Abstract: Radiation detecting-structures and fabrications methods thereof are presented. The methods include, for instance: providing a substrate, the substrate including at least one trench extending into the substrate from an upper surface thereof; and epitaxially forming a radiation-responsive semiconductor material layer from one or more sidewalls of the at least one trench of the substrate, the radiation-responsive semiconductor material layer responding to incident radiation by generating charge carriers therein. In one embodiment, the sidewalls of the at least one trench of the substrate include a (111) surface of the substrate, which facilitates epitaxially forming the radiation-responsive semiconductor material layer. In another embodiment, the radiation-responsive semiconductor material layer includes hexagonal boron nitride, and the epitaxially forming includes providing the hexagonal boron nitride with an a-axis aligned parallel to the sidewalls of the trench.

Abstract: A page compression strategy classifies uncompressed pages selected for compression. Similarly classified pages are compressed and bound into a single logical page. For logical pages having pages with more than one classification, a weighting factor is determined for the logical page.

Abstract: Methods for facilitating fabricating semiconductor structures are provided which include: providing a multilayer structure including a semiconductor layer, the semiconductor layer including a dopant and having an increased conductivity; selectively increasing, using electrochemical processing, porosity of the semiconductor layer, at least in part, the selectively increasing porosity utilizing the increased conductivity of the semiconductor layer; and removing, at least in part, the semiconductor layer with the selectively increased porosity from the multilayer structure. By way of example, the selectively increasing porosity may include selectively, anodically oxidizing, at least in part, the semiconductor layer of the multilayer structure.

Abstract: A rule-based method for pre-fetching “important pages” from memory paging space back into kernel memory space performs the following steps: (i) establishing a first machine logic based rule, with the machine logic based rule including a first triggering condition and a first consequential responsive action; (ii) determining that the first triggering condition has occurred; and (iii) in response to the determination that the first triggering condition has occurred, performing the first consequential responsive action. The first triggering condition includes the following sub-conditions: (i) at least one of a first set of important page(s) of a computer system has been paged out of kernel memory space and into paging memory space, and (ii) a processing status of the computer system indicates that the first set of important page(s) will be likely to be required for computer operations.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes: a first layer including a n+ dopant or p+ dopant; an intrinsic layer formed above the first layer, the intrinsic layer including a planar portion and pillars extending above the planar portion, cavity regions being defined between the pillars; and a second layer deposited on a periphery of the pillars thereby forming coated pillars, the second layer being substantially absent on the planar portion of the intrinsic layer between the coated pillars. The second layer includes an n+ dopant when the first layer includes a p+ dopant. The second layer includes a p+ dopant when the first layer includes an n+ dopant. The apparatus includes a neutron sensitive material deposited between the coated pillars and above the planar portion of the intrinsic layer. In additional embodiments, an upper portion of each of the pillars includes a same type of dopant as the second layer.
