Publication number: 20220246609Abstract: An integrated circuit die includes a FinFET transistor. The FinFET transistor includes an anti-punch through region below a channel region. Undesirable dopants are removed from the anti-punch through region during formation of the source and drain regions. When source and drain recesses are formed, a layer of dielectric material is deposited in the recesses. An annealing process is then performed. Undesirable dopants diffuse from the anti-punch through region into the layer of dielectric material during the annealing process. The layer of dielectric material is then removed.

Publication number: 20220100519Abstract: A processor employs a plurality of fetch and decode pipelines by dividing an instruction stream into instruction blocks with identified boundaries. The processor includes a branch predictor that generates branch predictions. Each branch prediction corresponds to a branch instruction and includes a prediction that the corresponding branch is to be taken or not taken. In addition, each branch prediction identifies both an end of the current branch prediction window and the start of another branch prediction window. Using these known boundaries, the processor provides different sequential fetch streams to different ones of the plurality of fetch and decode states, which concurrently process the instructions of the different fetch streams, thereby improving overall instruction throughput at the processor.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2020Publication date: March 31, 2022Inventors: Robert B. COHEN, Tzu-Wei LIN, Anthony J. BYBELL, Bill Kai Chiu KWAN, Frank C. GALLOWAY

Publication number: 20220075624Abstract: Branch prediction circuitry predicts an outcome of a branch instruction. A pipeline circuitry processes instructions along a first path from a predicted branch of the branch instruction. The instructions along the first path are processed concurrently with processing instructions along a second path from an unpredicted branch of the branch instruction. Information representing the state of the second portion while processing the second path is stored in one or more buffers. The instructions are processed along the second path using the information stored in the buffers in response to a misprediction of the outcome of the branch instruction. In some cases, the branch prediction circuitry determines a confidence level for the predicted outcome and the instructions along the second path from the unpredicted branch are processed in response to the confidence level being below a threshold confidence.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2020Publication date: March 10, 2022Inventors: Ashok T. VENKATACHAR, Robert COHEN, Steven R. HAVLIR, Aparna Chandrashekhar MANDKE, Tzu-Wei LIN, Bhawna NAYAK
