  • Patent number: 12218071
    Abstract: A foundation layer and methods of forming a conductive via are described. A die pad is formed over a die. A seed layer is deposited over the die pad and the foundation layer. A first photoresist layer is deposited over the seed layer, and the first layer is patterned to form a conductive line opening over the die pad. A conductive material is deposited into the conductive line opening to form a conductive line. A second photoresist layer is deposited over the first layer, and the second layer is patterned to form a via opening over the conductive line. The conductive material is deposited into the via opening to form the conductive via, where the conductive material only deposits on portions of exposed conductive line. The second and first layers are removed. Portions of exposed seed layer are recessed, and then a top surface of the conductive via is exposed.

  • Publication number: 20240114060
    Abstract: Systems and methods for remote monitoring of a Security Operations Center (SOC) via a mobile application are provided. According to one embodiment, a management service retrieves information regarding multiple network elements that are associated with an enterprise network and extracts parameters of the monitored network elements from the retrieved information. The management service prioritizes the monitored network elements by determining a severity level associated with security-related issues of the network elements and generates various monitoring views that summarize in real time various categories of potential security-related issues detected by the SOC. Further, the management service assigns a priority to each monitoring view and displays a video on the display device that cycles through monitoring views in accordance with their respective assigned priorities.

    Abstract: IC die package routing structures including a bulk layer of a first metal composition on an underlying layer of a second metal composition. The lower layer may be sputter deposited to a thickness sufficient to support plating of the bulk layer upon a first portion of the lower layer. Following the plating process, a second portion of the lower layer may be removed selectively to the bulk layer. Multiple IC die may be attached to the package with the package routing structures responsible for the transmission of high-speed data signals between the multiple IC die.
