Abstract: A bumpless hybrid organic glass interposer. One or more high density pattern (HDP) routing layers are placed on a functional, thin, carrier, separate from the intended organic substrate patch or package. The HDP layer(s) is/are then attached to the substrate package. The interposers achieve electrical connections between the HDP layer and underlying routing layer of the substrate package by utilizing a self-align dry etch process through landing pads connected to the HDP routing.

Abstract: Isolating suspicious email links is described. An email security service receives an email that includes a link that refers to an external resource. A first suspicious link determination is performed to determine whether the link is suspicious. If the link is suspicious, the link is rewritten to refer to the email security and the email is delivered to the recipient. A request from a client device is received responsive to the link being opened. A second suspicious link determination is performed to determine whether the link is suspicious. If the link is suspicious, an interstitial page is transmitted to the client device that includes an option that, when selected, causes the first link to be opened in a remote browser isolation session.

Abstract: Methods and systems for performing model-less measurements of semiconductor structures based on scatterometry measurement data are described herein. Scatterometry measurement data is processed directly, without the use of a traditional measurement model. Measurement sensitivity is defined by the changes in detected diffraction images at one or more non-zero diffraction orders over at least two different illumination incidence angles. Discrete values of a scalar function are determined directly from measured images at each incidence angle. A continuous mathematical function is fit to the set of discrete values of the scalar function determined at each incidence angle. A value of a parameter of interest is determined based on analysis of the mathematical function. In some embodiments, the scalar function includes a weighting function, and the weighting values associated with weighting function are optimized to yield an accurate fit of the mathematical function to the scalar values.
