Title: Management of volatile and non-volatile memory resources in digital communications terminals
Inventor: BOOTH ROBERT CHARLES
IPC: G06F9/50
Filed: 2000-10-21
Granted: 2002-11-11
Abstract: Memory resources, such as volatile memory (232) and non-volatile memory (234), are managed in a consumer terminal (150), such as a set-top box. The terminal is authorized to use one or more of a number of available applications, such as e-mail, video on demand, stock ticker, or a web browser. The memory resources are managed by determining whether space is available to store a new application. Data can be deleted, or transferred between the non-volatile memory (234) and the volatile memory (232), to make space available for a new application. A user interface (200) may allow the user to assist in this process by identifying currently-stored applications that are less desired than the new application.

Title: Method for improving metal interconnect electromigration (EM) resistance
Inventor: CHEN SHENG-SHIUNG
IPC: H01L21/768
Filed: 2001-04-11
Granted: 2003-02-21
Abstract: With the ever increasing integration of semiconductor elements, the line width of a line obtained by a metal interconnect structure method is becoming narrower. As a result, the metal atom movements caused by electromigration (EM) will cause the metal line to break at a turning point. According to the invented method, the design of an empty interlayer connect is equivalent to the function of a water storage pond which not only increases the roughness of the metal connect, but also promotes the formation of a slight EM effect on the empty interlayer connect to prevent the formation of line break caused by the accumulation of thermal connect at the turning point.

Abstract: This invention provides a semiconductor device and the manufacturing method capable of properly maintaining p-type impurity concentration distribution in the base layer of an NPN bipolar transistor, wherein a Si1-xGex layer 111b functioning as the base composed of an i-Si1-xGex layer and a p+ Si1-xGex layer is formed on a collector layer 102, and a Si cap layer 111a as the emitter formed on the p+ Si1-xGex layer. An emitter lead electrode 129, which is composed of an n- polysilicon layer 129b containing phosphorus in a concentration equal to or lower than the solid-solubility limit for single-crystal silicon and an n+ polysilicon layer 129a containing phosphorus in a high concentration, is formed on the Si cap layer 111a in a base opening 118. The impurity concentration distribution in the base layer is properly maintained by suppressing the Si cap layer 111a from being doped with phosphorus (P) in an excessively high concentration. The p-type impurity concentration distribution in the base layer of an NPN bipolar transistor is thus properly maintained. The upper portion of the Si cap layer 111a may contain a p-type impurity.
