Abstract: A class of lossless data compression algorithms use a memory-based dictionary (312) of finite size to facilitate the compression and decompression of data. To reduce the loss in data compression caused by dictionary resets, a standby dictionary (328) is used to store a subset of encoded data entries previously stored in a current dictionary. In a second aspect of the invention, data is compressed/decompressed according to the address location of data entries contained within a dictionary built in a content addressable memory (CAM) (312). In a third aspect of the invention, the minimum memory/high compression capacity of the standby dictionary scheme is combined with the fast single-cycle per character encoding/decoding capacity of the CAM circuit. In a fourth aspect of the invention, a selective overwrite dictionary swapping technique is used to allow all data entries to be used at all times for encoding character strings (450-472).

IPC: H01L27/04

Abstract: A method for forming an oxygen-impervious barrier on the oxide collar of a trench capacitor in a DRAM cell. The process consists of etching a shallow trench into the oxide collar which surrounds the polysilicon trench fill and isolating it from the single crystal semiconducting substrate material of the DRAM cell to a depth which is at least equal to or larger than the width of the oxide collar. A nitride layer with a thickness equal to or thicker than half of the width of the oxide collar is then deposited on the top surface of the freshly excavated oxide collar such that the aforementioned trench is completely filled with this nitride layer, and the entire surfaces of the substrate and polysilicon trench fill are completely covered. The newly formed nitride layer is then selectively overetched in order to completely remove it from the substrate and polysilicon trench fill surfaces, while still maintaining a sufficient thickness of this layer disposed on the oxide collar sufficient to prevent oxygen diffusion into the oxide collar. Alternatively, the nitride layer may be deposited as a thin layer sandwiched between the original oxide collar and an additional thermally deposited oxide layer.

then sent or downloaded to the purchaser. To activate the software, the purchaser
must enter the key, which is the personal information. A comparison is then made
of the key embedded in the software and the key that was just entered. If the keys
do not match, the software can not be installed and accessed. If the keys do match,

Abstract: The disclosure relates to an apparatus for
retaining a workpiece and a method of fabricating
same. The apparatus contains an electrostatic chuck
(100) having a workpiece support surface (107). The
workpiece support surface has protruded regions and
non-protruded regions, where a total surface area of
the protruded regions is less than a total surface
area of the non-protruded regions. 
     To create a topography for the wafer support
surface (107) an electrode (112) is etched into a
series of one or more rims (106) and (110) rising
above a common level. Rims may be continuous or
broken into radial segments. After the electrode is
etched to a specific topographical pattern and sealed
between the dielectric layers (114) and (116), the
result is a topography across the wafer support
surface (107) that lends additional support to the
clamped wafer (111). Thus, the wafer is supported at
the outer diameter rim contact area (103) and at least
one other point radially inward therefrom (e.g., rims
(106) and (110)). 
     To achieve cooling of the wafer during
processing, a heat transfer gas, preferably Helium, is
pumped into the space (109) between the wafer and the
wafer support surface via heat transfer gas ports
(108). With the addition of the rims (106) and (110),
the interstitial spaces between the wafer and the
wafer support surface (107) are eliminated. Thus, the
surface area of the wafer exposed solely to the Helium
is greatly increased. The topography of the chuck may
also be formed by machining the surface of the
pedestal prior to adhering and conforming the flex
circuit to the surface.
