Appl. No.:

09/745266

Inventors:

Fan Zhang - San Jose CA
Daniel L. Towery - Santa Clara CA
Joseph A. Levert - Santa Clara CA
Shyama P. Mukherjee - Morgan Hill CA

Assignee:

Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ

International Classification:

C11D 708

US Classification:

510175, 252 794, 438693

Abstract:

Chemical mechanical planarization or spin etch planarization of surfaces of copper, tantalum and tantalum nitride is accomplished by means of the chemical formulations of the present invention. The chemical formulations may optionally include abrasive particles and which may be chemically reactive or inert. Contact or non-contact CMP may be performed with the present chemical formulations. Substantially 1:1 removal rate selectivity for Cu and Ta/TaN is achieved.

Assignee:

Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ

International Classification:

C09K 1300

US Classification:

252 791

Abstract:

The present invention relates to apparatus, procedures and compositions for avoiding and reducing damage to low dielectric constant materials and other soft materials, such as Cu and Al, used in fabricating semiconductor devices. Damage reduction can be achieved by decreasing the role of mechanical abrasion in the CMP of these materials and increasing the role of chemical polishing, which can also improve material removal rates. Increasing the role of chemical polishing can be accomplished by creating a polishing slurry, which contains components that interact chemically with the surface to be polished. This slurry may or may not also contain soft abrasive particles, which replace the hard abrasive particles of conventional slurries. Use of soft abrasive particles can reduce the role of mechanical abrasion in the CMP process. Use of this slurry in CMP can reduce surface scratches and device damage.

International Classification:

G06F012/00

US Classification:

711202, 711 5, 711105, 711154, 711157, 711211, 711220, 36523003

Abstract:

An apparatus comprising a memory, a plurality of modules, an address translation unit and a controller. The memory may be arranged as a plurality of memory banks. Each of the plurality of modules may be configured to generate one or more addresses for accessing a particular one of the plurality of memory banks. The address translation unit may be configured to modify the one or more addresses in response to a control signal. The controller may be configured to generate the control signal in response to a computer executable instruction.

Appl. No.:

09/591122

Inventors:

Joseph L. Hellerstein - Ossining NY, US
Fan Zhang - New York NY, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F007/60

US Classification:

703 2, 703 22

Abstract:

Predictive models are widely used for tasks in many domains. The present invention addresses the problem of prediction of non-stationary processes by dynamically managing multiple models. The system comprises a model assessor, a model adapter, a plurality of sub-models, a plurality of model combiner functions, training data that is used to estimate model parameters, and test data that is used to test for change points. Two processes are described, one for handling data updates and another that addresses prediction requests.

Abstract:

A system and method for performance modeling for an information technology (IT) system having a server(s) for performing a number of types of transactions includes receiving data for system topology and transaction flows and receiving performance measurement data for the IT system. The measurement data is clustered into multiple regimes based on similarities. Service demand and network delay parameters may be inferred based on clustered data.

International Classification:

A61B 17/08

US Classification:

606153, 606151

Abstract:

Described here are devices and methods for intussuscepting a portion of stomach tissue. Typically the intussusception is created at a position near, but distal to the gastroesophageal junction, and a pouch capable of storing a volume (from about 0 cc up to about 100 cc) is created proximal the intussuscepted tissue. In this way, the amount of food that may be ingested is reduced, helping to ameliorate GERD symptoms, and aiding in weight loss efforts. Some of the devices described here include an expandable member and at least one suction inlet. In these devices, the expandable member is expanded to create a proximal cavity into which the stomach tissue is pulled (e. g. , using suction), thereby creating the intussusception.
