Collective Die-to-Wafer Self-Assembly for High Alignment Accuracy and High Throughput 3D Integration (2022)

The die-to wafer hybrid bonding process is considered by leading microelectronics companies as essential for the success of future memory, HPC or photonic devices. However, this process is much more complex than Wafer-To-Wafer bonding and the die assembly throughput is lower. CEA-LETI has been working for several years on the development of a self-assembly process. This latter is promising to increase throughput by self-aligning several thousand of dies per hour. The present paper describes our latest work on self-assembly through a collaboration with Intel, focused on the development and maturation of a collective D2W direct bonding self-assembly process. The water dispense technique and the surface preparation to tune the surface hydrophilicity appeared as critical for the proper conduct of the self-assembly process. Thus, excellent alignment performances on a homemade collective self-assembly bonding bench was achieved. It resulted in a mean misalignment inferior to 150 nm with a 3σ inferior to 500 nm. Finally, the compatibility of the self-assembly process with a wide range of die dimensions (8x8 mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> , 2.7x2.7 mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> , 1.3x11.8 mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> and 2.2x11.8 mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> ) was demonstrated.

Reduced Complexity Semidefinite Relaxation Algorithms for Source Localization Based on Time Difference of Arrival (2011)

We investigate the problem of source localization based on measuring time difference of signal arrivals (TDOA) from the source emitter. Taking into account the colored measurement noise, we adopt a min-max principle to develop two lower complexity semidefinite relaxation algorithms that can be reliably solved using semidefinite programming. The reduction of algorithm complexity is achieved through a simple, but effective method to select a reference node among participating measurement nodes such that only selective time differences of signal arrival are exploited. Our estimation methods are insensitive to the source locations and can be used either as the final location estimate or as the initial point for more traditional search algorithms.

Coordinated Sampling: An Efficient, Network-Wide Approach for Flow Monitoring (2007)

We present Coordinated Sampling, a new technique for improved flow-level monitoring.Our approach derives from three key design decisions: flow sampling instead of uniform packet sampling; hash-based flow selection to achieve coordination between routers without needing explicit communication channels; and an approach for distributing responsibilities across routers to achieve network-wide monitoring objectives while taking into account resource constraints on each router.We demonstrate that Coordinated Sampling presents an attractive solution for ISPs.First, it more than doubles flow coverage to support security applications and does so without compromising the accuracy of traditional traffic engineering applications.Second, it enables network operators to directly specify and achieve fine-grained network-wide monitoring objectives.Third, it naturally load balances monitoring responsibilities across routers and at the same time efficiently leverages the available capacity on each router.
Adequacy of Healthcare by Insurance Type in Traumatic Brain Injury Patients (2022)

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant contributor to disability, especially among patients younger than 18 years old in the United States. While insurance is often needed to receive services, studies investigating whether TBI treatment adequacy is dependent on the insurance type are scant. Our objective was to determine whether private insurance in paediatric TBI patients is associated with a higher perceived adequacy of healthcare compared with non-private insurance. This was a cross-sectional study utilising secondary data collected from the National Survey of Children Health 2011/12. The main exposure of interest was the insurance status of children at the time of a TBI (private vs non-private). The study outcome was the perceived adequacy of healthcare, defined as having coverage needs that were usually or always met by insurance. Unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression analysis were used. After adjustments for the covariates, the odds of adequate healthcare among those with non-private insurance compared with those with private were not statistically significant (OR 1.49; 95% CI 0.87–2.55). This study implicates paediatric TBI patients do not believe they receive adequate healthcare independent of insurance status. Clinicians, policy makers, and researchers need to better evaluate and address this issue.
Neuro-Symbolic Language Modeling with Automaton-augmented Retrieval (2022)

