Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to a multilayer stack used as a mask in extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography and methods for forming a multilayer stack. In one embodiment, the method includes forming a carbon layer over a film stack, forming a metal rich oxide layer on the carbon layer by a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process, forming a metal oxide photoresist layer on the metal rich oxide layer, and patterning the metal oxide photoresist layer. The metal oxide photoresist layer is different from the metal rich oxide layer and is formed by a process different from the PVD process. The metal rich oxide layer formed by the PVD process improves adhesion of the metal oxide photoresist layer and increases the secondary electrons during EUV lithography, which leads to decreased EUV dose energies.

Abstract: Architectures and techniques for in-app behavior detection. A behavior detection agent within an application running on a hardware computing device captures events within the application. The events are inputs received from one or more sources external to the application. The behavior detection agent generates an event stream from the captured events. The behavior detection agent analyzes the event stream for significant feature frequencies and associations corresponding to one or more attack profiles. The behavior detection agent initiates an attack response in response to finding one or more significant feature frequencies and associations. The attack response comprises at least changing an operational configuration of the application.
