  • Publication number: 20160357461
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a data storage system and specific command execution method thereof, which is applied to a memory storage system. When a memory manager receives an command from a host system, it can judge whether the command is a normal command or a specific command. If the command is the specific command, read a first logic sector address, an accessible data length and a second logic sector address in the specific command, and duplicate the first logic sector address pointing to the physical storage address of the stored data reading to a memory buffer; and move physical storage address pointing to that from the first logic sector address to the second logic sector address. It can achieve both data reading and data moving by one specific command.

  • Patent number: 9255944
    Abstract: A platinum-platinum silicide modified silicon composite tip apex, and a method for forming the aforesaid tip apex are disclosed, where a metallic precursor solution and a silicon probe are reacted to form a local platinum nano-structure, which could be precisely controlled with local selectivity, and a local platinum silicide layer is formed between the platinum nano-structure and the silicon probe with an atmospheric microwave annealing (a-MWA) process conducted as well, largely enhancing the conductivity of the tip and spatial resolution of the field detection in field sensitive scanning probe microscopy. In addition to exemption from a stray-field effect and thus having better image quality, the platinum silicide-containing probe could more efficiently enhance the interfacial electron transfer efficiency as compared to the probe tip having only a platinum nano-structure, so that the probe could be applicable to a controlled conductive probe having high spatial resolution.
