  • Publication number: 20240147665
    Abstract: A precooling device integrated with a cooling distribution unit and a server liquid cooling system are provided. The precooling device includes a liquid cooling row, an adapter assembly, and a cooling distribution unit. The adapter assembly includes a flow joining row and a flow distribution row. The cooling distribution unit supplies a refrigerant from an interior thereof, and includes an outlet and an inlet communicating with the interior. The outlet communicates with the flow distribution row of the adapter assembly to deliver the refrigerant for heat exchange. The refrigerant being performed the heat exchange returns to the liquid cooling row through the flow joining row of the adapter assembly for precooling, and then returns from the liquid cooling row to the cooling distribution unit through the inlet. The refrigerant is precooled before returning to the cooling distribution unit.

  • Patent number: 11923205
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes: providing a wafer-bonding stack structure having a sidewall layer and an exposed first component layer; forming a photoresist layer on the first component layer; performing an edge trimming process to at least remove the sidewall layer; and removing the photoresist layer. In this way, contaminant particles generated from the blade during the edge trimming process may fall on the photoresist layer but not fall on the first component layer, so as to protect the first component layer from being contaminated.

  • Patent number: 8452439
    Abstract: A method comprises computing respective regression models for each of a plurality of failure bins based on a plurality of failures identified during wafer electrical tests. Each regression model outputs a wafer yield measure as a function of a plurality of device performance variables. For each failure bin, sensitivity of the wafer yield measure to each of the plurality of device performance variables is determined, and the device performance variables are ranked with respect to sensitivity of the wafer yield measure. A subset of the device performance variables which have highest rankings and which have less than a threshold correlation with each other are selected. The wafer yield measures for each failure bin corresponding to one of the selected subset of device performance variables are combined, to provide a combined wafer yield measure. At least one new process parameter value is selected to effect a change in the one device performance variable, based on the combined wafer yield measure.

  • Publication number: 20130008784
    Abstract: Provided is a CoCrPt-based alloy sputtering target containing cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), platinum (Pt), cobalt oxide and non-magnetic oxide composition, wherein the lengths of ceramic phases of Cr2O3 and Co(Cr)—X—O formed in the sputtering targets are respectively less than 3 ?m (“X” represents the metal element of the non-magnetic oxide). The sputtering target is obtained via controlling suitable composition proportion of the prealloy powder with Cr and the sintering factor to decrease the size of ceramic phases of Cr2O3 and Co(Cr)—X—O. Sputtering targets made by the methods of the present invention decrease the arcing effects and unnecessary formation of particles upon sputtering in addition to making the components of the sputtering targets distribute more uniformly therein.
