  • Patent number: 10520805
    Abstract: An extreme ultraviolet (EUV) mask having a pellicle disposed thereover is received. The EUV pellicle is coupled to the EUV mask at least in part via glue that is disposed on the EUV mask. The EUV pellicle is removed, thereby exposing the glue. A localized glue-removal process is performed by targeting a region of the EUV mask on which the glue is disposed. The localized glue-removal process is performed without affecting other regions of the EUV mask that do not have the glue disposed thereon. The localized glue-removal process may include injecting a cleaning chemical onto the glue and removing a waste chemical produced by the cleaning chemical and the glue. The localized glue-removal process may also include a plasma process that applies plasma to the glue. The localized glue-removal process may further include a laser process that shoots a focused laser beam at the glue.

  • Publication number: 20190394066
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for an Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) Virtual Private Wire Service (VPWS) network with service interface-aware forwarding. In one example, a first network device signals to a second network device, using EVPN route advertisements, a multi-service service tunnel to transport network packets for a plurality of services. The services are identifiable by virtual local area network (VLAN) identifiers in the packets. The first network device is configured with a single transport interface for the service tunnel and the single transport interface is configured with respective service interfaces for the services. The first network device detects failure of a failed service interface of the service interfaces and outputs, in response to the failure, an EVPN route withdrawal message for the service tunnel that identifies the service corresponding to the failed service interface.

The first route information may fail to include Internet protocol (IP)/MAC binding information associated with the host device. The device may transmit a request for IP/MAC binding information associated with the host device. The device may receive a response, to the request for IP/MAC binding information, identifying the IP/MAC binding information. The device may advertise, via a second message, second route information for directing network traffic for the network based on receiving the response identifying the IP/MAC binding information. The second route information may identify the IP/MAC binding information associated with the host device.
