Patent number: 9263292Abstract: A process for overcoming extreme topographies by first planarizing a cavity in a semiconductor substrate in order to create a planar surface for subsequent lithography processing. As a result of the planarizing process for extreme topographies, subsequent lithography processing is enabled including the deposition of features in close proximity to extreme topographic surfaces (e.g., deep cavities or channels) and, including the deposition of features within a cavity. In a first embodiment, the process for planarizing a cavity in a semiconductor substrate includes the application of dry film resists having high chemical resistance. In a second embodiment, the process for planarizing a cavity includes the filling of cavity using materials such as polymers, spin on glasses, and metallurgy.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2013Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: GLOBALFOUNDRIES INC.Inventors: Guy M.

Publication number: 20150294249Abstract: A method for predicting risks for information technology service contracts includes calculating a probability of occurrence of each target risk in a target contract; constructing clusters of root causes observed in historical contracts similar to the target contract, for each of the clusters, identifying root causes that co-occur with target contract risks by searching each cluster for root causes of similar historical contract risks such that the identified root causes represent additional new contract risks, and calculating the probability of occurrence of each new target risk identified for the target contract based on root causes identified in the similar historical contract risks. Two root causes are in the same cluster if both root causes occur in one or more contracts in the set of historical contracts, where two root causes co-occur if both root causes are in the same cluster.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2014Publication date: October 15, 2015Inventors: SINEM GUVEN KAYA, VUGRANAM C.

Patent number: 8159248Abstract: Flexible and rigid interposers for use in the semiconductor industry and methods for manufacturing the same are described. Auto-catalytic processes are used to minimize the costs associated with the production of flexible interposers, while increasing the yield and lifetime. Electrical contact regions are easily isolated and the risk of corrosion is reduced because all portions of the interposer are plated at once. Leads projecting from the flexible portion of the interposers accommodate a greater variety of components to be tested. Rigid interposers include a pin projecting from a probe pad affixed to a substrate. The rigidity of the pin penetrates oxides on a contact pad to be tested. Readily available semiconductor materials and processes are used to manufacture the flexible and rigid interposers according to the invention. The flexible and rigid interposers can accommodate pitches down to 25 ?m.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2009Date of Patent: April 17, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Steven A.
