A transistor structure optimizes current along the A-face of a silicon carbide body to form an AMOSFET that minimizes the JFET effect in the drift region during forward conduction in the on-state. The AMOSFET further shows high voltage blocking ability due to the addition of a highly doped well region that protects the gate corner region in a trench-gated device. The AMOSFET uses the A-face conduction along a trench sidewall in addition to a buried channel layer extending across portions of the semiconductor mesas defining the trench. A doped well extends from at least one of the mesas to a depth within the current spreading layer that is greater than the depth of the trench. A current spreading layer extends between the semiconductor mesas beneath the bottom of the trench to reduce junction resistance in the on-state. A buffer layer between the trench and the deep well further provides protection from field crowding at the trench corner.

An integrated circuit comprises a plurality of tiles. Each tile comprises a processor, and a switch including switching circuitry to forward data received over data paths from other tiles to the processor and to switches of other tiles, and to forward data received from the processor to switches of other tiles. The integrated circuit further comprises one or more memory interface modules including circuitry to access an external memory, each memory interface module coupled to a switch of at least one tile. At least some of the tiles are configured to send a message to a memory interface module to determine whether previous memory transactions associated with a tile have been completed.

摘要:
A program execution data trace is created by instrumenting a program to record value sets during execution and an instruction trace. By simulating instructions either backward or forward from a first instruction associated with a recorded value set to a second instruction according to the instruction trace, a value set is determined for the second instruction. Backward and forward simulation can be combined to complement each other. For backward simulation, a table of simulation instructions is preferably maintained, which associates program instructions encountered in the instruction trace with simulation instructions which reverse the operation of the of the associated program instructions. Preferably, one or more probes is inserted into the program to save values of particular variables whose value may be difficult to determine. Preferably, the instruction trace is displayed alongside and correlated with the data trace. In one embodiment, the instruction trace is displayed and a value set is determined for an instruction upon a request by the user indicating the instruction for which the value set is desired.
