Abstract: A semiconductor device has an active region that includes a semiconductor layer. A transistor is formed in and above the active region, wherein the transistor has an implanted halo region that includes a halo dopant species and defines a halo dopant profile in the semiconductor layer. An implanted carbon species is positioned in the semiconductor layer, wherein the implanted carbon species defines a carbon species profile in the semiconductor layer that is substantially the same as the halo dopant profile of the implanted halo region in the semiconductor layer.

Abstract: A method for receiving and outputting radio signals to set up a BLUETOOTH® connection which includes receiving, within a predetermined period, at least two of the advertising data packets which originate from a device; determining starting times of the two advertising data packets; and outputting, after the predetermine period, of the device's own advertising data packets, at the device's own starting times which are selected so that the device's own advertising data packets do not chronologically overlap with advertising data packets which are output by the device after the predetermined period.

Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor device is provided including co-implanting a halo species and carbon in a semiconductor layer with a finite tilt angle with respect to a direction perpendicular to the surface of the semiconductor layer. Furthermore, a semiconductor device is provided including an N-channel transistor comprising a halo region made of a halo species with a dopant profile formed in a semiconductor layer and a carbon species implanted in the semiconductor layer with substantially the same dopant profile as the dopant profile of the halo region.

Abstract: A host controller having a first communication interface, or protocol, writes to and reads from one or more slave devices each having a second communication interface, or protocol, which is different from the first, through a translation device, or integrated circuit, that is responsive to command streams from the host controller. The present invention provides a high-level communications protocol by which command information and data are passed to a translation device, and the translation device interprets these commands and engages in the desired data transfer operation between the host controller and the slave devices. In a further aspect of the present invention, the high-level communications protocol also includes commands interpreted by the translation device to achieve data transfers between the host controller and the translation device, including accessing internal registers and I/O ports of the translation device.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of methods and apparatuses to provide shielding from key cracking in wireless networks are described. In one embodiment, a first frame having a first content is identified. Determination is made whether the first frame needs to be shielded. A second frame having at least a portion of the first content is transmitted in response to determining that the first frame needs to be shielded. The first frame has data encrypted with a first encryption and the second frame has data encrypted with a second encryption.