Retrieval-based language models (R-LM) model the probability of natural language text by combining a standard language model (LM) with examples retrieved from an external datastore at test time. While effective, a major bottleneck of using these models in practice is the computationally costly datastore search, which can be performed as frequently as every time step. In this paper, we present RetoMaton - retrieval automaton - which approximates the datastore search, based on (1) saving pointers between consecutive datastore entries, and (2) clustering of entries into "states". This effectively results in a weighted finite automaton built on top of the datastore, instead of representing the datastore as a flat list. The creation of the automaton is unsupervised, and a RetoMaton can be constructed from any text collection: either the original training corpus or from another domain. Traversing this automaton at inference time, in parallel to the LM inference, reduces its perplexity by up to 1.85, or alternatively saves up to 83% of the nearest neighbor searches over $k$NN-LM (Khandelwal et al., 2020) without hurting perplexity. Our code and trained models are available at https://github.com/neulab/retomaton .

Instabilities in Parallel Channel of Forced-Convection Boiling Upflow System, (I) (1977)

The instabilities occurring in forced-convection upflow passing through a parallel-channel system have been studied theoretically and experimentally, using water as test fluid. A non-linear mathematical model is proposed, that explains the results quite satisfactorily. Close agreement is obtained between calculations based on this model and measure-ments of the stable boundary in a system of two channels. The model is further applied to three and four parallel channels, the results of which indicate that the flow instability behavior in such multiple channels are quite similar to that observed in the two-channel system, in such aspects as the stable boundary, as well as the period and the development of flow oscillations in the unstable region.
Lessons Learned from Case Studies of Six High-Performance Buildings (2006)

Commercial buildings have a significant impact on energy use and the environment. They account for approximately 18% (17.9 quads) of the total primary energy consumption in the United States (DOE 2005). The energy used by the building sector continues to increase, primarily because new buildings are added to the national building stock faster than old buildings are retired. Energy consumption by commercial buildings will continue to increase until buildings can be designed to produce more energy than they consume. As a result, the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Building Technologies Program has established a goal to create the technology and knowledge base for marketable zero-energy commercial buildings (ZEBs) by 2025.
A Phase Domain Approach for Mitigation of Self-Interference in Wireless Transceivers (2009)

A novel approach for mitigation of self-interference in highly-integrated wireless transceivers is presented. Several examples of possible applications of this approach in a wireless cellular transceiver system-on-chip (SoC) are listed, and the application of one example is presented in detail. Mathematical analysis, simulation results, measurements, and implementation details are provided for the demonstrated technique, which was designed to minimize jitter induced onto the reference clock of a GSM transceiver's PLL. Excessive jitter on this clock, caused by multiple RF aggressors centered at harmonics of it, creates amplified in-band phase-noise at the RF output of the PLL, resulting in failures in the transmitter's performance. The identification of this highly complex interference mechanism, which represents a significant part of this work, is discussed in detail, as is the implemented solution. The presented phase-adjustment technique, leveraging specific features of the digitally intensive PLL and available digital-signal-processing resources, is demonstrated in a GSM system-on-chip (SoC) based on the Digital RF Processor (DRPtrade) technology in 90 nm CMOS. As it does not involve dedicated hardware, nor does it noticeably increase the current consumption, it represents a cost-free solution in the final product.
Taking the multi-wavelength DBO to the next level of accuracy and robustness (2020)

In multi patterning processes, overlay is now entangled with CD including OPC and stochastics. This combined effect is a serious challenge for continued shrink and is driving down the allowed overlay margin to an unprecedented level. We need to do everything to improve overlay where accurate measurement and control of wafer deformation is extremely important. This requires accuracy in overlay metrology that decouples target asymmetry from wafer deformation. Multiwavelength diffraction-based overlay (DBO) is positioned for providing such accuracy while maintaining the required measurement speed. At the same time, with the increase of process complexity in advanced nodes, several new types of target asymmetries are introduced. Some of such asymmetries vary even within the target / grating area (intra-grating) and some are so severe that it impacts the center of gravity shift of the overlay target.
Surface-Modified Carbon Dots with Improved Photoluminescence Quantum Yield for Color Conversion in White-Light-Emitting Diodes (2022)

