    Abstract: A method for forming an interconnect wiring structure, such as a fuse structure, comprises forming an opening in an insulating layer using a phase shift mask (the opening having vertical sidewalls sloped sidewalls and horizontal surfaces), depositing a conductive material in the opening and removing the conductive material from the sloped sidewalls and horizontal surfaces, wherein the conductive material remains on the vertical sidewalls as fuse links.

    Abstract: Accordingly, the present invention provides a double gated transistor and a method for forming the same that results in improved device performance and density. The preferred embodiment of the present invention uses provides a double gated transistor with asymmetric gate doping, where one of the double gates is doped degenerately n-type and the other degenerately p-type. By doping on of the gates n-type, and the other p-type, the threshold voltage of the resulting device is improved. In particular, by asymmetrically doping the two gates, the resulting transistor can, with adequate doping of the body, have a threshold voltage in a range that enables low-voltage CMOS operation. For example, a transistor can be created that has a threshold voltage between 0V and 0.5V for nFETs and between 0 and -0.5V for pFETs.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for improving the yield, performance and timing of an integrated circuit. SOLUTION: An iterative timing analysis is performed analytically before a chip is fabricated, based on a technique that uses optical proximity correction techniques for shortening the gate lengths and adjusting metal line widths and proximity distances of critical time-sensitive devices. An additional mask is used as a selective trim, to form shortened gate lengths or wider metal lines for selected predetermined transistors, affecting threshold voltages and RC time constants of the selected devices. Marker shapes identify a predetermined subgroup of circuitry that constitutes the devices in the critical timing path. This analysis methodology is repeated as often as needed, to improve the timing of the circuit with shortened designed gate lengths and modified RC timing constants, until manufacturing limits are reached. A mask is made for the selected critical devices by using OPC techniques. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

    Abstract: Automated control of a cooling system cooling at least one electronic component is provided. The control includes monitoring over a period of time variation of an operational variable of the cooling system or of the at least one electronic component, and based, at least in part, on variation of the operational variable over the period of time, automatically determining whether to adjust control of the cooling system to limit variation of the operational variable. In one implementation, depending on the variation of the operational variable, and whether control of the cooling system has been previously adjusted, the method may further include automatically determining a probability of fail or an expected residual life of the cooling system, and responsive to the predicted probability of fail exceeding a first acceptable threshold or the expected residual life being below a second acceptable threshold, automatically scheduling for a cooling system repair or replacement.
