  • Patent number: 12254992
    Abstract: In an approach, a processor receives device identification information corresponding to at least one device local to a location of a transaction. A processor receives notification of an infected user. A processor determines that the infected user is associated with the transaction. A processor identifies a second user from the device identification information. A processor sends a notification to the second user.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11947712
    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for a method. The method includes generating a correction datastore indicating shifts in magnitude representing corresponding characters that uniquely identify hardware comprising a computer processing chip. The method further includes generating security masks based on a correction file. Additionally, the method includes using a correction process for the computer processing chip. The generated security masks include corresponding overlays representing the shifts in magnitude with respect to corresponding product masks for the computer processing chip. The method also includes generating the computer processing chip using the security masks and the product masks.

  • Publication number: 20240087939
    Abstract: Described is a semiconductor processing system including a measurement tool configured to measure warpage characteristics in a semiconductor wafer. The semiconductor processing system further includes a pixelated surface configured to retain the semiconductor wafer, where the pixelated surface approximates the warpage characteristics to conform to the semiconductor wafer. The semiconductor processing system further includes a semiconductor processing tool configured to perform processing on the semiconductor wafer while it is retained on the pixelated surface.

  • Patent number: 11182722
    Abstract: A method includes monitoring with at least one monitoring tool one or more activities associated with an enterprise. The method further includes analyzing data input from the at least one monitoring tool of the one or more activities, and determining, based on analytics performed on the data input and an implemented policy, when the one or more activities qualifies as an incident. A remedial response responsive to the incident is initiated. The monitoring, analyzing, determining and initiating steps are performed by at least one processing device including a processor operatively coupled to a memory.

  • Patent number: 11067896
    Abstract: A method of optimizing a lithographic process for semiconductor fabrication includes determining that a semiconductor wafer experienced a photoresist exposure delay. At least one operating parameter of a post exposure baking process is adjusted based on the semiconductor wafer having experienced the photoresist exposure delay. The post exposure baking process is performed on the semiconductor wafer utilizing the adjusted at least one operating parameter.
