Abstract:
A memory system and a method to adjust access performance thereof are disclosed. The method to adjust access performance of the memory system comprises: a step of determining a read parameter value about a storage area performing read operation based on a reliability information by the storage areas of a memory device; a step of performing the read operation by applying the determined read parameter value; and a step of updating the reliability information by the storage areas of the memory device based on the quality of data read by the performance of the read operation.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A data storage device and a data storage system including thereof are provided to reduce the number of merge operation by expanding data block of a flash memory. CONSTITUTION: A flash memory(110) comprises plural data blocks. An FTL(Flash Translation Layer)(120) classifies the data blocks into a first and a second group data blocks(111, 113). According to the decision result of the data signal inputted from outside, the FTL records the data signal in the first group data block or the second group data block expanded from the first group data block. The FTL comprises a data determining unit, a state judgment unit, an expansion selecting unit, and a link control unit.
Abstract:
A method for reproducing media contents by using a non-volatile storage medium and an apparatus thereof are provided to limitedly apply power to devices necessary for reproducing media contents and reproduce the media contents by using a non-volatile cache memory and an on board cache memory inside a hybrid hard disk, thereby realizing quick booting and low power consumption. A power unit(620) supplies power to devices necessary for reproducing media contents. A reading unit(630) reads a boot code stored in a non-volatile storage medium(660) among the devices to which power is supplied. A reproducing unit(650) reproduces the media content stored in the non-volatile storage medium based on the read boot code. A mode selection unit(610) selects a normal mode or a media mode for media contents playback. An interface program executor(640) performs an interface program. The interface program controls data input-output with a media contents player.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for isolating device is provided to minimize a stress due to bird's beak by forming a field oxide using an over-etch in forming sidewalls. CONSTITUTION: After sequentially depositing a pad oxide(22) and a nitride layer(23) on a substrate(21), the nitride layer(23) is patterned by a photo-etching and the exposed pad oxide(22) is then removed. At this time, cavities(24) are resulted from the pad oxide(22) removal step. A thin oxide(25) is formed on the entire exposed area of the substrate(21). Then, a poly-crystalline silicon layer(26) is deposited on the entire surface of the resultant structure. Poly-crystalline silicon sidewalls(27) are formed on both sidewalls of the nitride layer(23) by etching the poly-crystalline silicon layer(26). The cavities(24) are filled with the poly-crystalline silicon layer(26). The poly-crystalline silicon sidewalls(27) have a less thickness than the nitride layer(23) using an over-etch. At this time, a stress due to bird's beak is minimized.
