  • Patent number: 11956971
    Abstract: A fabrication process for an STT MTJ MRAM device includes steps of cooling the device at individual or at multiple stages in its fabrication. The cooling process, which may be equally well applied during the fabrication of other multi-layered devices, is demonstrated to produce an operational device that is more resistant to adverse thermal effects during operation that would normally cause a similar device not so fabricated to lose stored data and otherwise fail to operate properly.

  • Patent number: 11948807
    Abstract: A set of features for a product is identified. It is determined that preventing an electrical connection at a ball-grid-array location on a ball-grid-array assembly of the product would result in the set of features. The ball-grid-array location is established as a target BGA location based on that determination. Suction is applied to a via at the target BGA location during reflow of the ball-grid-array assembly. With that application of suction, a solder ball at the target BGA location is drawn into the via.
