  • METHOD OF FABRICATING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE
    Publication number: 20250072295
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes the following steps. A plurality of doped regions are formed in a substrate. A first dielectric layer is formed on the substrate. A plurality of first contacts and second contacts are formed in the first dielectric layer to be connected to the plurality of doped regions. A memory element is formed on the first dielectric layer. The memory element is electrically connected to the second contact. A second dielectric layer is formed on the first dielectric layer. The second dielectric layer surrounds the memory element. A conductive line is formed in the second dielectric layer. A top surface of the conductive line is at a same level as a top surface of the memory element, and the conductive line is electrically connected to the plurality of first contacts.

  • Method and apparatus for managing power consumption relating to a differential serial communication link
    Patent number: 8090969
    Abstract: A circuit includes a primary transceiver, a secondary transceiver, and control logic. The primary transceiver communicates information via a primary communication link. The secondary transceiver communicates information via a secondary communication link. The control logic is operatively coupled to the primary and secondary transceivers. The control logic selectively powers down the primary transceiver based on primary communication link traffic trigger information and causes communication using the secondary transceiver instead of the primary transceiver based on the primary communication link traffic trigger information.
