  • Passivation Structure For GaN Field Effect Transistor
    Publication number: 20190148498
    Abstract: An improved passivation structure for GaN field effect transistor comprising at least one dielectric layer formed on a top surface of a GaN field effect transistor and a passivation layer formed on a top surface of the dielectric layer. The GaN field effect transistor has a gate electrode comprising a Schottky contact metal layer, at least one diffusion barrier metal layer and a high conductivity metal layer. The passivation layer is made of a low cure temperature Polybenzoxazole (PBO) which can be cured at a low-temperature. Thereby the intermixing of the Schottky contact metal layer and the the diffusion barrier metal layer are prevented.

  • Data reconciliation
    Patent number: 10223394
    Abstract: With respect to reconciling data between a source system and one or more destination systems, a source agent obtains data from the source system. A destination agent obtains data from the destination system. The source and destination agents generate digests of the data obtained from the source and destination systems, respectively. The digests are provided to a consistency service for storage. The digests of the data stored at the source system are stored in a first tree data structure, such as a variant of a Merckle tree. The digests of the data stored at the destination system are stored in a second tree data structure, which might also be a variant of a Merckle tree. A comparison of the trees may be made in order to determine the consistency level of the data stored at the source system and the destination systems.
