Patent number: 11513905Abstract: A data protection application creates backups of assets. Each asset is mapped in a directory service to one or more asset owners. The directory service is separate from the data protection application. A search query from a user seeking to search the backups is received at the data protection application. The directory service is consulted to identify assets having the user as an asset owner. A search filter is generated including a list of the identified assets. The search filter is applied to the search query to exclude from a search result backups of assets not having the user as the asset owner. The search result is returned to the user, the search result thereby including backups of assets having the user as an asset owner and excluding other backups of other assets not having the user as the asset owner.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2020Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: James Morton, Ming Zhang, Lihui Su, Gerald Jourdain

Patent number: 11515408Abstract: Various embodiments of the present application are directed towards a group III-V device including a rough buffer layer. The rough buffer layer overlies a silicon substrate, a buffer structure overlies the rough buffer layer, and a heterojunction structure overlies the buffer structure. The buffer structure causes band bending and formation of a two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG) in the rough buffer layer. The rough buffer layer includes silicon or some other suitable semiconductor material and, in some embodiments, is doped. A top surface of the rough buffer layer and/or a bottom surface of the rough buffer layer is/are rough to promote carrier scattering along the top and bottom surfaces. The carrier scattering reduces carrier mobility and increases resistance at the 2DHG. The increased resistance increases an overall resistance of the silicon substrate, which reduces substrate loses and increases a power added efficiency (PAE).Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2020Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.Inventors: Kuei-Ming Chen, Chi-Ming Chen, Chung-Yi Yu
