  • Publication number: 20230229613
    Abstract: An input switching circuit dynamically connects, based on an input mapping table, input streams to inputs of a wavefront pre-transform circuit. An output switching circuit dynamically connects, based on an output mapping table, output data at outputs of the wavefront pre-transform circuit to transport streams. A controller controls, based on a wiping command, at least one of the input and output switching circuits to alter at least one of the input and output mapping tables such that the at least one of the input and output switching circuits is disabled for connection. A first subset of the transport streams operates in a foreground mode available to a user and is transported for storage in remote storage sites at a network and a second subset of the transport streams operates in a background mode available to an administrator and is not transported for storage in the remote storage sites.

  • Patent number: 11699621
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to a method for patterning a doping layer, such as a lanthanum containing layer, used to dope a high-k dielectric layer in a gate stack of a FinFET device for threshold voltage tuning. A blocking layer may be formed between the doping layer and a hard mask layer used to pattern the doping layer. In an embodiment, the blocking layer may include or be aluminum oxide (AlOx). The blocking layer can prevent elements from the hard mask layer from diffusing into the doping layer, and thus, can improve reliability of the devices formed. The blocking layer can also improve a patterning process by reducing patterning induced defects.
