Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100276785DOPING OF SEMICONDUCTOR LAYER FOR IMPROVED EFFICIENCY OF SEMICONDUCTOR STRUCTURES - A system and method for variable doping within a semiconductor structure for improved efficiency is described. One embodiment includes a semiconductor structure comprising a first semiconductor layer comprising a first semiconductor material, and a second semiconductor layer comprising a second semiconductor material, wherein the second semiconductor material is an oppositely-typed semiconductor material from the first semiconductor material, and wherein the second semiconductor layer comprises a first region adjacent to the first semiconductor layer, wherein the first region comprises low-doped second semiconductor material, and a second region adjacent to the first region, wherein the second region comprises highly-doped second semiconductor material to increase a built-in potential of the semiconductor structure.11-04-2010
20100279493DOPING OF SEMICONDUCTOR LAYER FOR IMPROVED EFFICIENCY OF SEMICONDUCTOR STRUCTURES - A system and method for intentional doping, including variable doping, within a semiconductor structure for improved efficiency is described. One embodiment includes a method for forming a semiconductor structure, the method comprising forming a first semiconductor layer, wherein the first semiconductor layer comprises a first semiconductor material, and forming a second semiconductor layer on the first semiconductor layer, wherein the second semiconductor layer comprises a second semiconductor material, wherein the second semiconductor material is an oppositely-typed semiconductor material from the first semiconductor material, and wherein the second semiconductor layer comprises a first region adjacent to the first semiconductor layer, wherein the first region comprises second semiconductor material, and a second region adjacent to the first region, wherein the second region comprises intentionally doped second semiconductor material to increase a built-in potential of the semiconductor structure.11-04-2010

20100076744SCSI DEVICE EMULATION IN USER SPACE FACILITATING STORAGE VIRTUALIZATION - A method for storage virtualization in user space. The method includes providing a first emulation module running in the OS kernel and providing a second emulation module in the user space of the computer, which may emulate a media changer or other SCSI or other storage device. The method continues with a kernel-resident driver receiving a packet of data at a port of the computer that is linked to a data communications network (such as a SAN). The packet of data may include command data for a particular data storage device (e.g., a SCSI command for a SCSI device). The method includes operating the first emulation module to communicate with the driver and to then pass through the packet of data to the second emulation module, allowing the second emulation module to run in user space but efficiently receive data from the kernel-resident driver via the first emulation module.03-25-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100049822Network, storage appliance, and method for externalizing an external I/O link between a server and a storage controller integrated within the storage appliance chassis - A network storage appliance is disclosed. The storage appliance includes a port combiner that provides data communication between at least first, second, and third I/O ports; a storage controller that controls storage devices and includes the first I/O port; a server having the second I/O port; and an I/O connector for networking the third I/O port to the port combiner. A single chassis encloses the port combiner, storage controller, and server, and the I/O connector is affixed on the storage appliance. The third I/O port is external to the chassis and is not enclosed therein. In various embodiments, the port combiner comprises a FibreChannel hub comprising a series of loop resiliency circuits, or a FibreChannel, Ethernet, or Infiniband switch. In one embodiment, the port combiner, I/O ports, and server are all comprised in a single blade module for plugging into a backplane of the chassis.02-25-2010
20100064169Network storage appliance with integrated server and redundant storage controllers - A network storage appliance is disclosed. The appliance includes a chassis enclosing a backplane, and a server enclosed in the chassis and coupled to the backplane. The appliance also includes storage controllers enclosed in the chassis, each coupled to the backplane, which control transfer of data between the server and storage devices coupled to the storage controllers. The storage controllers also control transfer of data between the storage devices and computers networked to the appliance and external to the appliance. The storage controllers and the server comprise a plurality of hot-replaceable blades. Any one of the plurality of blades may be replaced during operation of the appliance without loss of access to the storage devices by the computers. In one embodiment, the server executes storage application software, such as backup software for backing up data on the storage devices, such as to a tape device networked to the server.03-11-2010
