Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for etching through-silicon vias (TSVs) in a substrate. The method employs a cyclic polymer passivation layer deposition, depassivation process and plasma etching process. By alternating the duration performed in the plasma etching process and the polymer passivation deposition process during the TSVs formation process, a good sidewall profile and via depth control may be obtained.

Abstract: A system and method for micro computed tomography (CT) reconstruction of position scan data of planar objects, such as stacked integrated circuit chips and/or PCB, that automatically determines object orientation is disclosed for a preferred orientation of the reconstructed images. The object orientation of the sinogram of the scanning data is determined such that the reconstruction may be performed with any starting position. Additionally, planar object scan reconstructions with either a higher resolution in the thickness dimension without increasing the total computation resource or a faster processing speed under a given resolution in the thickness dimension may be achieved. The tilting angle with respect to the rotation axis may also be determined to perform a image rotation after a multi-slice reconstruction or cone-beam reconstruction.

Abstract: In one example, a Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) sends first bandwidth allocation messages to a first upstream transmit interface on a cable modem and send second bandwidth allocation messages to a second upstream transmit interface on the cable modem. The bandwidth allocation messages indicate transmit windows for the cable modem to range over the interfaces. The transmit windows included in the first bandwidth allocation messages are spaced based on receipt of ranging requests from the second upstream transmit interface, and the transmit windows included in the second bandwidth allocation messages are spaced based on receipt of ranging requests from the first upstream transmit interface.

Abstract: A computer-implemented process is provided for reorienting a three-dimensional (3D) scan image of an object. The object has a generally flat surface. The image is constructed from image data obtained during rotation of the object about a rotation axis, which intersects the plane of the flat surface at an angle. Axial slices of the scan image are obtained, each of which represents a slice of the object that is perpendicular to the rotation axis and comprises a line representing the flat surface of the object. The axial slices are shifted to align lines representing the flat surface in different axial slices, thus forming a reoriented 3D image. Alternatively, an axial tilt angle is determined from the positions of these lines and the image is rotated by the determined angle to form a reoriented 3D image.

Abstract: Inclusions in a transparent panel (5) are detected by placing a light transmissive interface (3) in contact with the panel (5), and transmitting a beam of light (1) through interface (3) into panel (5). Within the panel (5), the light beam (7) propagates along a path including total internal reflections at surfaces of panel (5). When the light beam (1) intercepts inclusions (10) or other defects at least some of it is scattered, and leaves the panel (5). This scattered light is then observed. Thus, a large zone of the panel (5) can be inspected, with light only being detected in the case that it arises from scattering by inclusions or other defects.
