Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for reducing the load on the bitlines of a ROM bitcell array are described. The connections between nets of a ROM bitcell array may be assigned based on their programmed values using a traditional approach. Then, a plurality of optimizations may be performed on the assignment of nets to reduce the load on the bitlines of the array. A first optimization may swap the connections between ground and bitline for the nets of a given column responsive to detecting that the number of connections to the corresponding bitline is greater than the number of connections to ground for the given column. A second optimization may remove the connection of a net to a bitline if three consecutive nets of a given column are connected to the bitline.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for reducing the area of a semiconductor structure. A spacing violation may be detected for a gap width used to separate first and second regions of a layer of semiconductor material. In response to detecting the violation, the first and second regions are merged into a combined region, and then a cut mask layer is formed above the combined region. Next, an etch process is performed through the cut mask layer to remove an exposed third region within the combined region, wherein the exposed third region is interposed between first and second region portions of the combined region.

Abstract: The present invention relates to synthesizing reduced graphene oxide on the surface of a metal sheet and glass. The invention particularly relates to a process for coating a substrate with reduced graphene oxide using seedlac as a carbon source. As per the process of the current invention, a solution of seedlac is prepared in an alcohol and the substrate is dipped in to the solution for one or more time. The substrate is then dried in air for 1-10 minutes and thereafter, heated to a temperature range of 400 to 1200° C. under controlled atmosphere of Ar/N2/Ar—H2/N2—H2 at a different flow rate ranging from 100 to 500 seem for a period of 10 to 120 minutes.

Abstract: A method is provided that includes: receiving information for a posting from a user associated with a local location and a regional location, the posting information including a location context; creating a posting, using the posting information; and making the posting viewable by members that have a location context that matches the location context determined for the posting. The method can include allowing other members to respond to the posting of the user if the other members match the location context determined for the posting. The method can also include making a connection between one of the members and the user and notifying the member of the posting by the user. The method can also include notifying a moderator of the posting and only making the posting viewable by members that have a location context that matches the location context determined for the posting if the moderator approves the posting.
