Abstract: Embodiments herein generally relate to polishing pads and methods of forming polishing pads. A polishing pad includes a plurality of polishing elements and a plurality of grooves disposed between the polishing elements. Each polishing element includes a plurality of individual posts. Each post includes an individual surface that forms a portion of a polishing surface of the polishing pad and one or more sidewalls extending downwardly from the individual surface. The sidewalls of the plurality of individual posts define a plurality of pores disposed between the posts.

Abstract: Memory calibration with a margin check is disclosed. A memory subsystem includes a memory and a memory controller coupled to the memory. The memory controller includes a calibration circuit configured to perform, during an initialization process, horizontal memory calibrations for ones of a plurality of performance states and to determine and store, in a storage circuit, information indicative of a set of differences between calibration results for pairs of the plurality of performance states. The memory controller is further configured to, subsequent to the initialization process and in response to a change from a first one of the plurality of performance states to a second one of the plurality of performance states set initial memory parameters for the second performance state based on the set of differences. Thereafter, operation begins in the second performance state without performing an initial horizontal calibration.
