  • Publication number: 20260068603
    Abstract: During polishing of a backside conductive layer, a sensor of an in-situ eddy current monitoring system is repeatedly swept across the substrate so that each respective sweep of the sensor generates a respective signal trace that includes a sequence of signal values. For each respective signal trace, the sequence of signal values is converted to a corresponding thickness trace that includes sequence of thickness values for different locations on the substrate, thus generating a sequence of thickness traces. For each respective thickness trace in the sequence of thickness traces, a plurality of minima in the respective thickness trace are identified. A sequence of layer thickness values over time is calculated based on the plurality of minima from the respective traces in the sequence of thickness traces. Conductive vias extend through the semiconductor wafer of the substrate to electrically connect the backside conductive layer to a front-side conductive layer.

  • Patent number: 12541632
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for congestion aware placement of the fabric components of an interconnect in an integrated circuit device. A floorplan of the interconnect is projected on a virtual grid that includes placement locations for the fabric components. Locations of the fabric components can be initialized with the placement locations of the virtual grid. Updated locations for the placement of each of the fabric components on the virtual grid can be determined based on minimization of a total wirelength (TWL) cost function of all the nets in the interconnect. Timing slices are inserted in the interconnect after the placement of the fabric components at the updated locations. The floorplan information with the placement information of the fabric components and the timing slices can be used for the physical design of the interconnect to provide a timing clean result.

  • Publication number: 20260014663
    Abstract: A method of compensating for a contribution of conductivity of the semiconductor wafer to a measured trace by an in-situ electromagnetic induction monitoring system includes storing or generating a modified reference trace. The modified reference trace represents measurements of a bare doped reference semiconductor wafer by an in-situ electromagnetic induction monitoring system as modified by a neutral network. The substrate is monitored with an in-situ electromagnetic induction monitoring system to generate a measured trace that depends on a thickness of the conductive layer, and at least a portion of the measured trace is applied to a neural network to generate a modified measured trace. An adjusted trace is generated, including subtracting the modified reference trace from the modified measured trace.

  • Patent number: 12524360
    Abstract: Techniques to reduce direct memory access (DMA) overhead may include retrieving an address translation descriptor from a descriptor queue of a DMA engine, and updating an address translation table in the DMA engine with address translation information obtained from the location indicated by the address translation descriptor. A set of memory descriptors is then obtained from the descriptor queue. The set of memory descriptors can be processed by determining that the addresses in the set of memory descriptors are to be translated using the address translation table, and performing memory access operations by using the address translation table to translate the addresses in the set of memory descriptors.
