Patent number: 11416488Abstract: This disclosure proposes systems, methods, and apparatus that identify raw SQL queries that are likely to cause a double counting error, and if such a SQL query is identified, then convert the raw SQL query into SQL queries that account for and avoid double counting. In some embodiments, this process uses queries and subqueries that refer back to a common table expression (CTE) in order to reduce code length and increase query execution speed.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2020Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: lnsightsoftware.com Interational UnlimitedInventor: Stephan Hoffmann

Patent number: 9090854Abstract: In a method and apparatus for treating a surface of an article, an improved rinse liquid prevents build-up of static charge while avoiding damages to certain types of exposed metal-containing surfaces. In one embodiment, a semiconductor wafer having structures including at least one of cobalt, nickel and platinum is rotated on a spin chuck, as a rinse liquid is dispensed onto a surface of the wafer. The rinse liquid is a dilute aqueous solution of a base of the formula in which R1, R2 and R3 are each independently selected from hydrogen and C1-4 alkyl. The base has a boiling point less than 100° C., and the rinse liquid has a pH in the range of 8 to 10.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2011Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: LAM RESEARCH AGInventors: Stephan Hoffmann, Harald Kraus, Gunter Mettin
