    摘要: A redundant star network is disclosed. The network includes a peripheral device (PD), a control hub, and a backup hub. The control hub and backup hub each have a wireless long range transceiver, hardware processors, and hardware memory. The PD includes a wireless long range transceiver and a microcontroller. The control hub and backup hub hardware memories store system operation information. The system operation information includes instructions for controlling the PD. The PD microcontroller includes test firmware and update firmware. The test firmware instructs the PD to test the control hub and to listen for a test response signal indicating the control hub is operational. The PD update firmware instructs the PD to switch control of the PD to the backup hub when the test response signal is not received within an expected response timeframe after the test signal is sent.

    摘要: Forming a semiconductor device in an NVM region and in a logic region using a semiconductor substrate includes forming a dielectric layer and forming a first gate material layer over the dielectric layer. In the logic region, a high-k dielectric and a barrier layer are formed. A second gate material layer is formed over the barrier and the first material layer. Patterning results in gate-region fill material over the NVM region and a logic stack comprising a portion of the second gate material layer and a portion of the barrier layer in the logic region. An opening in the gate-region fill material leaves a select gate formed from a portion of the gate-region fill material adjacent to the opening. A control gate is formed in the opening over a charge storage layer. The portion of the second gate material layer is replaced with a metallic logic gate.

    摘要: A disclosed method of fabricating a hybrid nanopillar device includes forming a mask on a substrate and a layer of nanoclusters on the hard mask. The hard mask is then etched to transfer a pattern formed by the first layer of nanoclusters into a first region of the hard mask. A second nanocluster layer is formed on the substrate. A second region of the hard mask overlying a second region of the substrate is etched to create a second pattern in the hard mask. The substrate is then etched through the hard mask to form a first set of nanopillars in the first region of the substrate and a second set of nanopillars in the second region of the substrate. By varying the nanocluster deposition steps between the first and second layers of nanoclusters, the first and second sets of nanopillars will exhibit different characteristics.
