Publication number: 20250028588Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing intelligent alert automation (“IAA”). In various embodiments, IAA receives alert/event feeds from several different alerting and ticketing systems via input Redis queues, and uses a triage system to determine whether to process the alert/event or disregard it. If so, IAA may create a flow instance, assign a unique instance ID, and place the flow instance in one of a plurality of jobs queues based on alert/event type and/or or source. An abattoir system retrieves a flow instance from one of the jobs queues (in order of the queue's priority), and processes the next node or step in the flow instance. The flow instance is placed back into the jobs queue for subsequent processing by the same or different abattoir system until no additional nodes or steps remain in the flow, at which point the flow instance is considered complete.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2024Publication date: January 23, 2025Applicant: Level 3 Communications, LLCInventors: Kevin Schneider, Angela A. Rash, Troy G. Pohl, Steven Burrell, Matthew D. Schoenfeldt, Shelli L. Hurd

Patent number: 12051669Abstract: A semiconductor device package includes a package substrate having a die attach region, a silicon carbide (SiC) substrate having a first surface including a semiconductor device layer thereon and a second surface that is opposite the first surface, and a die attach metal stack. The die attach metal stack includes a sputtered die attach material layer that attaches the second surface of the SiC substrate to the die attach region of the package substrate, where the sputtered die attach material layer comprises a void percent of about 15% or less. The sputtered die attach material layer may be formed using a sputter gas including at least one of krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe), or radon (Rn).
