摘要:
A method for forming an electrical interconnect overlying a buried contact region of a substrate is characterized by a deposition of a first polycrystalline silicon layer and the patterning and etching of same to form a via. The via is formed in the first polycrystalline silicon layer to expose the substrate and a second polycrystalline silicon layer is formed in the via to contact the substrate. Portions of the second polycrystalline silicon layer overlying the first polycrystalline silicon layer are removed eliminating any horizontal interface between the two polycrystalline silicon layers. The first polycrystalline silicon layer remaining after the etch is then patterned to form an electrical interconnect.

The invention provides a fuel additive compound represented by the general formula (I) wherein n is zero or an integer from 1 to 20 and in each succinic acid moiety one of R1 and R3 is a C3—C80 internal olefin moiety, and the other of R1 and R3 is hydrogen. Additive compositions containing such compounds have low viscosity and are useful in increasing the lubricity of middle distillate fuels.

A transport interface (10) provides add drop multiplex functionality and termination requirements for the transportation of network traffic. The transport interface (10) includes high speed units (12), broadband interfaces (16), and SONET formatters (18). Each high speed unit (12), broadband interface (16), and SONET formatter has redundant protection pairs (A and B). The high speed units (12), broadband interfaces (16), and SONET formatters (18) communicate with each other by in-band datalinks (40). The redundant protection pairs (A and B) communicate with one another by protection pair datalinks (42). The in-band datalinks (40) and the protection pair datalinks (42) provide an effective means for performing protection switching within the transport interface (10) in the event of component failure. The in-band datalinks (40) are generated out of available or consumed bytes within either a section overhead (32) or a line overhead (34) of SONET OC-N frame (30). The protection pair datalinks (42) provide communication capability over a common control communications interface. The in-band datalinks (40) and the protection pair data links (42) work together to provide a smooth transition from one component to another in the event of a protection switch.

A high-speed communication system (32) comprises a serial-to-parallel converter (38) for arbitrary converting a stream of serial data to a stream of arbitrarily aligned parallel data. A pattern detector (44) is coupled to the serial-to-parallel converter (38) for detecting a predetermined pattern from the stream of parallel data and generating a phase signal responsive to the detection of the pattern. An aligner (42) coupled to the pattern detector (44) generates an aligned stream of parallel data responsive to the phase signal.

In the provided architecture, one or more multi-threaded processors may be combined with hardware blocks. The resulting combination allows for data packets to undergo a processing sequence having the flexibility of software programmability with the high-performance of dedicated hardware. For example, a multi-threaded processor can control the high-level tasks of a processing sequence, while the computationally intensive events (e.g., signal processing filters, matrix operations, etc.) are handled by dedicated hardware blocks.

摘要:
The invention includes methods of fabricating multiple sets of field effect transistors. In one implementation, an etch stop layer is formed over an insulative capping layer which is formed over a conductive gate layer formed over a substrate. The etch stop layer, the insulative capping layer, and the conductive gate layer are patterned and etched to form a first set of conductive gate constructions over the substrate. A dielectric material is formed and planarized over the first set of gate constructions. Thereafter, the insulative capping layer and the conductive gate layer are patterned and etched to form a second set of conductive gate constructions over the substrate. Other aspects and implementations are contemplated.

A multi-rate transmission system (10) includes a receive section (12) and a transmit section (14). The receive section includes a receiver (16), a clock recovery unit (18), and a serial to parallel converter (20) all operating at a first clock rate (M). The receiver (16) also has a frame recovery unit (22) that operates at any of a plurality of clock rates, including the first clock rate (M) and a second clock rate (M/n). When the frame recovery unit operates at the first clock rate (M), frame information received by the receiver section (12) has unique bits occupying each bit position associated with each clock pulse of the first clock rate (M). When the frame recovery unit (22) operates at the second clock rate (M/n), each unique bit of the frame information occupies a number of bit positions according to a ratio of the first clock rate (M) to the second clock rate (M/n). Similar operation occurs with respect to a frame formatter (30) in the transmit section (14) of the multi-rate transmission system (10).
