  • Patent number: 11687564
    Abstract: A system performs masking of data stored in a database. The system receives change logs from a source database and masks the change logs to generate masked change logs. The system stores the masked change logs in a pre-buffer. If the system determines that the set of masked change logs stored in the pre-buffer corresponds to a complete transaction, the system determines whether any conflicts exist between masked change logs stored in the pre-buffer and masked change logs stored in a main buffer. If the system identifies conflicts, the system applies the masked change logs stored in the main buffer to a masked replica database. This causes the system to move masked change logs corresponding to a complete transaction from the pre-buffer to the main buffer.

  • Patent number: 7576372
    Abstract: A method for making a free-standing, single crystal, aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN) wafer includes forming a single crystal AlGaN layer directly on a single crystal LiAlO2 substrate using an aluminum halide reactant gas, a gallium halide reactant gas, and removing the single crystal LiAlO2 substrate from the single crystal AlGaN layer to make the free-standing, single crystal AlGaN wafer. Forming the single crystal AlGaN layer may comprise depositing AlGaN by vapor phase epitaxy (VPE) using aluminum and gallium halide reactant gases and a nitrogen-containing reactant gas. The growth of the AlGaN layer using VPE provides commercially acceptable rapid growth rates. In addition, the AlGaN layer can be devoid of carbon throughout. Because the AlGaN layer produced is high quality single crystal, it may have a defect density of less than about 107cm?2.

  • Patent number: 7033858
    Abstract: A method is for making at least one semiconductor device including providing a sacrificial growth substrate of Lithium Aluminate (LiAlO2); forming at least one semiconductor layer including a Group III nitride adjacent the sacrificial growth substrate; attaching a mounting substrate adjacent the at least one semiconductor layer opposite the sacrificial growth substrate; and removing the sacrificial growth substrate. The method may further include adding at least one contact onto a surface of the at least one semiconductor layer opposite the mounting substrate, and dividing the mounting substrate and at least one semiconductor layer into a plurality of individual semiconductor devices. To make the final devices, the method may further include bonding the mounting substrate of each individual semiconductor device to a heat sink. The step of removing the sacrificial substrate may include wet etching the sacrificial growth substrate.

  • Patent number: 6648966
    Abstract: A method for making a free-standing, single crystal, gallium nitride (GaN) wafer includes forming a single crystal GaN layer directly on a single crystal LiAlO2 substrate using a gallium halide reactant gas, and removing the single crystal LiAlO2 substrate from the single crystal GaN layer to make the free-standing, single crystal GaN wafer. Forming the single crystal GaN layer may comprise depositing GaN by vapor phase epitaxy (VPE) using the gallium halide reactant gas and a nitrogen-containing reactant gas. Because gallium halide is used as a reactant gas rather than a metal organic reactant such as trimethygallium (TMG), the growth of the GaN layer can be performed using VPE which provides commercially acceptable rapid growth rates. In addition, the GaN layer is also devoid of carbon throughout. Because the GaN layer produced is high quality single crystal, it may have a defect density of less than about 107 cm−2.
