  • Patent number: 11908723
    Abstract: Handler wafers and methods of handling a wafer include positioning a handler, which is attached to a wafer by a bonding layer that comprises a debonding layer, an optical enhancement layer, and an anti-reflection layer. The handler is debonded from the wafer using a laser that emits laser energy at a wavelength that is absorbed by the debonding layer and that is confined to the debonding layer by the optical enhancement layer, such that the material of the debonding layer ablates when exposed to the laser energy to release the wafer.

    Abstract: A method forms an air gap metal tip structure for (ESD) protection. The method forms an air chamber, from an upper substrate and a lower substate disposed below the upper substrate, within which a first metal tip and a second metal tip are disposed. The first and second metal tips are disposed along at least one horizontal axis parallel to the upper and lower substrates. The chamber includes a portion between points of the metal tips, such that oxygen trapped in the chamber is converted into ozone responsive to an arc between the metal tips to dissipate the arc, and the ozone is decomposed back into the oxygen responsive to an arc absence between the metal tips to maintain the ESD protection for subsequent arcs.

  • Patent number: 11119504
    Abstract: Using a set of airflow sensors disposed on an airfoil of an aircraft, first airflow data including an amount of airflow experienced at each airflow sensor at a first time is measured. Using a trained neural network model, the first airflow data is analyzed to determine an airflow state of the aircraft. In response to determining that the aircraft is in the abnormal airflow state, a control surface and a power unit of the aircraft are adjusted. Responsive to the adjusting, the aircraft is returned to the normal airflow state.
