  • Publication number: 20020156791
    Abstract: A method and system for organizing data to facilitate access to information defined by an analytic application. In particular, a taxonomy (hierarchy) for organizing the information and data (e.g., business metrics, transformed data, untransformed data, or raw data) is described. The information and data are stored in a repository and categorized in a hierarchical organization navigable by users. A user can select certain instances of the data in the hierarchy to create a customized list containing data of particular interest. Accordingly, access to particular information in the vast amount of information defined by an analytic application is facilitated, and new information of particular interest can be accessed in a timely manner.

  • Patent number: 6433383
    Abstract: A single interpoly dielectric layer is provided for use in semiconductor devices. The single interpoly dielectric layer being formed of silicon graded such that certain regions within the single interpoly dielectric layer are either oxygen-rich or nitrogen-rich. The single interpoly dielectric layer can be formed in-situ within a single deposition tool. In certain embodiments, the resulting single interpoly dielectric layer can be made thinner and/or can be formed to provide improved dielectric characteristics when compared to a conventional oxide-nitride-oxide (ONO) interpoly dielectric layer that has three separate and unique layers. Thus, the single interpoly dielectric layer is highly desirable for use in reduced-size semiconductor devices and/or semiconductor devices requiring improved data retention capabilities, such as non-volatile memory cells.
