  • Patent number: 11968038
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for monitoring application health via correctable errors. The method includes identifying, by a network device, a network packet associated with an application and detecting an error associated with the network packet. In response to detecting the error, the network device increments a counter associated with the application, determines an application score based at least in part on the counter, and telemeters the application score to a controller. The controller can generate a graphical interface based at least in part on the application score and a timestamp associated with the application score, wherein the graphical interface depicts a trend in correctable errors experienced by the application over a network.

    Abstract: Embodiments herein include void-free material depositions on a substrate (e.g., in a void-free trench-filled (VFTF) component) obtained using directional etching to remove predetermined portions of a seed layer covering the substrate. In several embodiments, directional etching followed by selective deposition can enable fill material (e.g., metal) patterning in tight spaces without any voids or seams. Void-free material depositions may be used in a variety of semiconductor devices, such as transistors, dual work function stacks, dynamic random-access memory (DRAM), non-volatile memory, and the like.
