Abstract: A ribbon bonding tool including a body portion is provided. The body portion includes a tip portion. The tip portion including a working surface, the tip portion including two side wall portions on either side of the working surface wherein a ribbon path is defined between the side wall portions.

Abstract: A method of storing data, comprises extracting data from a first storage of a storage system; containerizing the data to form a container image, the container image being self-contained and configured to be moved and stored as a unit; and storing the container image in at least one second storage different from the first storage. The data may be deduplicated data and containerizing may be by an OCI-compliant process, such as Dockerizing. A system and a non-transitory storage medium are also disclosed. A method of storing data also comprises receiving, by a storage system, a container image, the container image being self-contained and including metadata and a data file containing data. The container image is configured to be moved and stored as a unit and is received from a second system separate from the storage system, via a network. The container image is stored by the storage system.

Abstract: A ribbon bonding tool including a body portion is provided. The body portion includes a tip portion. The tip portion includes a working surface between a front edge of the tip portion and a back edge of the tip portion. The working surface includes a region defining at least one of a plurality of recesses and a plurality of protrusions. The working surface also defines at least one of (a) a first planar portion between the region and the front edge of the tip portion, and (b) a second planar portion between the region and the back edge of the tip portion.

Abstract: An ultrasonic bond is formed using a bond tool foot having a waffle shape of thin protrusions and gaps between the protrusions. The tool is brought in contact with the ribbon to a depth to create depressions in a ribbon approximately 150 ?m or less from the underlying bonding surface. The tool is then brought down further into the ribbon to contact the portions of the ribbon between the depressions, such as an additional 25 to 50 ?m. The result is lightly bonded regions underneath the groove portions and highly bonded regions underneath the protrusions and around the perimeter of the bond. In another embodiment, an ultrasonic bond is formed along a partial width of a ribbon.
