  • Patent number: 12158965
    Abstract: Provided is a design method for sharing a profile in a container environment, including: extracting a sensitive context defined as information related to system-based access control or a sandboxing policy and an insensitive context defined as information unrelated to security for a profile provided by a developer; extracting the sensitive context and the insensitive context for the profile provided by a host; fetching a max configuration for the sensitive and insensitive contexts from each image layer of the developer; and generating a final profile that is applied to deploy the container by merging the host profile with the max configuration fetched from the developer profile. Accordingly, it is possible to provide an optimal environment to developers and hosts by generating the final profile with a hierarchical model using the host profile and the developer profile.

  • Patent number: 9443974
    Abstract: Methods of fabricating a super junction trench power MOSFET (metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor) device are described. A column of p-type dopant in the super junction is separated from a first column of n-type dopant by a first column of oxide and from a second column of n-type dopant by a second column of oxide. In an n-channel device, a gate element for the FET is advantageously situated over the column of p-type dopant; and in a p-channel device, a gate element for the FET is advantageously situated over the column of n-type dopant.

  • Patent number: 9437424
    Abstract: High mobility P-channel power metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a power MOSFET is fabricated such that the holes flow in an inversion/accumulation channel, which is along the (110) crystalline plane, or equivalents, and the current flow is in the [110] direction, or equivalents, when a negative potential is applied to the gate with respect to the source. The enhanced channel mobility of holes leads to a reduction of the channel portion of the on-state resistance, thereby advantageously reducing total “on”resistance of the device.
