Abstract: A method for manufacturing an array of small pitch small feature size structures on a wafer. The method includes depositing a device layer, depositing a hard mask layer over the device layer, depositing a thin SiO2 adhesion layer over the hard mask layer and then forming a photoresist mask over the SiO2 adhesion layer. The presence of the SiO2 adhesion layer prevents toppling or deformation of the photoresist mask, thereby allowing the image of the photoresist mask to be accurately and reliably transferred onto the underlying hard mask. Then, the image of the hard mask can be accurately transferred to the underlying device layer.

Based on the performance of the set of validation operation, the program also modifies the first field in the copy of the master data with the new value based on the supplier identifier and sends a second request to the first system to modify the first field in the master data managed by the first system.

Abstract: Presented herein is an exemplified system and method that provides visibility, for traffic analytics, into secured encapsulated packet (e.g., secure VXLAN-GPE packet, a secure metadata-GPE packet or other GPE standards). The exemplified system and method facilitate encryption of traffic in a granular manner that also facilitate the monitoring of said secure traffic in a fabric network in an end-to-end manner throughout the network. Such monitoring can be beneficially used for analytics, performance analysis, and network debugging/troubleshooting.

Abstract: In response to a request received from a client device to view an item, a program determines a category associated with the item and a location associated with a user of the client device. The program also identifies a form based on the category and the location. The form comprises a set of fields. The program then provides a graphical user interface (GUI) that includes the form to the client device. The program also receives, through the GUI, data values for the set of fields from the client device and a request to add the item to a collection of items. The program then identifies a policy based on the category and the location. The program also applies the policy to the data values for the set of fields. The program then sends a notification to the client device indicating a result of the application of the policy.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing magnetic random access memory. The method allows very high density magnetic memory elements to be formed on a magnetic memory chip. A magnetic memory element material is deposited and a diamond like carbon (DLC) hard mask is formed over the magnetic memory element material. An ion or atom bombardment process such as ion milling is performed to remove portions of the magnetic memory element material that are not protected by the hard mask to form a plurality of magnetic memory element pillars. Because the diamond like carbon hard mask is resistant to the material removal processes such as ion milling, it can be made very thin (10-20 nm), which reduces shadowing while still allowing a process such as ion milling to be used to define the magnetic data element pillars. This advantageously allows the pillars to be formed with well defined, vertical sidewalls, and avoiding shorting.