Surface modification of p-phenylenediamine-derived carbon dots using 4-morpholinoaniline with an electron-donating and rigid structure followed by purification using silica gel column chromatography increased the photoluminescence quantum yield from 28.3 to 41.8% in chloroform. The improved photoluminescence quantum yield was observed for the surface modification by postaddition of the surface modifier after the formation of the π-conjugated structure of the carbon dot core but was not observed for the carbon dots prepared from a mixture of p-phenylenediamine and 4-morpholinoaniline. The finding of this work gives us an idea to design carbon dots with high photoluminescence quantum yield for application of color conversion in white-light-emitting diodes.
Micro-Transfer Printing for Heterogeneous Si Photonic Integrated Circuits (2022)

Silicon photonics (SiPh) is a disruptive technology in the field of integrated photonics and has experienced rapid development over the past two decades. Various high-performance Si and Ge/Si-based components have been developed on this platform that allow for complex photonic integrated circuits (PICs) with small footprint. These PICs have found use in a wide range of applications. Nevertheless, some non-native functions are still desired, despite the versatility of Si, to improve the overall performance of Si PICs and at the same time cut the cost of the eventual Si photonic system-on-chip. Heterogeneous integration is verified as an effective solution to address this issue, e.g. through die-wafer-bonding and flip-chip. In this paper, we discuss another technology, micro-transfer printing, for the integration of non-native material films/opto-electronic components on SiPh-based platforms. This technology allows for efficient use of non-native materials and enables the (co-)integration of a wide range of materials/devices on wafer scale in a massively parallel way. In this paper we review some of the recent developments in the integration of non-native optical functions on Si photonic platforms using micro-transfer printing.

The crystallization behavior of the West Valley reference borosilicate glass. Progress report, October 1, 1986--September 30, 1987 (1988)

The crystallization behavior of a fully simulated reference borosilicate glass was studied. This work was required by the Waste Acceptance Preliminary Specifications. It included preparing and characterizing the base glass in various redox states, and assessing the influence of redox state on crystallization behavior. Characterization tools included optical and electron microscopy, wet chemical analysis, x-ray diffraction, dilatometry, and differential scanning calorimetry. Effect of cooling a melt at a rate and history simulating in-canister cooling used for full-scale vitrification at West Valley also was determined. The fully oxidized glass composition study contains residual crystalline phases (spinel and cerium-thorium oxide) at 0.4--1.6 vol %. Upon isothermal heat treatment above a measured glass transition temperature of 478C, but below the estimated liquidus of 1000C, crystallization would increase to 4--5 vol % for times up to 384 hours. Crystallization products included spine, acmite, cerium-thorium oxide, and alumino silicates. Crystallization rate was maximum at 700--800C. After 12 hours at 800C the glass crystallized to 3.0 vol %. This same glass, when reduced to a redox state where the ratio of Fe{sup ++}/total iron was 10%, showed a lower crystallization maximum, i.e., 600--700C. The glass transition temperature of this partially reduced glass also was lowered from 478C (fully oxidized) to 474C. All of these observations are in accord with the general theories of glass science. A critical cooling rate of 1.48C/min would be sufficient to limit crystallization to less than 2.0 vol %. This predicted value was confirmed by cooling a melt at this temperature and then estimating the volume percent crystallization.

Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access for Hybrid VLC-RF Networks with Imperfect Channel State Information (2020)

The present contribution proposes a general framework for the energy efficiency analysis of a hybrid visible light communication (VLC) and Radio Frequency (RF) wireless system, in which both VLC and RF subsystems utilize nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technology. The proposed framework is based on realistic communication scenarios as it takes into account the mobility of users, and assumes imperfect channel-state information (CSI). In this context, tractable closed-form expressions are derived for the corresponding average sum rate of NOMA-VLC and its orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA)-VLC counterparts. It is shown extensively that incurred CSI errors have a considerable impact on the average energy efficiency of both NOMA-VLC and OFDMAVLC systems and hence, they should not be neglected in practical designs and deployments. Interestingly, we further demonstrate that the average energy efficiency of the hybrid NOMA-VLCRF system outperforms NOMA-VLC system under imperfect CSI. Respective computer simulations corroborate the derived analytic results and interesting theoretical and practical insights are provided, which will be useful in the effective design and deployment of conventional VLC and hybrid VLC-RF systems.

