  • Publication number: 20250248105
    Abstract: Some implementations described herein provide a bonding tool having a top bonding fixture that includes an inflatable forcing structure (e.g., a gas bag). When pressurized, the inflatable forcing structure has a curved surface that protrudes from an under side of the top bonding fixture to deform a top semiconductor substrate during a bonding operation. A rate of inflation and/or a pressure within the inflatable forcing structure may be controlled to distribute a force more evenly in a bond region of the semiconductor substrate relative to another bonding tool having another top bonding fixture including a striker pin.

  • Patent number: 12360314
    Abstract: A semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) structure and a method for forming the SOI structure. The method includes forming a first dielectric layer on a first semiconductor layer. A second semiconductor layer is formed over an etch stop layer. A cleaning solution is provided to a first surface of the first dielectric layer. The first dielectric layer is bonded under the second semiconductor layer in an environment having a substantially low pressure. An index guiding layer may be formed over the second semiconductor layer. A third semiconductor layer is formed over the second semiconductor layer. A distance between a top of the third semiconductor layer and a bottom of the second semiconductor layer varies between a maximum distance and a minimum distance. A planarization process is performed on the third semiconductor layer to reduce the maximum distance.

  • Publication number: 20250193490
    Abstract: Methods and systems for asynchronous updates for media item access history embeddings are provided herein. An embedding that represents a media item access history associated with a client device with respect to a first set of media items previously accessed by the client device is identified. A determination is made of whether one or more embedding relevance criteria are satisfied with respect to the media item access history of the client device. Responsive to a determination that the one or more embedding relevance criteria are satisfied, a media item is selected of a second set of media items not yet accessed by the client device based on the embedding. The client device is provided with access to the selected media item.
