Patent number: 11579573Abstract: A hierarchical resource management system for a building includes one or more processors. The processors implement a plurality of agents that each monitor sensed values, and generate operating scenarios based on the sensed values for corresponding resources. The processors also implement a coordinator that filters the operating scenarios to remove the operating scenarios that violate internal laws of the agents to form an aggregate validated set of operating scenarios. The processors further implement a supervisor that, responsive to receipt of target conditions for the zones and the aggregate validated set of operating scenarios from the coordinator, selects a combination of the operating scenarios from the aggregate validated set of operating scenarios that achieves target conditions and minimizes overall energy consumption by the resources such that some of the operating scenarios of the combination do not minimize energy consumption of the resources corresponding to the some of the operating scenarios.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2021Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: SMITHGROUP, INC.Inventors: Ionel Petrus, YoonSun Rosemary Hwang, Kevin James Ricart, Kevin Patrick Andreone, Kristin Lea Maruszewski, Jacob William Pohlman

Patent number: 11508500Abstract: A method is provided for forming a thin film resistor (TFR) in an integrated circuit (IC) device. A TFR film is formed and annealed over an IC structure including IC elements and IC element contacts. At least one TFR cap layer is formed, and a TFR etch defines a TFR element from the TFR film. A TFR contact etch forms TFR contact openings over the TFR element, and a metal layer is formed over the IC structure and extending into the TFR contact openings to form metal contacts to the IC element contacts and the TFR element. The TFR cap layer(s), e.g., SiN cap and/or oxide cap formed over the TFR film, may (a) provide an etch stop during the TFR contact etch and/or (b) provide a hardmask during the TFR etch, which may eliminate the use of a photomask and thereby eliminate post-etch removal of photomask polymer.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2020Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: Microchip Technology IncorporatedInventors: Paul Fest, Jacob Williams, Josh Kaufman

Patent number: 11495657Abstract: A process is provided for forming a thin film resistor (TFR) in an integrated circuit (IC) device. A TFR film is formed and annealed over an IC structure including IC elements and IC element contacts. An oxide cap is formed over the TFR film, which acts as a hardmask during a TFR etch of the TFR film to define a TFR element, which may eliminate the use of a photomask and thereby eliminate post-etch removal of photomask polymer. TFR edge spacers may be formed over lateral edges of the TFR element to insulate such TFR element edges. TFR contact openings are etched in the oxide cap over the TFR element, and a metal layer is formed over the IC structure and extending into the TFR contact openings to form metal contacts to the IC element contacts and the TFR element.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2020Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: Microchip Technology IncorporatedInventors: Paul Fest, Jacob Williams, Josh Kaufman, Greg Dix