Graph Agreement Models for Semi-Supervised Learning (2019)

Graph-based algorithms are among the most successful paradigms for solving semi-supervised learning tasks. Recent work on graph convolutional networks and neural graph learning methods has successfully combined the expressiveness of neural networks with graph structures. We propose a technique that, when applied to these methods, achieves state-of-the-art results on semi-supervised learning datasets. Traditional graph-based algorithms, such as label propagation, were designed with the underlying assumption that the label of a node can be imputed from that of the neighboring nodes. However, real-world graphs are either noisy or have edges that do not correspond to label agreement. To address this, we propose Graph Agreement Models (GAM), which introduces an auxiliary model that predicts the probability of two nodes sharing the same label as a learned function of their features. The agreement model is used when training a node classification model by encouraging agreement only for the pairs of nodes it deems likely to have the same label, thus guiding its parameters to better local optima. The classification and agreement models are trained jointly in a co-training fashion. Moreover, GAM can also be applied to any semi-supervised classification problem, by inducing a graph whenever one is not provided. We demonstrate that our method achieves a relative improvement of up to 72% for various node classification models, and obtains state-of-the-art results on multiple established datasets.
Stochastic structural analysis for context-aware design and fabrication (2016)

In this paper we propose failure probabilities as a semantically and mechanically meaningful measure of object fragility. We present a stochastic finite element method which exploits fast rigid body simulation and reduced-space approaches to compute spatially varying failure probabilities. We use an explicit rigid body simulation to emulate the real-world loading conditions an object might experience, including persistent and transient frictional contact, while allowing us to combine several such scenarios together. Thus, our estimates better reflect real-world failure modes than previous methods. We validate our results using a series of real-world tests. Finally, we show how to embed failure probabilities into a stress constrained topology optimization which we use to design objects such as weight bearing brackets and robust 3D printable objects.
Vascular responsiveness and serum biochemical parameters in alloxan diabetes mellitus (1980)

Responses of isolated aorta and portal vein (PV) to norepinephrine (NE), angiotensin II (AII), KCl, and CaCl2 were investigated in alloxan diabetic rats. Based on serum biochemical parameters (i.e., glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, and creatinine) (alloxan, 150 mg/kg), diabetic rates were divided into three groups: 1) mildly diabetic at 1 week (only elevated glucose levels), 2) moderately diabetic at 4 wk (elevated glucose, triglycerides, and creatinine), and 3) severely diabetic at 8 wk (all serum biochemical parameters elevated). The sensitivity (i.e., ED50) of aortic smooth muscle from diabetic rats when compared to saline controls was 1) unchanged in mild diabetes; 2) decreased to KCl, AII, and CaCl2 in moderate diabetes; and 3) decreased to KCl, NE, and CaCl2 in severe diabetes. Ability of aortic smooth muscle to develop maximal contractions (i.e., contractility) to all these agonists was markedly diminished in severe diabetes. Spontaneous phasic contractions of PV from diabetic rats exhibited progressively greater tension as the disease advanced. Unlike aortas, contractility of PV to vasoactive agents was not affected at any stage of diabetes. PV sensitivity to AII in moderate diabetes and to Ca in severe diabetes was decreased when compared to saline controls. These differences in reactivity and contractility of aorta and PV in progressive stages of experimental diabetes could be due to alterations in calcium handling and its metabolism in arterial and venous smooth muscle cells in the diabetic state.
