Publication number: 20170352546Abstract: Disclosed are sulfur-containing compounds for plasma etching channel holes, gate trenches, staircase contacts, capacitor holes, contact holes, etc., in Si-containing layers on a substrate and plasma etching methods of using the same. The plasma etching compounds may provide improved selectivity between the Si-containing layers and mask material, less damage to channel region, a straight vertical profile, and reduced bowing in pattern high aspect ratio structures.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2017Publication date: December 7, 2017Inventors: Rahul GUPTA, Venkateswara R. PALLEM, Vijay SURLA, Curtis ANDERSON, Nathan STAFFORD

Patent number: 9836345Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for collecting forensics associated with a failure of a storage controller. For example, a storage node, of a cluster environment, may comprise a service processor and a storage controller. The storage controller may manage a storage device accessible, through the storage controller, to one or more client devices. The service processor may manage the storage controller (e.g., collect operational statistics of the storage controller, perform software and/or firmware updates for the storage controller, etc.). The service processor may obtain forensics associated with a failure of the storage controller, and may provide the forensics to a cluster health monitor notwithstanding the storage controller being in an inoperable state (e.g., the service processor may send the forensics through a network interface controller of the storage node, over a non-client storage management network, to the cluster health monitor).Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2015Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: NetApp, Inc.Inventors: Brad A. Reger, Curtis Anderson, Pradeep K. Kalra

Patent number: 9781201Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for multicast transport configuration, for multicast transport, and/or for fault policy implementation. In an example, a multicast component may receive a data copy request from an application to copy data to multiple destinations. A scheduler component may create a transport schedule specifying an order with which to facilitate data copy operations across transports, such as heterogeneous transports, to the destinations. A dispatcher component may apply application specified transport modifiers to the data copy operations (e.g., a modification to a quality of service for a transport). The dispatcher component may facilitate the data copy operations and provide operation result information to a policy agent. The policy agent may provide notifications of data copy operation statuses from the operation result information and/or may implement a fault policy (e.g., a retry on a different transport) for a data copy operation that experienced a fault.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2014Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: NetApp Inc.Inventors: Allen E. Tracht, Curtis Anderson, Tabriz Holtz, George Totolos, Jr.
