| 20120058281 | METHODS FOR FORMING LOW MOISTURE DIELECTRIC FILMS - A method for forming a pre-metal dielectric (PMD) layer or an inter-metal dielectric (IMD) layer over a substrate includes placing the substrate in a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process chamber and forming a first oxide layer over the substrate in the CVD process chamber. The first oxide layer is formed using a thermal CVD process at a temperature of about 450° C. or less and a sub-atmospheric pressure. The method also includes forming a second oxide layer over the first oxide layer in the CVD process chamber. The second oxide layer is formed using a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) process at a temperature of about 450° C. or less and a sub-atmospheric pressure. The substrate remains in the CVD process chamber during formation of the first oxide layer and the second oxide layer. | 03-08-2012 |

| 20110258012 | DYNAMIC WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURES FOR LOAN PROCESSING - Systems and methods are provided for processing loan applications in dynamic workflows. In a preferred embodiment, a system calls an activity engine with a top-level activity for processing a work-item, e.g., a loan application. The activity engine decomposes the top-level activity into child activities and lower-level child activities, and recursively calls itself to process the child activities until all constituent child activities have been preformed, thus performing the original top-level activity. In the preferred embodiment, each activity, work-item, user, event and role has associated rules, wherein an event represents a change in state of an activity and a role represents a class of users of the system having shared attributes. The evaluation of the associated rules dynamically creates the flow of activities, thereby creating a dynamic workflow. | 10-20-2011 |
