Publication number: 20240139906Abstract: A controller of a chemical mechanical polishing system is configured to cause a carrier head to sweep across a polishing pad in accord with a sweep profile. The controller is also configured to select values for a plurality of control parameters to minimize a difference between a target removal profile and an expected removal profile. The plurality of control parameters include a plurality of dwell time parameters. A relationship between the plurality of control parameters and a removal rate is stored in a data structure representing a first matrix which includes a plurality of columns including a column for each dwell time parameter and a row for each position on the substrate represented in the expected removal profile, and the controller is configured to, as part of selection of the values, calculate the expected removal profile by multiplying the first matrix by a second matrix representing control parameter values.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Jeonghoon Oh, Steven M.

Publication number: 20240147719Abstract: In certain embodiments, a method includes forming, on a substrate by spin-on deposition, a layer stack of alternating layers of first and second carbon-containing materials. The layers of the first carbon-containing material include an agent-generating ingredient for generating a solubility-changing agent in response to an activation trigger. The method includes executing the activation trigger in response to which the solubility-changing agent is generated from the agent-generating ingredient in the layers of the first carbon-containing material and modifies the layers of the first carbon-containing material to be soluble in a developer. The method includes etching first openings through the layer stack, filling the first openings with a third material, etching second openings through the layer stack, removing the layers of the first carbon-containing material from the layer stack by exposing those to the developer, and replacing the layers of the first carbon-containing material with a fourth material.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Soo Doo Chae, Lior Huli, Steven Gueci, Hojin Kim, Henan Zhang, Na Young Bae

Publication number: 20240134038Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems for stationary object detection and classification based on low-level radar data. Raw electromagnetic signals reflected off stationary objects and received by a radar system may be preprocessed to produce low-level spectrum data in the form of range-Doppler maps that retain all or nearly all the data present in the raw electromagnetic signals. The preprocessing may also filter non-stationary range-Doppler bins. The remaining low-level spectrum data represents stationary objects present in a field-of-view (FOV) of the radar system. The low-level spectrum data representing stationary objects can be fed to an end-to-end deep convolutional detection and classification network that is trained to classify and provide object bounding boxes for the stationary objects. The outputted classifications and bounding boxes related to the stationary objects may be provided to other driving systems to improve their functionality resulting in a safer driving experience.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2022Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Shan Zhang, Kanishka Tyagi, Steven Shaw, Narbik Manukian
