    Abstract: Some implementations herein provide for a memory device and methods of formation. The memory device includes a plurality of storage cells arranged vertically and a plurality of corresponding gate all around transistors. Methods of forming the memory device include using a single trench to remove a liner material and form recesses that define cell contact lightly-doped drain regions of the gate all around transistors. Using the single trench to remove the liner material and form the recesses that define the cell contact lightly-doped drain region widths causes the cell contact lightly-doped drain regions to be formed having substantially similar widths.

  • Patent number: 12189542
    Abstract: Technologies for secure device configuration and management include a computing device having an I/O device. A trusted agent of the computing device is trusted by a virtual machine monitor of the computing device. The trusted agent securely commands the I/O device to enter a trusted I/O mode, securely commands the I/O device to set a global lock on configuration registers, receives configuration data from the I/O device, and provides the configuration data to a trusted execution environment. In the trusted I/O mode, the I/O device rejects a configuration command if a configuration register associated with the configuration command is locked and the configuration command is not received from the trusted agent. The trusted agent may provide attestation information to the trusted execution environment. The trusted execution environment may verify the configuration data and the attestation information. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
