    Abstract: Uniform layouts for SRAM and register file bit cells are described. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a six transistor (6T) static random access memory (SRAM) bit cell on a substrate. The 6T SRAM bit cell includes first and second active regions parallel along a first direction of the substrate. First, second, third and fourth gate lines are over the first and second active regions, the first, second, third and fourth gate lines parallel along a second direction of the substrate, the second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

    Abstract: Metal-free frame designs for silicon bridges for semiconductor packages and the resulting silicon bridges and semiconductor packages are described. In an example, a semiconductor structure includes a substrate having an insulating layer disposed thereon, the substrate having a perimeter. A metallization structure is disposed on the insulating layer, the metallization structure including conductive routing disposed in a dielectric material stack. A first metal guard ring is disposed in the dielectric material stack and surrounds the conductive routing. A second metal guard ring is disposed in the dielectric material stack and surrounds the first metal guard ring. A metal-free region of the dielectric material stack surrounds the second metal guard ring. The metal-free region is disposed adjacent to the second metal guard ring and adjacent to the perimeter of the substrate.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for implementing high-speed Ethernet links using a hybrid PHY (Physical layer) selectively configurable to employ a non-interleaved RS-FEC (Reed Solomon Forward Error Correction) sublayer or an interleaved RS-FEC sublayer. An adaptive link training protocol is used during link training to determine whether to employ the non-interleaved or interleaved RS-FEC during link DATA mode. Training frames are exchanged between link partners including control and status fields used to respectfully request a non-interleaved or interleaved FEC mode and confirm the requested FEC mode is to be used during link DATA mode. The hybrid PHY includes interleaved RS-FEC and non-interleaved RS-FEC sublayers for transmitter and receiver operations. During link training, a determination is made to whether a local receiver is likely to see decision feedback equalizer (DFE) burst errors. If so, the interleaved FEC mode is selected; otherwise the non-interleaved FEC mode is selected or is the default FEC mode. The apparatus and methods may be implemented for 100 GB ASE-CR1 and 100 GB ASE-KR1 Ethernet links and interfaces.
