    Abstract: A CAM testing procedure detects storage logic faults, comparison logic faults, and faults caused by interactions between the storage and comparison logic for both single port and dual port CAM's. To uncover faults in the storage logic, a series of read and write operations are performed, either using a standard test sequence, such as the March C algorithm, or any other desired test sequence. The CAM test, however, intermixes comparison operations with the read and write operations to uncover faults in the comparison logic. For dual port memories, the test sequence comprises executing comparison operations concurrently with the read and/or write operations, thus revealing faults between the storage and comparison logic. For single port memories, the test sequence comprises performing a comparison operation following the read/write operations at each address, immediately verifying the comparison logic at each address.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing sand control using fracturing is described. A curve is defined that correlates the percentage of flow through out-of-phase perforations (those perforations not aligned with fractures) with the fracture conductivity over formation permeability. Given a desired production flow, formation conductivity may be defined. This allows the well operator to perform the proper fracturing operation to achieve the desired fracture conductivity. Alternatively, after a well has been fractured, and sand production is observed, a critical flow rate and the corresponding drawdown pressure can be calculated to prevent sand production.

    Abstract: The present invention provides systems, methods and apparatus for depositing titanium films at rates up to 200 Å/minute on semiconductor substrates from a titanium tetrachloride source. In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, a ceramic heater assembly with an integrated RF plane for bottom powered RF capability allows PECVD deposition at a temperature of at least 400° C. for more efficient plasma treatment. A thermal choke isolates the heater from its support shaft, reducing the thermal gradient across the heater to reduce the risk of breakage and improving temperature uniformity of the heater. A deposition system incorporates a flow restrictor ring and other features that allow a 15 liters/minute flow rate through the chamber with minimal backside deposition and minimized deposition on the bottom of the chamber, thereby reducing the frequency of chamber cleanings, and reducing clean time and seasoning. Deposition and clean processes are also further embodiments of the present invention.
