  • Patent number: 9607878
    Abstract: One or more methods of forming shallow trench isolation (STI) and resulting semiconductor arraignments are provided. A method of forming STI includes forming a nitride liner in a first opening and second opening and recessing the nitride liner in the first opening and second opening while forming an oxide structure in the first opening and second opening, thus forming a first STI region in the first opening and a second STI region in the second opening. A semiconductor arraignment includes a first STI region in an active area and a second STI region in an isolation area, where a first recessed nitride layer height in the first STI region is different than a second recessed nitride layer height in the second STI region.

  • Patent number: 9280421
    Abstract: Providing for single and multi-bit error correction of electronic memory is described herein. As an example, error correction can be accomplished by establishing a suspect region between bit level distributions of a set of analyzed memory cells. The suspect region can define potential error bits for the distributions. If a bit error is detected for the distributions, error correction can first be applied to the potential error bits in the suspect region. By identifying suspected error bits and limiting initial error correction to such identified bits, complexities involved in applying error correction to all bits of the distributions can be mitigated or avoided, improving efficiency of bit error corrections for electronic memory.

  • Patent number: 8301963
    Abstract: An accumulative repeat encoder facilitates encoding data written to memory, such that parity data is generated in accordance with a low-density parity-check (LDPC) code. The original data and associated parity data is stored in memory. During a read operation, a decoder component utilizes the parity data based on the LDPC code to facilitate decoding the data being read from memory. The decoder component is iterative and provides one or more decoding results based on probabilities that symbols or bits comprising the data have correct values. The decoder component analyzes a decoding result and references a parity-check matrix structured in accordance with the LDPC code to determine the accuracy of the decoding result. If the decoding result attains a desired accuracy, the decoding result is determined to represent the original data and is provided as an output.

  • Patent number: 8261006
    Abstract: Systems and methods for improving the performance and reliability of flash memory solid state drive devices are described herein. A flash memory array component stores data. A memory hierarchy component transfers data between the host and the flash memory array component. The memory hierarchy component includes a level one (“L1”) cache coupled to a merge buffer, the flash memory array component, and the host. The merge buffer is coupled to the flash memory array component. The L1 cache and merge buffer include volatile memory, and the host is coupled to the merge buffer and flash memory array component. The memory hierarchy component includes a write component and a read component. The write component writes data to at least one of the L1 cache, merge buffer, or flash memory array component. The read component reads data from at least one of the L1 cache, merge buffer, or flash memory array component.

  • Patent number: 8255777
    Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying error bits in encoded data are disclosed. As a part of identifying error bits, encoded data that is provided from a data source and that includes data and parity check portions is accessed. Based on the encoded data, syndromes are calculated, and based on the calculated syndromes, an equation is determined. The roots of the equation are determined and based on the determined roots of the equation, one or more error bits are identified. The error bits are identified using a circuit that presents a binary representation of the roots. The error bits are corrected based on the error bits that are identified.
