to expose a plurality of substrate identification marks within the photosensitive material, and a second type of electromagnetic radiation is selectively provided to the photosensitive material to expose one or more alignment marks within the photosensitive material. Exposed portions of the photosensitive material are removed to form a patterned photosensitive material. The substrate is etched according to the patterned photosensitive material to form recesses within the substrate that are defined by the plurality of substrate identification marks and the one or more alignment marks.

  • Patent number: 10283456
    Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates a lithographic substrate marking tool. The lithographic substrate marking tool has a first lithographic exposure tool arranged within a shared housing and configured to generate a first type of electromagnetic radiation during a plurality of exposures. A mobile reticle has a plurality of different reticle fields respectively configured to block a portion of the first type of electromagnetic radiation to expose a substrate identification mark within a photosensitive material overlying a semiconductor substrate. A transversal element is configured to move the mobile reticle so that separate ones of the plurality of reticle fields are exposed onto the photosensitive material during separate ones of the plurality of exposures.
