  • Patent number: 9870547
    Abstract: Systems of demand and capacity management with machine-time accuracy are provided. The system includes an allocation planning module, an order management module, a capacity model, and a capacity management module. The allocation planning module receives a demand plan for a product. The capacity management module transforms the demand plan into a machine-time-based plan according to the capacity model, and reserves capacity according to the machine-time-based plan for the demand plan. The capacity management module further transforms a purchase order received by the order management module before a cutoff date for the product into a machine-time-based order, accepts the machine-time-based order and decreases the reservation capacity depending on the machine-time-based plan.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7279755
    Abstract: A 6T SRAM cell includes a first inverter having a first pull-up transistor and a first pull-down transistor serially coupled between a supply source and a complementary supply source, and a second inverter cross-coupled with the first inverter having a second pull-up transistor and a second pull-down transistor serially coupled between the supply source and the complementary supply source. The cell further includes a first pass-gate and second pass-gate transistors coupled to the first and second inverters, respectively. The first pass-gate transistor and the first pull-up transistor are respectively constructed on a first P-type well and a first N-type well adjacent to one another, which are overlaid by a first doped region and a second doped region of substantially the same width in alignment with one another, respectively.

  • Patent number: 6876027
    Abstract: A method of forming a metal-oxide-metal (MIM), capacitor structure wherein the fabrication procedures used for the MIM capacitor structure are integrated into a process sequence used to form damascene type copper interconnect structures for CMOS type devices, has been developed. The process sequence features a copper damascene connector located overlying exposed portions of a semiconductor substrate, and underlying the MIM capacitor structure. The MIM capacitor structure, comprised a capacitor dielectric layer sandwiched between conductive capacitor plates, is protected during several selective reactive ion etching patterning procedures by an overlying anti-reflective coating (ARC), insulator shape, and by insulator spacers located on the sides of the ARC shape and on the sides of a capacitor dielectric shape.
