  • HYBRID SEMICONDUCTOR WAFER AND METHOD OF FORMING
    Publication number: 20250112035
    Abstract: A method includes performing a pressing operation on a volume of silicon carbide (SiC) powder to form a polycrystalline SiC (poly-SiC) ingot, and divide the poly-SiC ingot into a plurality of poly-SiC wafer bases. The method further includes, for a respective poly-SiC wafer base, bonding a silicon (Si) wafer structure to the respective poly-SiC wafer base to define a hybrid Si/poly-SiC stack structure, and performing a dividing process to remove a partial thickness of the Si wafer structure from the hybrid Si/poly-SiC stack structure to provide a hybrid Si/poly-SiC wafer comprising a remaining portion of the Si wafer structure bonded to the respective poly-SiC wafer base.

  • Log anomaly detection in continuous artificial intelligence for it operations
    Patent number: 12149551
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for log anomaly detection. A computer receives a windowed log of incoming raw log messages. A computer compares statistical distribution metrics of entities in the windowed log with a statistical distribution extracted from a real-time statistical model for the entities. In response to the statistical distribution metrics being statistically different from the statistical distribution extracted from the real-time statistical model for the entities, a computer tags the windowed log as an entity anomaly. A computer computes a distance between an average word embedding vector in the windowed log and a statistical distribution extracted form a real-time statistical model for word embeddings. In response to the distance being greater than a predetermined threshold, a computer tags the windowed log as a word embedding anomaly. A computer sends to a user an alert with an anomaly severity level.
