Abstract: An improved fill of high aspect ratio trenches by copper is obtained by first sputtering a thin nucleating film of copper deposited by physical vapor deposition, then depositing a thin seed layer of copper by chemical vapor deposition, and then completing the fill by electroplating. Stress migration of the fill is improved if the copper deposition is preceded by the deposition by CVD of a layer of titanium nitride either alone or preceded and/or followed by the deposition of tantalum by an ionized PVD source.

Abstract: Systems and methods for secure multimedia authentication with discrete level tamper localization are described. In these aspects, the term "discrete" means that tamper localization is at the pixel level with respect to an image or video data, or at the sample level with respect to audio data. More particularly, and in one aspect, multimedia is evaluated to determine authenticity of the multimedia. This evaluation is based on data block(s). Responsive to determining that the multimedia is not authentic, a tampered portion of the multimedia is localized by addressing each respective pixel or sample of the tampered portion.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for vibrating a telecommunications terminal that receives a call or message in accordance with a sequence of pulses that is based on one or more attributes of the associated incoming call or message. In particular, the illustrative embodiment varies at least one of: the number of pulses in the sequence, the durations of pulses, the intensity of pulses, and the tempo with which the sequence occurs. Attributes of the incoming call or message include who the caller is, a message priority, a message subject, and the location from which the call was placed. The present invention thus enables a telecommunications terminal in vibrate mode to impart information about the nature of an incoming call or message to the terminal's user without the user having to view the terminal's display.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for autonomously identifying and mitigating soft-errors affecting integrated circuit memory storage devices are provided. A soft-error mitigation process is invoked upon finding that an integrated circuit memory device is affected by a parity error. In a staged approach, unused memory regions of the integrated circuit memory device are reinitialized; if a redundant deployment prevails, the subsystem corresponding to the affected integrated circuit memory device is reset; memory regions having copies of contents thereof stored at remote locations are rewritten with obtained copies of the contents; and memory regions storing contents which are generated at run-time are reinitialized. Directed parity error scans are employed at each stage. If the parity error persists, one of the apparatus, and the subsystem corresponding to the affected silicon memory device is reset during a maintenance window. Advantages are derived from a run-time soft-error mitigation process which increases availability, and reduces maintenance overheads and the need for hardware replacement.
