Abstract: A method of forming a device stack is presented. The method includes providing a temporary substrate having a temporary mounting surface. A first chip is temporarily mounted to the temporary mounting surface. A first bottom surface of the first chip is temporarily mounted to the temporary mounting surface and a first top surface of the first chip comprises first interconnects. A second chip is stacked on the first chip. The second chip includes second conductive contacts on the second bottom surface. The method also includes bonding the first and second chips together to form the device stack. The second conductive contacts are coupled to the first interconnects. The first bottom surface of the first chip is separated from the substrate to separate the chip stack from the substrate.

Abstract: A Metal-Insulator-Metal Capacitor and Method for Fabricating Metal-Insulator-Metal Capacitor Structures. The MIM (Metal insulator Metal) capacitor structure comprising a Capacitor Top Metal (CTM); a dielectric; and a Capacitor Bottom Metal (CBM); said CTM comprising an etch stop portion; a conductivity portion having a lower resistivity compared to the etch stop portion; and an interface portion of a different material from the conductivity portion; wherein the conductivity portion is sandwiched between the etch stop portion and the interface portion; and the interface portion interfaces the CTM with the dielectric.

Abstract: A method and system for identifying, categorizing, and sharing web site links over a communications network via a web key tool includes receiving a request, including a website link, to incorporate information relating to the website into the web key tool. The method also includes associating the information and the link with a category, which includes viewing a list of categories and selecting the category from the list or defining a new category, as well as manually entering a uniform resource locator and description of the information or importing the information during a search from an active web site. The method also includes transmitting the information and link to a central storage location associated with the web key tool and processing the information, which includes approving the information and link for storage or either aborting the process or returning to the category selection option and repeating the selection process if the information is not approved.

Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the invention relates to a computer-based method and system for identifying, categorizing, and sharing preferred web site links over a communications network via a web key tool. The method includes receiving a request from a user client system to incorporate information relating to a web site into the web key tool; launching the web key tool and selecting a related option from a menu screen's list of options provided; associating the web site information with a category; transmitting the information to a central storage location associated with the web key tool where the information and request are processed for approval; saving the approved information in the central storage location; updating related database files with respect to the approved information; and providing access to the approved information via the communications network to authorized system users.

Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the invention relates to a computer-based method and system for providing multi-user electronic calendaring and scheduling functions in an extended enterprise environment. The method includes scheduling trainees for online classes conducted by a training system, presenting a template pertaining to an open class time, associating scheduled class data to the scheduler for tracking and confirmation purposes, emailing notifications to trainees, updating class registration and related databases in real time via replication functions, aggregating and transmitting class registration data to the training system, and transmitting results of classes to trainees and the scheduler all via a multi-user electronic calendaring and scheduling application.
