  • Publication number: 20230317517
    Abstract: Integrated circuit interconnect structures including an interconnect metallization feature comprising a sidewall reacted with a chalcogen into a low resistance liner. A portion of a backbone material or a metal seed layer may be advantageously converted into a metal chalcogenide, which can lower scattering resistance of an interconnect feature relative to alternative diffusion barrier materials, such a tantalum. Scattering resistance of such metal chalcogenide liner materials may be further reduced by actively cooling an IC, for example to cryogenic temperatures.

    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms to facilitate access to a cache based on a dual basis partition scheme. In an embodiment, a first one or more registers of a processor provide information which describes multiple set-wise partitions of a cache. A second one or more registers of the processor provides additional information which describes multiple way-wise partitions of the cache. A virtual cache is defined as that region of the cache which is both in a particular set-wise partition, and in a particular way-wise partition. In another embodiment, a cache agent of the processor performs operations, based on the set-wise partitioning and the way-wise partitioning, to determine a mapping of one address—which is provided in a memory access request, and which indicates a location in one virtual cache—to another address which indicates another location in a different virtual cache.
