  • Gate all around device architecture with local oxide
    Patent number: 9704995
    Abstract: A system and method for fabricating non-planar devices while managing short channel and heating effects are described. A semiconductor device fabrication process includes forming a non-planar device where the body of the device is insulated from the silicon substrate, but the source and drain regions are not insulated from the silicon substrate. The process builds a local silicon on insulator (SOI) while not insulating area around the source and drain regions from the silicon substrate. A trench is etched a length at least that of a channel length of the device while being bounded by a site for a source region and a site for a drain region. The trench is filled with relatively thick layers to form the local SOI. When nanowires of a gate are residing on top of the layer-filled trench, a second trench is etched into the top layer for depositing gate metal in the second trench.

  • Resource management for northbridge using tokens
    Patent number: 9697146
    Abstract: A processor uses a token scheme to govern the maximum number of memory access requests each of a set of processor cores can have pending at a northbridge of the processor. To implement the scheme, the northbridge issues a minimum number of tokens to each of the processor cores and keeps a number of tokens in reserve. In response to determining that a given processor core is generating a high level of memory access activity the northbridge issues some of the reserve tokens to the processor core. The processor core returns the reserve tokens to the northbridge in response to determining that it is not likely to continue to generate the high number of memory access requests, so that the reserve tokens are available to issue to another processor core.
