20090019427 | Method and Apparatus for Providing Requirement Driven Static Analysis of Test Coverage for Web-Based, Distributed Processes - A method (which can be computer implemented) for analyzing test coverage of distributed processes includes the steps of identifying at least one of the processes that is invoked by a test case, mapping at least a portion of the test case to a plurality of specific test paths in the at least one of the processes, and identifying given ones of the test paths as possibly relevant in at least one of the processes, if the test paths are not infeasible. | 01-15-2009 |
20090019428 | Method for Analyzing Transaction Traces to Enable Process Testing - Techniques are provided for analyzing testing coverage of one or more software modules to provide process coverage statistics. The techniques include obtaining one or more coverage measures from a test specification document, performing a trace on each of the one or more coverage measures during a test, analyzing each trace to generate a run-time service choreography model for a process, wherein the model includes each of one or more service choreography patterns occurring in the process, and using the model to provide statistical data on test coverage according to a process definition. | 01-15-2009 |
20090183143 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING TEST CASES OF SOFTWARE SYSTEM - A method and an apparatus for generating test cases of a software system. The method includes the steps of: tracing a user request to acquire IT events related to each service and/or component invocation; forming IT transactions based on correlation information in IT events; correlating said IT transactions based on predetermined correlation rules, in order to form a business transaction; and extracting from the business transaction a business transaction pattern corresponding to said business transaction. The method further includes generating test cases of a software system based on the generated business transaction pattern. The apparatus includes hardware for accomplishing the foregoing method steps. | 07-16-2009 |
20090248641 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING ANOMALISTIC DATA RECORD - A method and apparatus for detecting an anomalistic data record. The method includes the steps of mining a data rule from a verified data record set in accordance with a mining rule, checking data records in an unverified data record set in accordance with the mined data rule and determining a data record unconformable to the mined data rule as an anomalistic data record. The apparatus includes a mining device configured to mine a data rule from a verified data record set in accordance with a mining rule and a checking device configured to check a data record in an unverified data record set in accordance with the mined data rule and to determine a data record unconformable to the mined data rule as an anomalistic data record. | 10-01-2009 |

20130061876 | Semiconductor Device Surface Clean - A system and method for cleaning a surface of a semiconductor device is disclosed. An embodiment comprises buffing the first surface with a cleaning solution comprising a reactant that will remove a portion of the first surface and also change the first surface from hydrophobic to hydrophilic. The first surface may further be cleaned using a brushing process that also utilizes the cleaning solution. | 03-14-2013 |
20130065394 | Process for Forming Contact Plugs - A method includes forming an etch stop layer over and contacting a gate electrode of a transistor, forming a sacrificial layer over the etch stop layer, and etching the sacrificial layer, the etch stop layer, and an inter-layer dielectric layer to form an opening. The opening is then filled with a metallic material. The sacrificial layer and excess portions of the metallic material over a top surface of the etch stop layer are removed using a removal step including a CMP process. The remaining portion of the metallic material forms a contact plug. | 03-14-2013 |
20130192634 | BRUSH CLEANING SYSTEM - A plate with a static charge on a surface is used to clean a brush. The plate uses both static charge and mechanical force to remove particles from the surface of the brush to increase the useful life of the brush. | 08-01-2013 |
20150024661 | MECHANISMS FOR REMOVING DEBRIS FROM POLISHING PAD - Embodiments of mechanisms for performing a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process are provided. A method for performing a CMP process includes polishing a wafer by using a polishing pad. The method also includes applying a cleaning liquid jet on the polishing pad to condition the polishing pad. A CMP system is also provided. | 01-22-2015 |
