| 20100200991 | Dopant Enhanced Interconnect - Techniques are disclosed that enable an interconnect structure that is resistance to electromigration. A liner is deployed underneath a seed layer of the structure. The liner can be a thin continuous and conformal layer, and may also limit oxidation of an underlying barrier (or other underlying surface). A dopant that is compatible (non-alloying, non-reactive) with the liner is provided to alloy the seed layer, and allows for dopant segregation at the interface at the top of the seed layer. Thus, electromigration performance is improved. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20110084387 | DESIGNS AND METHODS FOR CONDUCTIVE BUMPS - Methods, techniques, and structures relating to die packaging. In one exemplary implementation, a die package interconnect structure includes a semiconductor substrate and a first conducting layer in contact with the semiconductor substrate. The first conducting layer may include a base layer metal. The base layer metal may include Cu. The exemplary implementation may also include a diffusion barrier in contact with the first conducting layer and a wetting layer on top of the diffusion barrier. A bump layer may reside on top of the wetting layer, in which the bump layer may include Sn, and Sn may be electroplated. The diffusion barrier may be electroless and may be adapted to prevent Cu and Sn from diffusing through the diffusion barrier. Furthermore, the diffusion barrier may be further adapted to suppress a whisker-type formation in the bump layer. | 04-14-2011 |
| 20110247872 | DEBOND INTERCONNECT STRUCTURES - The present subject matter relates to the field of fabricating microelectronic devices. In at least one embodiment, the present subject matter relates to forming an interconnect that has a portion thereof which becomes debonded from the microelectronic device during cooling after attachment to an external device. The debonded portion allows the interconnect to flex and absorb stress. | 10-13-2011 |

| 20110099012 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ESTIMATING THE RELIABILITY OF ALTERNATE SPEECH RECOGNITION HYPOTHESES IN REAL TIME - Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for estimating reliability of alternate speech recognition hypotheses. A system configured to practice the method receives an N-best list of speech recognition hypotheses and features describing the N-best list, determines a first probability of correctness for each hypothesis in the N-best list based on the received features, determines a second probability that the N-best list does not contain a correct hypothesis, and uses the first probability and the second probability in a spoken dialog. The features can describe properties of at least one of a lattice, a word confusion network, and a garbage model. In one aspect, the N-best lists are not reordered according to reranking scores. The determination of the first probability of correctness can include a first stage of training a probabilistic model and a second stage of distributing mass over items in a tail of the N-best list. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20110131048 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY GENERATING A DIALOG MANAGER - Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for automatically generating a dialog manager for use in a spoken dialog system. A system practicing the method receives a set of user interactions having features, identifies an initial policy, evaluates all of the features in a linear evaluation step of the algorithm to identify a set of most important features, performs a cubic policy improvement step on the identified set of most important features, repeats the previous two steps one or more times, and generates a dialog manager for use in a spoken dialog system based on the resulting policy and/or set of most important features. Evaluating all of the features can include estimating a weight for each feature which indicates how much each feature contributes to at least one of the identified policies. The system can ignore features not in the set of most important features. | 06-02-2011 |
