  • Publication number: 20260126911
    Abstract: Example memory devices, memory systems, and methods for identifying zero pages in a memory device are disclosed. In one example, a method of operating a memory device includes performing, based on a first read voltage, a read operation on memory cells coupled to a word line of the memory device; determining a quantity of failed memory cells, the failed memory cells being memory cells having threshold voltages lower than the first read voltage; and in response to determining that the quantity of the failed memory cells is less than a threshold, ending the read operation.

  • Patent number: 11921701
    Abstract: A global transaction system receives a transaction request for a plurality of database services of microservices. The global transaction system receives a plurality of local commit decisions of local commit requests from local transaction managers of the database services of the microservices. The local commit request corresponds to the transaction request for each database. The global transaction system generates a physical commit request to each of the local transaction managers based on the local commit decisions and a global commit decision. Each local transaction manager submits the physical commit request to each database server of the database services corresponding to the transaction request.

  • Patent number: 10276234
    Abstract: An Sb—Te—Ti phase-change thin-film material applicable to a phase-change memory and preparation thereof. The Sb—Te—Ti phase-change memory material is formed by doping an Sb—Te phase-change material with Ti, Ti forms bonds with both Sb and Te, and the Sb—Te—Ti phase-change memory material has a chemical formula SbxTeyTi100?x?y, where 0<x<80 and 0<y<100?x. When the Sb—Te—Ti phase-change memory material is a Ti—Sb2Te3 phase-change memory material, Ti atoms replace Sb atoms, and phase separation does not occur. The crystallization temperature of the Sb—Te—Ti phase-change memory material is significantly risen, retention is improved, and thermal stability is enhanced; meanwhile, the amorphous state resistance decreases, and the crystalline state resistance increases; and the Sb—Te—Ti phase-change memory material has wide application in phase-change memories.

  • Publication number: 20140192592
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an Sb—Te—Ti phase-change thin-film material applicable to a phase-change memory and preparation thereof. The Sb—Te—Ti phase-change memory material of the present invention is formed by doping an Sb—Te phase-change material with Ti, Ti forms bonds with both Sb and Te, and the Sb—Te—Ti phase-change memory material has a chemical formula SbxTeyTi100-x-y, where 0<x<80 and 0<y<100-x. When the Sb—Te—Ti phase-change memory material is a Ti—Sb2Te3 phase-change memory material, Ti atoms replace Sb atoms, and phase separation does not occur. In a crystallization process of an Sb—Te phase-change material in the prior art, gain growth dominates, so the phase change rate is high, but the retention cannot meet industrial requirements.
