Abstract: Methods for fabricating metallization stacks with one or more self-aligned staggered metal lines, and related semiconductor devices, are disclosed. Methods and devices are based on providing a spacer material conformal to bottom metal lines of a first layer of a metallization stack. By carefully designing parameters of the deposition process, the spacer material may be deposited in such a manner that, for each pair of adjacent bottom metal lines of the first layer, an opening in the spacer material is formed in a layer above the bottom metal lines (i.e., in the second layer of the metallization stack), the opening being substantially equidistant to the adjacent bottom metal lines of the first layer. Top metal lines are formed by filling the openings with an electrically conductive material, resulting in the top metal lines being self-aligned and staggered with respect to the bottom metal lines.

Abstract: A wellhead is provided having a port or ports about the external periphery of the wellhead. The center bore of each port is generally directed at a point within the wellhead having a location where a portion of a tool or an object is expected. Each port does not provide fluid access from the exterior to the interior of the wellhead and preferably has a flat bottom. Each port is fitted with a sensor and preferably the sensor contacts the bottom of the port. And ultrasonic a sensor emits an ultrasonic waveform which proceeds through the bottom of the port and a portion of the ultrasonic waveform is reflected back to the ultrasonic receiver. A comparison is then performed to compare the predicted value versus the received value to determine whether or not the expected tool or object is in place or partially in place within the wellhead.

Abstract: Monitoring backend batch processes/agents to identify currently enabled batch processes that running/executing on schedule and those that are not running/executing on schedule. In the event that currently enabled backend batch processes are identified as delayed, a delay time is determined. Such determinations are made on a regular interval, (e.g., hourly or the like), such that, reports is generated and communicated and/or a batch process status portal is updated on the regular interval to reflect the current delayed status of batch process or, in some embodiments, the current status of all of the backend batch processes currently enabled within an enterprise. Identification of backend batch processes that are currently being delayed and the associated delay time provides a basis for determining the cause(s) for the delay and possible corrective action(s), which may be implemented in conjunction with the determinations.

Abstract: A device may receive video data associated with a video, and may identify image data associated with the video data and that corresponds to a frame of the video. The device may process the image data, with an image analysis model, to determine an image compliance score associated with a policy and with context of the image data, and may identify text data associated with the video data. The device may process the text data, with a text analysis model, to determine a text compliance score associated with the policy and with context of the text data, and may determine, based on the image compliance score and the text compliance score, an aggregate compliance score associated with the frame. The device may determine whether the aggregate compliance score satisfies a threshold associated with the policy, and may perform actions based on whether the aggregate compliance score satisfies the threshold.

Abstract: Compounds and method of preparation of Si—X and Ge—X compounds (X=N, P, As and Sb) via dehydrogenative coupling between the corresponding unsubstituted silanes and amines (including ammonia) or phosphines catalyzed by metallic catalysts is described. This new approach is based on the catalytic dehydrogenative coupling of a Si—H and a X—H moiety to form a Si—X containing compound and hydrogen gas (X=N, P, As and Sb). The process can be catalyzed by transition metal heterogenous catalysts such as Ru(O) on carbon, Pd(O) on MgO) as well as transition metal organometallic complexes that act as homogeneous catalysts. The —Si—X products produced by dehydrogenative coupling are inherently halogen free. Said compounds can be useful for the deposition of thin films by chemical vapor deposition or atomic layer deposition of Si—containing films.
