    摘要: Disclosed is an integrated circuit with multiple semiconductor fins having different widths and variable spacing on the same substrate. The method of forming the circuit incorporates a sidewall image transfer process using different types of mandrels. Fin thickness and fin-to-fin spacing are controlled by an oxidation process used to form oxide sidewalls on the mandrels, and more particularly, by the processing time and the use of intrinsic, oxidation-enhancing and/or oxidation-inhibiting mandrels. Fin thickness is also controlled by using sidewalls spacers combined with or instead of the oxide sidewalls. Specifically, images of the oxide sidewalls alone, images of sidewall spacers alone, and/or combined images of sidewall spacers and oxide sidewalls are transferred into a semiconductor layer to form the fins. The fins with different thicknesses and variable spacing can be used to form a single multiple-fin FET or, alternatively, various single-fin and/or multiple-fin FETs.

    摘要: Failover is provided between groups of logical units of storage presented as virtual arrays. A primary virtual array has at least one primary virtual port coupled to a fabric, each primary virtual port having a source virtual port name and a source virtual port address. A secondary virtual array has one or more secondary virtual ports coupled to the fabric, each secondary virtual port having a secondary virtual port name and a secondary virtual port address. All data resident on the primary virtual array is copied to the secondary virtual array. If a failure occurs in the primary virtual array, the secondary virtual port names and LUN names and numbers are replaced with the primary virtual port names and LUN names and numbers. The fabric then updates its name server database so that the database associates the primary virtual port names and LUN names and numbers with the secondary virtual port addresses.

    摘要: A device that detects and displays similar programs within a video system includes a memory, a display and a receiver that receives an input stream of television program content and electronic program guide data, wherein the program guide data includes a plurality of attributes characterizing television programs within the television program content. The receiver separates electronic program guide data from the input stream while the memory stores the electronic program guide data separated from the input stream. Upon receiving a first user request, a controller compares a first set of attributes relating to at least one television program within the television content with second sets of attributes relating to further television programs within the television program content to determine a correlation between the first television program and each of the further television programs. In this manner, the controller identifies the television programs that have attributes that are similar to the attributes of the first television program based on the correlation and displays indications of the television programs found to be similar.

    摘要: In a first aspect, a first method of reducing reissue latency of a command received in a command processing pipeline from one of a plurality of units coupled to a bus is provided. The first method includes the steps of (1) from a first unit coupled to the bus, receiving a first command on the bus requiring access to a cacheline; (2) determining a state of the cacheline required by the first command by accessing cacheline state information stored in each of the plurality of units; (3) determining whether a second command received on the bus requires access to the cacheline before the state of the cacheline is returned to the first unit; and (4) if so, storing the second command in a buffer. Numerous other aspects are provided.

    摘要: Standard photolithography is used to pattern and fabricate a final polysilicon wafer imaged structure which is smaller than normal allowable photo-lithographic minimum dimensions. Three different methods are provided to produce such sub-minimum dimension structures, a first method uses a photolithographic mask with a sub-minimum space between minimum size pattern features of the mask, a second method uses a photolithographic mask with a sub-minimum widthwise jog or offset between minimum size pattern features of the mask, and a third method is a combination of the first and second methods. Each of the three methods can be used with three different embodiments, a first embodiment is a polysilicon E-Fuse with a sub-minimum width polysilicon fuse line, a second embodiment is a work function altered/programmed self-aligned MOSFET E-Fuse with a sub-minimum width fuse line, and a third embodiment is a polysilicon MOSFET E-Fuse with a sub-minimum width fuse line which is programmed with a low trigger voltage snapback.
