  • Publication number: 20080082814
    Abstract: A boot up method makes an electronic system boot up by a processor according to a boot code in a NAND flash memory and includes the following steps. First, the flash memory storing a boot code or boot codes is provided. Next, a first boot code is copied to an XIP memory in response to a hardware reset signal. Then, the processor executes the first boot code in the XIP memory and thus makes the system boot up. Next, whether the system boots up successfully is judged after a time delay. When the system fails to boot up, the system is reset and a second boot code is copied to the XIP memory. Thereafter, the processor executes the second boot code in the XIP memory and thus boots up the system. If the system still fails to boot up, the above-mentioned steps are repeated until the system boots up successfully.

  • Patent number: 7312136
    Abstract: A method for making a SOI wafer with a strained silicon layer for increased electron and hole mobility is achieved. The method forms a porous silicon layer on a seed wafer. A H2 anneal is used to form a smooth surface on the porous silicon. A strain free (relaxed) epitaxial SixGe1-x layer is deposited and a bonding layer is formed. The seed wafer is then bonded to a handle wafer having an insulator on the surface. A spray etch is used to etch the porous Si layer resulting in a SOI handle wafer having portions of the porous Si layer on the relaxed SixGe1-x. The handle wafer is then annealed in H2 to convert the porous Si to a smooth strained Si layer on the relaxed SiGe layer of the SOI wafer.
