  • Publication number: 20250141751
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a computer-implemented method includes ascertaining a multitier topology representation of an edge cloud network; generating a pseudo node topology representation of the edge cloud network from the multitier topology representation; and utilizing the pseudo node topology representation of the edge cloud network to ascertain minimum-latency pseudo-node-based edge cloud clusters (ECCs), the minimum-latency pseudo-node-based ECCs being utilized to minimize a latency of user requests routed through the edge cloud network from a user of the edge cloud network. In some embodiments of the computer-implemented method, the minimum-latency pseudo-node-based ECCs are ascertained based upon a pseudo-node-based round-trip-times (RTTs) assessment from the user of the edge cloud network, the user requests being routed to the minimum-latency pseudo-node-based ECCs ascertained using the pseudo node topology representation.

  • Publication number: 20250133646
    Abstract: Metal oxide films are reduced to metal with an atmospheric pressure argon and hydrogen plasma at temperatures between 25 and 250° C. A 40-nm-thick copper oxide layer on a copper-coated silicon wafer, 300 mm in diameter, can be fully removed by the argon and hydrogen plasma in under two minutes at 150° C. The fast rate of metal oxide reduction to metal demonstrates that this process is well suited for front- and back-end semiconductor manufacturing, such as for example, flux-free flip chip bonding of microbumps.
