Title: Edge-exclusion spalling method for removing substrate material
Inventor: BEDELL STEPHEN
IPC: H01L31/18
Filed: 2012-05-10
Abstract: A method to minimize edge-related substrate breakage during spalling using an edge-exclusion region (14) where the stressor layer (16) is either non-present (excluded either during deposition or removed afterwards) or present but significantly non-adhered to the substrate surface in the exclusion region is provided. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the method includes forming an edge exclusion material (14) on an upper surface and near an edge of a base substrate (10â  â  ). A stressor layer (16) is then formed on exposed portions of the upper surface of the base substrate (10â  â  ) and atop the edge exclusion material (14). A portion (10â  ) of the base substrate that is located beneath the stressor layer and which is not covered by the edge exclusion material is then spalled and separated from the bulk of the substrate. The material is removed from the substrate by stresses caused by the stressor layer. An adhesive layer (15) can be formed between the substrate and stressor layer. This method improves the reusability of the substrate.

Title: Low Density Parity Checking using Interleaver Address Mappings
Inventor: NIEMINEN ESKO JUHANI
IPC: H03M13/11
Filed: 2012-12-19
Abstract: In a Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) scheme for decoding communication channels, interleavers 710 are used to perform mappings A which determine the positions of positive bit values (ie. ones) in a a sparse (ie. primarily zero) parity check matrix H (Fig. 5A). For each of a number of data vectors d=(d1, d2 ... dk), an encoder (420, fig. 4A) outputs a linear block of code vectors c=(c1, c2 ... cn) such that câHT=0 and n>k (ie. n-k parity bits are generated). A generator matrix G may be formed from an identity matrix I and a parity submatrix P (fig. 6), its rows being code vectors c. An address r corresponds to a column index of P (ie. a row index of H) which an interleaver maps to a second address A1..W[r] which selects and retrieves particular bits of d from a memory 730 before calculating a parity check bit p[r] = (d[A1[r]] + ... + d[AW[r]]) mod 2. Code vector c=(dâp) is then transmitted, and received code block c=c+e is decoded (470, fig 4B) to yield received data vectors d which are set equal to d if the parity check is successful.
