    Abstract: A debugging control system using inside-core events as trigger conditions and a method of the same are revealed. The method includes following steps. First set up at least one trigger condition and a search range of the clock cycle according to internal states of a core under debug. Pause clock and recover clock of each clock cycle within the search range. Retrieve data of scan chains of the core under debug by a shift buffer during the clock pausing. Next combine data of the scan chains by a trigger comparator circuit to form trigger signals and check whether the trigger signals satisfy the trigger condition. If the trigger condition is satisfied or the trigger signal is over the search range, the clock is paused continuingly and internal states of the scan chains of the core under debug are output otherwise the core under debug is recovered.

  • Cu/CuMn BARRIER LAYER AND FABRICATING METHOD THEREOF
    Publication number: 20140332961
    Abstract: In the present invention, the pure Cu film is deposited on the CuMn film and the Mn atoms are induced to diffuse within the dielectric layer. The barrier properties of this self-forming barrier are sensitive to the thickness, the annealing temperature, the annealing time and the impurity concentration of itself. The bi-layer structure reduces the resistance of the barrier and improves the surface morphology during the electroplating process because the Mn atoms will be more easily corroded and oxidized in sulfuric acid with respect to the Cu. After annealing, the thermal stability and the barrier properties of the Cu/CuMn films is better than either single Cu film or single CuMn film.
