    Abstract: A route for a data unit through a network may be defined based on a number of next hops. Exemplary embodiments described herein may implement a router forwarding table as a chained list of references to next hops. In one implementation, a device includes a forwarding table that includes: a first table configured to store, for each of a plurality of routes for data units in a network, a chain of links to next hops for the routes; and a second table configured to store the next hops. The device also includes a forwarding engine configured to assemble the next hops for the data units based on using the chain of links in the first table to retrieve the next hops in the second table and to forward the data units in the network based on the assembled next hops.

    Abstract: A router receives a packet at an ingress interface. The router classifies the received packet based on at least a first field value contained in the header of the packet. According to the classification of the received packet, the router associates one of the plurality of forwarding tables to the packet. The router then performs a lookup operation in the associated forwarding table according to at least a second field value contained in the header of the packet. Based on the lookup operation, the router determines an egress interface and transmits the received packet from the determined egress interface.

    Abstract: Systems and methods consistent with the present invention enable routing table updates are performed by optimally utilizing the resources of a node without exceeding the resources of the node. Using feedback on the amount of resources available to the nodes, such as in terms of available memory, the node may make new connections before breaking old one where those updates will not exceed available resources. This is referred to as make-before-break. When not enough resources are available, the node will break old connections before making new ones. This is referred to as break-before-make. Unlike the strict make-before-break and break-before-make models, this “loose” make-before-break method considers the amount of available resources in view of the resources required to perform the routing table updates without a node failure. Routes may also be tagged to prioritize the addition of more important routes and the deletion of less significant routes. Methods and systems consistent with the present invention, therefore, provide a routing table update method with which routing table updates are achieved without crashing and at the same time minimizing black hole intervals.

    Abstract translation: 与本发明一致的系统和方法能够通过在不超过节点资源的情况下优化利用节点的资源来执行路由表更新。 使用关于可用于节点的资源量的反馈,例如在可用内存方面,节点可以在破坏旧的连接之前进行新的连接,其中这些更新将不超过可用资源。 这被称为前休假。 当没有足够的资源可用时,节点将在创建新连接之前破坏旧连接。 这被称为break-before-make。 与严格的make-before-break和break-before-make模型不同,这种“松散”的make-before-break方法考虑到执行路由表更新而没有节点失败所需的资源的可用资源量。 路由也可以被标记为优先考虑添加更重要的路由并删除较不重要的路由。 因此,与本发明一致的方法和系统提供路由表更新方法,通过该路由表更新方法实现路由表更新,而不会崩溃,同时最小化黑洞间隔。

    Abstract: A device includes a primary control unit and a standby control unit. The standby control unit records routing communications exchanged between the primary control unit and an external routing device in accordance with a routing protocol. A standby routing process executing on the standby control unit processes the recorded routing communications when the primary control unit fails. The standby routing process generates state information for executing the routing protocol on the standby control unit without requiring that routing sessions be reestablished with the external routing device.

    Abstract: A method of forming a copper interconnect in an opening within a pattern is described. The copper interconnect has an Rs that is nearly independent of opening width and pattern density. A first copper layer having a concave upper surface and thickness t1 is formed in a via or trench in a dielectric layer by depositing copper and performing a first CMP step. A second copper layer with a thickness t2 where t2≦t1 and having a convex lower surface is deposited on the first copper layer by a selective electroplating method. The first and second copper layers are annealed and then a second CMP step planarizes the second copper layer to become coplanar with the dielectric layer. The invention is also a copper interconnect comprised of the aforementioned copper layers where the first copper layer has a grain density (GD1)≧GD2 for the second copper layer.

    Abstract: A method of forming a copper interconnect in a dual damascene scheme is described. After a diffusion barrier layer and seed layer are sequentially formed on the sidewalls and bottoms of a trench and via in a dielectric layer, a first copper layer is deposited by a first ECP process at a 10 mA/cm2 current density to fill the via and part of the trench. A first anneal step is performed to remove carbon impurities and optionally includes a H2 plasma treatment. A second ECP process with a first deposition step at a 40 mA/cm2 current density and second deposition step at a 60 mA/cm2 current density is used to deposit a second copper layer that overfills the trench. After a second anneal step, a CMP process planarizes the copper layers. Fewer copper defects, reduced S, Cl, and C impurities, and improved Rc performance are achieved by this method.

    Abstract: A novel method for preventing the formation of voids in metal interconnects fabricated on a wafer, particularly during a thermal anneal process, is disclosed. The method includes fabricating metal interconnects between metal lines on a wafer. During a thermal anneal process carried out to reduce electrical resistance of the interconnects, the wafer is positioned in spaced-apart relationship to a wafer heater. This spacing configuration facilitates enhanced stabilility and uniformity in heating of the wafer by reducing the presence of particles on and providing a uniform flow of heated air or gas against and the wafer backside. This eliminates or at least substantially reduces the formation of voids in the interconnects during the anneal process.
