    摘要: A significant and very effective decoupling capacitor and heat sink combination that, in a single structure provides both a heat sink and a decoupling capacitor in close proximity to the active circuit on the chip requiring either heat sinking or decoupling capacitance or both. This is achieved by forming on a semiconductor chip, having a buried oxide layer therein, an integrated high-performance decoupling capacitor that uses a metallic deposit greater than 30 microns thick formed on the back surface of the chip and electrically connected to the active chip circuit to result in a significant and very effective decoupling capacitor and heat sink in close proximity to the active circuit on the chip requiring such decoupling capacitance and heat sinking capabilities. The decoupling capacitance can use the substrate of the chip itself as one of the capacitive plates and a formed metallic deposit as the second capacitive plate which also serves as a heat sink for the active circuit formed in the chip. The structure thus provides both a significant and effective decoupling capacitance in close proximity to the active circuit on the chip requiring such decoupling capacitance as well as providing improved heat sinking for the decoupled active circuit.

    摘要: The present invention is especially directed towards an improved clocked buffer circuit that will clock, decode, repeat and invert an input signal. The clocked buffer circuit uses a clocked latch coupled to a decode circuit such that not only will the applied clock signal control the decode circuit, but the output of the latch will also control the decode circuit thus assuring the output of the decode circuit becomes latched into the set by the input clock signal.

    摘要: This invention provides structures and a fabrication process for incorporating thin film transistors in back end of the line (BEOL) interconnect structures. The structures and fabrication processes described are compatible with processing requirements for the BEOL interconnect structures. The structures and fabrication processes utilize existing processing steps and materials already incorporated in interconnect wiring levels in order to reduce added cost associated with incorporating thin film transistors in the these levels. The structures enable vertical (3D) integration of multiple levels with improved manufacturability and reliability as compared to prior art methods of 3D integration.

    摘要: Disclose are embodiments of an integrated circuit design method based on a combination of manufacturability, test coverage and, optionally, diagnostic coverage. Design-for manufacturability (DFM) modifications to the layout of an integrated circuit can be made in light of test coverage. Alternatively, test coverage of an integrated circuit can be established in light of DFM modifications. Alternatively, an iterative process can be performed, where DFM modifications to the layout of an integrated circuit are made in light of test coverage and then test coverage is altered in light of the DFM modifications. Alternatively, DFM modifications to the layout of an integrated circuit can be made in light of test coverage and also diagnostic coverage. In any case, after making DFM modifications and establishing test coverage, any unmodified and untested nodes (and, optionally, any unmodified and undiagnosable tested nodes) in the integrated circuit can be identified and tagged for subsequent in-line inspection.

    摘要: An integrated circuit includes a plurality of processor cores and a readable non-volatile memory that stores information expressive of at least one operating characteristic for each of the plurality of processor cores. Also disclosed is a method to operate a data processing system, where the method includes providing a multicore processor that contains a plurality of processor cores and a readable non-volatile memory that stores information, determined during a testing operation, that is indicative of at least a maximum operating frequency for each of the plurality of processor cores. The method further includes operating a scheduler coupled to an operating system and to the multicore processor, where the scheduler is operated to be responsive at least in part to information read from the memory to schedule the execution of threads to individual ones of the processor cores for a more optimal usage of energy.
