  • Data encoding techniques for a device
    Patent number: 9734009
    Abstract: A data storage device includes a controller and a non-volatile memory coupled to the controller. The controller is configured to generate first parity information based on first data and to generate second parity information based on second data. The non-volatile memory is configured to store the first data and the second data. The data storage device also includes a buffer configured to store the first parity information. The controller is further configured to generate joint parity information associated with the first data and the second data in response to a combined data size of the first data and the second data satisfying a threshold.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 8, 2015
    Date of Patent: August 15, 2017
    Assignee: SANDISK TECHNOLOGIES LLC
    Inventors: Xinde Hu, Christopher John Petti, Eran Sharon, Idan Alrod, Ariel Navon

  • Method of fabricating a self-aligning damascene memory structure
    Patent number: 9082786
    Abstract: A method of forming a memory cell is provided. The method includes forming a first pillar-shaped element that includes a first semiconductor material, forming a first opening self-aligned with the first pillar-shaped element, and depositing a second semiconductor material in the first opening to form a second pillar-shaped element above the first pillar-shaped element. Other aspects are also provided.
