Abstract: A method includes following steps. A first precursor is pulsed over a substrate such that first precursor adsorbs on a first region and a second region of the substrate. A first plurality of the first precursor adsorbing on the first region is then removed using a plasma, while leaving a second plurality of the first precursor adsorbing on the second region. A second precursor is then pulsed to the substrate to form a monolayer of a film on the second region and a material on the first region. The material is then removed using a plasma. The substrate is biased during removing the material.

Abstract: An information handling system uses one connector for both liquid and air cooling and detects the type of cooling system installed. That provides the ability to choose the correct thermal handling table based on the installed cooling system. To detect the type of cooling system installed, a thermal management controller sets a control signal supplied to the cooling system through the connector to a first control value and determines if a tachometer signal supplied by the cooling system to the thermal management controller through the connector indicates a first type of cooling system. If the first type of cooling system is not detected, the thermal management controller checks if the tachometer signal from the cooling system with the control signal set at the first control value, or alternatively at a second control value, indicates a second type of cooling system. If no cooling system is detected, an error condition exists.
