Abstract: Organometallic precursors are described for the formation of high resolution lithography patterning coatings based on metal oxide hydroxide chemistry. The precursor compositions generally comprise ligands readily hydrolysable by water vapor or other OH source composition under modest conditions. The organometallic precursors generally comprise a radiation sensitive organo ligand to tin that can result in a coating that can be effective for high resolution patterning at relatively low radiation doses and is particularly useful for EUV patterning. The precursors compositions are readily processable under commercially suitable conditions. Solution phase processing with in situ hydrolysis or vapor based deposition can be used to form the coatings.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing opportunistic refreshes of memory banks is disclosed. Refresh circuitry in a memory controller performs a refresh on each bank of a multi-bank memory at least once during a given refresh interval. At the beginning of an interval, memory banks for which there are no pending transactions (e.g., reads or writes) may be refreshed. During a first portion of the interval, refresh may be skipped for memory banks for which transactions are pending. In a second portion of the interval, refreshes are performed on memory banks that have not been refreshed during the interval, which may cause some memory transactions to be delayed.
