Patent number: 9893278Abstract: The present disclosure relates an integrated circuit (IC). The IC comprises a memory region and a logic region. A lower metal layer is disposed over a substrate, and comprises a first lower metal line within the memory region. An upper metal layer overlies the lower metal layer, and comprises a first upper metal line within the memory region. A memory cell is disposed between the first lower metal line and the first upper metal line, and comprises a planar bottom electrode. The planar bottom electrode abuts a first lower metal via of the lower metal layer. By forming the planar bottom electrode and connecting the planar bottom electrode to the lower metal layer through the lower metal via, no additional BEVA planarization and/or patterning processes are needed. As a result, risk of damaging the lower metal lines are reduced, thereby providing more reliable read/write operations and/or better performance.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2016Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Harry-Hak-Lay Chuang, Chun-Heng Liao

Patent number: 9866658Abstract: SAS expanders are commonly used within a SAS network topology to allow multiple disk drives (targets) to connect to multiple host devices (initiators). A connection between an initiator and a target is setup inside an expander on the pathway between the initiator and the target. A source device sends a connection request message called an open address frame using in-band signaling. The expander processes the open address frame and forwards an modified open address frame to the next expander in the path or to the final destination device.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2016Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Assignee: MICROSEMI STORAGE SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Cheng Yi, Heng Liao, Calvin Leung
