Publication number: 20250112177Abstract: Hybrid bonded die stacks, related apparatuses, systems, and methods of fabrication are disclosed. An integrated circuit (IC) die backside surface and a surface of a structural substrate each include bonding regions surrounded by hydrophobic structures. A liquid droplet is applied to the die or structural substrate bonding region and the die is placed on the bonding region of the structural substrate. Capillary forces cause the die to self-align to the bonding region, and a bond is formed by evaporating the liquid and subsequent anneal. A hybrid bond is then formed between the opposing active surface of the die and a base substrate using wafer-to-wafer bonding. IC structures including the IC die and portions of the structural substrate and base substrate are segmented from the bonded wafers and assembled.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2023Publication date: April 3, 2025Applicant: Intel CorporationInventors: Feras Eid, Thomas Sounart, Yi Shi, Michael Baker, Adel Elsherbini, Kimin Jun, Xavier Brun, Wenhao Li

Publication number: 20250112199Abstract: Hybrid bonded multi-level die stacks, related apparatuses, systems, and methods of fabrication are disclosed. First-level integrated circuit (IC) dies and a base substrate each include hybrid bonding regions surrounded by hydrophobic structures. The hybrid bonding regions are brought together with a liquid droplet therebetween, and capillary forces cause the IC die to self-align. A hybrid bond is formed by evaporating the droplet followed by anneal. Hybrid bonding regions of second-level IC dies are similarly bonded to hybrid bonding regions on backsides of the first-level IC dies. This is repeated for any number of subsequent levels of IC dies. IC structures including the bonded IC dies and portions of the base substrate are segmented and assembled.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2023Publication date: April 3, 2025Applicant: Intel CorporationInventors: Thomas Sounart, Feras Eid, Adel Elsherbini, Yi Shi, Michael Baker, Kimin Jun, Wenhao Li

Publication number: 20250094305Abstract: A computer implemented method and system for detecting one or more anomaly conditions in one or more computer devices. A Machine Learning (ML) model is trained for each of the one or more computer devices to determine threshold operating values for time-based metric data associated with each of the one or more computer devices. Utilizing the trained ML model, time-based metric data is compared for each of the one or more computer devices to the determined threshold operating values to determine if the time-based metric data falls outside of the determined threshold operating values. Provided is notification of an anomaly condition for a computer device responsive to determining the time-based metric data falls outside of the determined threshold operating values associated with the computer device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2024Publication date: March 20, 2025Applicant: Prudential FinancialInventors: Thomas C.

Publication number: 20250084511Abstract: A Mn—Al—Ti permanent magnet includes a body composed of an alloy consisting essentially of manganese in an amount of 50 to 56 atomic percent, aluminum in an amount of 44 to 50 atomic percent, and titanium in an amount of 0.5 to 1.5 atomic percent with a total amount of manganese, aluminum, and titanium not exceeding 100 atomic percent. In one preferred embodiment, a composition for the Mn—Al—Ti permanent magnet is Mn54Al45Ti1 with substantially no other elemental additions being present. The addition of titanium in amounts of approximately 1 atomic percent to the Mn—Al system is believed to result in the titanium sitting on the anti-phase boundary (APB) sites with atoms coupling ferromagnetically across the APB in the presence of titanium, resulting in suppression of the negative effects of the APB and improving the remanence over a titanium-less Mn—Al permanent magnet. This system also exhibits sustained coercivity at high temperatures.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2024Publication date: March 13, 2025Inventors: Thomas Keller, Dylan Barbagallo, Geoffroy Hautier, Ian Baker, Tushar Kanti Ghosh, Natalya Sheremetyeva

Patent number: 12241833Abstract: The disclosure provides a structured illumination imaging system that utilizes an image sensor (e.g., an active pixel sensor) in an active plane of a patterned sample to increase image resolution. The imaged sample may be patterned and/or aligned over an image sensor such that each light sensor (e.g., pixel) of the image sensor has a respective plurality of features formed and/or mounted above it. In response to illumination, each of the features may emit fluorescent light that is collected by a pixel of the image sensor. During imaging, each pixel of the image sensor may be spatially multiplexed using structured illumination such that only a subset (e.g., one or two) of the features aligned over the pixel are illuminated with structured light during an image read.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2019Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: Illumina, Inc.Inventor: Thomas Baker
