Abstract: A memory cell includes a selector, a fuse connected to the selector in series, a contact etch stop layer formed on the selector and the fuse, a bit line connected to the fuse, and a word line connected to the selector. The contact etch stop layer includes a high-k dielectric for improving the ability of capturing the electrons, thus the retention time of the memory cell is increased.

Abstract: A control structure for a power supply cluster which has a primary power supply and a secondary power supply that are independently linked to AC power and transform the AC power to DC power to supply electric power required by an electronic device in a computer equipment. A switch unit is provided to be linked to the primary power supply and the secondary power supply to get a start signal from the primary power supply and transfer to the secondary power supply. Electric power of the primary power supply also is transferred to the electronic device to present a first power supply status. A judgment unit also is provided to be linked to the primary power supply and the switch unit to get the start signal and defer sending a switch signal to the switch unit so that the electronic device can get electric power from the secondary power supply and present a second power supply status.

Abstract: A power supply system for personal computers aims to provide an additional sub-power supply needed when a personal computer requires a power greater than what can be provided by the original main power supply. This invention provides a sub-power supply in the spare space of the existing chassis of the personal computer without removing the main power supply to augment the power supply. The starting power of the sub-power supply is provided by the main power supply. Hence when the personal computer is in the machine stop condition, only the main power supply consumes electric power. Thereby this invention can preserve a green power.

Abstract: An output voltage circuit for power supply aims to arrange output DC power according to component voltage and equalizing current. The power supply has a voltage transformation circuit which consists of transformers each has at least one high voltage power and one low voltage power. The high voltage power output from each transformer is coupled in parallel and integrated on the same line to be output to a load at the rear end. Each low voltage power is output through a single line to another load at the rear end. Thus the load of the transformers is reduced and a desired electricity condition can be maintained.

Abstract: An external power distribution architecture of a power supply, wherein the existing DC voltages V1, V2 transformed from AC by the power supply are further transformed into the power used by external electronic devices plugged in external power ports. In the present invention, two different levels of DC voltages V1, V2 transformed by the power supply are defined to be voltage sources, and two different levels of target DC voltages V3, V4 output by the external power ports are respectively derived from the DC voltage sources V1, V2 closest to corresponding target voltages V3, V4. Thereby, the present invention can balance power output and reduce transformation power loss.
