Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards an integrated circuit (IC) in which cavities separate wires of an interconnect structure. For example, a conductive feature overlies a substrate, and an intermetal dielectric (IMD) layer overlies the conductive feature. A first wire and a second wire neighbor in the IMD layer and respectively have a first sidewall and a second sidewall that face each other while being separated from each other by the IMD layer. Further, the first wire overlies and borders the conductive feature. A first cavity and a second cavity further separate the first and second sidewalls from each other. The first cavity separates the first sidewall from the IMD layer, and the second cavity separates the second sidewall from the IMD layer. The cavities reduce parasitic capacitance between the first and second wires and hence resistance-capacitance (RC) delay that degrades IC performance.

Abstract: The presently-disclosed solution provides cross-ledger transfers between distributed ledgers to achieve highly-scalable transaction throughput. Disclosed are methods and instruction code for writing a cross-ledger transfer in a way that effectively transfers value from a source distributed ledger to a target distributed ledger while preventing double spending of the value. This results in the transformation of the ledgers in that the total value in the source ledger is decreased by the transferred value while the total value in the target ledger is increased by the same amount. Also disclosed are system architectures that utilize cross-ledger transfers between multiple distributed ledgers to achieve highly-scalable transaction throughput. Also disclosed are computer apparatus configured to implement cross-ledger transfers between distributed ledgers. Other embodiments and features are also disclosed.
