Title: Method and apparatus for multiple token access to thin client architecture session
Inventor: VARMA SANGEETA
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2002-03-29
Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method and apparatus for multiple token access to thin client architecture session. In one embodiment, a user is associated with a session using an authenticated token. A user may access a session by authenticating the user's identity. An authenticated token for the user is created and the user is granted access to the session. As a result, the user will be able to access the session without the pysical token by authenticating the user's identity using a passphrase or biometric identifier. In one embodiment, a user is able to access a session from one terminal when the session is already being accessed from another terminal. The user presents an authenticated token associated with the session, and the session is disconnected from the old terminal and input and output information is rerouted to the new terminal.

Title: CMOS integrated circuit devices and substrates having buried silicon germanium layers therein and methods of forming same
Inventor: BAE GEUM-JONG
IPC: H01L21/336
Filed: 2001-01-04
Abstract: CMOS integrated circuit devices include an electrically insulating layer and an unstrained silicon active layer on the electrically insulating layer. An insulated gate electrode is also provided on a surface of the unstrained silicon active layer. A Si1-xGex layer is also disposed between the electrically insulating layer and the unstrained silicon active layer. The Si1-xGex layer forms a first junction with the unstrained silicon active layer and has a graded concentration of Ge therein that decreases monotonically in a first direction extending from a peak level towards the surface of the unstrained silicon active layer. The peak Ge concentration level is greater than x=0.15 and the concentration of Ge in the Si1-xGex layer varies from the peak level to a level less than about x=0.1 at the first junction. The concentration of Ge at the first junction may be abrupt. More preferably, the concentration of Ge in the Si1-xGex layer varies from the peak level where 0.2<x<0.4 to a level where x=0 at the first junction. The Si1-xGex layer also has a retrograded arsenic doping profile therein relative to the surface. This retrograded profile may result in the Si1-xGex layer having a greater concentration of first conductivity type dopants therein relative to the concentration of first conductivity type dopants in a channel region within the unstrained silicon active layer. The total amount of dopants in the channel region and underlying Si1-xGex layer can also be carefully controlled to achieve a desired threshold voltage.
