Abstract: Approaches for integrating FE memory arrays into a processor, and the resulting structures are described. Simultaneous integrations of regions with ferroelectric (FE) cells and regions with standard interconnects are also described. FE cells include FE capacitors that include a FE stack of layers, which is encapsulated with a protection material. The protection material protects the FE stack of layers as structures for regular logic are fabricated in the same die.

Abstract: A class of complex logic gates are presented that use non-linear polar material. The logic gates include multi-input majority gates. At least one input to an individual multi-input majority gate is a fixed input. Other inputs are driven to non-linear input capacitors on their respective first terminals. The second terminals of the non-linear input capacitors are coupled a summing node, which provides a majority function of the inputs. The summing node is coupled to a CMOS logic. Leakage through the capacitors is configured such that capacitors of a majority gate have substantially equal leakage, and this leakage has a I-V behavior which is symmetric. As such, reset device(s) on the summing node are not used. The non-linear charge response from the non-linear input capacitors results in output voltages close to or at rail-to-rail voltage levels, which reduces the high leakage problem faced from majority gates that use linear input capacitors.

Abstract: Aspects relate to measurement and event reporting from a distributed unit (DU) of a disaggregated base station to a central unit (CU) of the disaggregated base station. The CU can configure the DU with a measurement configuration associated with at least one value to be obtained by the DU and a reporting configuration for reporting the at least one value to the CU. The measurement reports can be sent by DU periodically or the measurement reports can be event-triggered based on the reporting configuration. In addition, the measurement reports can be UE-specific or DU/cell-specific. The measurement reports may include random access channel (RACH) reports, uplink measurement reports, radio link protocol (RLC) reports, medium access control (MAC) protocol reports, and other types of measurement or event-based reports.

Abstract: A configuration for efficiently placing a group of capacitors with one terminal connected to a common node is described. The capacitors are stacked and folded along the common node. In a stack and fold configuration, devices are stacked vertically (directly or with a horizontal offset) with one terminal of the devices being shared to a common node, and further the capacitors are placed along both sides of the common node. The common node is a point of fold. In one example, the devices are capacitors. N number of capacitors can be divided in L number of stack layers such that there are N/L capacitors in each stacked layer. The N/L capacitors are shorted together with an electrode (e.g., bottom electrode). The electrode can be metal, a conducting oxide, or a combination of a conducting oxide and a barrier material. The capacitors can be planar, non-planar or replaced by memory elements.

Abstract: The memory bit-cell formed using the ferroelectric capacitor results in a taller and narrower bit-cell compared to traditional memory bit-cells. As such, more bit-cells can be packed in a die resulting in a higher density memory that can operate at lower voltages than traditional memories while providing the much sought after non-volatility behavior. The pillar capacitor includes a plug that assists in fabricating a narrow pillar.

Abstract: A computer-aided design (CAD) tool is provided for logic optimization and synthesis. The CAD tool executes a process that involves optimizing power, performance, and area (PPA) of a logic circuit by minimizing a number of CMOS gates, and majority and/or minority gates in the circuit and its depth. The CAD tool implements a methodology of optimizing logic synthesis based on a mix of standard cell libraries (such as AND, OR, NAND, NOR, XOR, Multiplexer, full adder, half adder, etc.) and varying input majority and minority gates (where the number of inputs in the minority and majority gates could vary as odd numbers from 3 and above). The standard cell libraries cells may contain minority and/or majority gates.

Abstract: A new class of logic gates are presented that use non-linear polar material. The logic gates include multi-input majority gates. Input signals in the form of digital signals are driven to non-linear input capacitors on their respective first terminals. The second terminals of the non-linear input capacitors are coupled a summing node which provides a majority function of the inputs. The majority node is then coupled driver circuitry which can be any suitable logic gate such as a buffer, inverter, NAND gate, NOR gate, etc. In the multi-input majority or minority gates, the non-linear charge response from the non-linear input capacitors results in output voltages close to or at rail-to-rail voltage levels. Bringing the majority output close to rail-to-rail voltage eliminates the high leakage problem faced from majority gates formed using linear input capacitors.

Abstract: An authorization control network includes at least one computer server. The server(s) receives a cardholder credential and a profile modification request from a communications device, and determines an account attribute by querying a profile database with an account identifier. The server(s) rejects the modification request if the server determines from the account attribute that a limit profile associated with the account identifier is linked to a cardholder credential other than the received cardholder credential. The server(s) then receives from a POS device an authorization request that includes the account identifier and an authorization value.

Abstract: A memory is provided which comprises a capacitor including non-linear polar material. The capacitor may have a first terminal coupled to a node (e.g., a storage node) and a second terminal coupled to a plate-line. The capacitors can be a planar capacitor or non-planar capacitor (also known as pillar capacitor). The memory includes a transistor coupled to the node and a bit-line, wherein the transistor is controllable by a word-line, wherein the plate-line is parallel to the bit-line. The memory includes a refresh circuitry to refresh charge on the capacitor periodically or at a predetermined time. The refresh circuit can utilize one or more of the endurance mechanisms. When the plate-line is parallel to the bit-line, a specific read and write scheme may be used to reduce the disturb voltage for unselected bit-cells. A different scheme is used when the plate-line is parallel to the word-line.

The apparatus may modify a topography of the IAB network or routing within the IAB network when the report indicates the failure associated with the communication link. The apparatus may verify a QoS associated with the IAB network when the report indicates the QoS associated with the communication link. Numerous other aspects are described.
