Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to implement an endpoint command invocation system (“ECIS”). In some embodiments, ECIS can quickly dispatch a command to a large number of endpoint components, where the endpoint components are online. ECIS can receive an invocation of a command, which can include the command recipients.

ECIS can deliver the command to the online command recipients using the connections. ECIS can also deliver the command to dispatch queues corresponding to the offline command recipients, where the dispatch queues store the command as a pending command that can be delivered to their respective command recipients whenever they come online.

Abstract: A process is provided for forming an integrated thin film resistor (TFR) in an integrated circuit (IC) device including IC elements and IC element contacts. A TFR film layer and TFR dielectric layer are formed over the IC structure, and a wet etch is performed to define a dielectric cap with sloped lateral edges over the TFR film layer. Exposed portions of the TFR film layer are etched to define a TFR element. A TFR contact etch forms contact openings over the TFR element, and a metal layer is formed to form metal layer connections to the IC element contacts and the TFR element. The sloped edges of the dielectric cap may improve the removal of metal adjacent the TFR element to prevent electrical shorts in the completed device. A TFR anneal to reduce a TCR of the TFR is performed at any suitable time before forming the metal layer.
