20080296766 | REDUCED INDUCTANCE IN BALL GRID ARRAY PACKAGES - Techniques are described for reducing inductance in ball grid array (BGA) packages for integrated circuits (ICs). The BGA package comprises a set of contacts disposed near an outer edge of the BGA package that receives signal lines and isolated power and ground lines. One area of excess parasitic inductance within the BGA package is in the wire bonds that couple the set of contacts to the IC. The techniques described herein shorten the wire bonds in order to reduce the amount of parasitic inductance. The techniques include extending traces from a subset of the contacts inward into the BGA package toward the IC mounted. The wire bonds then couple the traces to the IC, thereby electrically coupling the subset of contacts to the IC. The presence of the traces substantially reduces lengths of the wire bonds relative to wire bonds that directly couple the set of contacts to the IC. | 12-04-2008 |

20110238934 | ASYNCHRONOUSLY SCHEDULING MEMORY ACCESS REQUESTS - A data processing system employs a scheduler to schedule pending memory access requests and a memory controller to service scheduled pending memory access requests. The memory access requests are asynchronously scheduled with respect to the clocking of the memory. The scheduler is operated using a clock signal with a frequency different from the frequency of the clock signal used to operate the memory controller. The clock signal used to clock the scheduler can have a lower frequency than the clock used by a memory controller. As a result, the scheduler is able to consider a greater number of pending memory access requests when selecting the next pending memory access request to be submitted to the memory for servicing and thus the resulting sequence of selected memory access requests is more likely to be optimized for memory access throughput. | 09-29-2011 |
20110238941 | SCHEDULING MEMORY ACCESS REQUESTS USING PREDICTED MEMORY TIMING AND STATE INFORMATION - A data processing system employs an improved arbitration process in selecting pending memory access requests received from the one or more processor cores for servicing by the memory. The arbitration process uses memory timing and state information pertaining both to memory access requests already submitted to the memory for servicing and to the pending memory access requests which have not yet been selected for servicing by the memory. The memory timing and state information may be predicted memory timing and state information; that is, the component of the data processing system that implements the improved scheduling algorithm may not be able to determine the exact point in time at which a memory controller initiates a memory access for a corresponding memory access request and thus the component maintains information that estimates or otherwise predicts the particular state of the memory at any given time. | 09-29-2011 |

In one example, an end of the optical sensor is arranged near a fuel exit of the fuel nozzle assembly. The controller actuates the trim valve for the fuel nozzle assembly to achieve a desired air/fuel ratio and/or balance the fuel delivery of the fuel nozzle assembly relative to another fuel nozzle assembly within the gas turbine engine's combustor system. | 01-15-2009 |

20090115064 | SPACER PROCESS FOR ON PITCH CONTACTS AND RELATED STRUCTURES - Methods are disclosed, such as those involving increasing the density of isolated features in an integrated circuit. Also disclosed are structures associated with the methods. In one or more embodiments, contacts are formed on pitch with other structures, such as conductive interconnects. The interconnects may be formed by pitch multiplication. To form the contacts, in some embodiments, a pattern corresponding to some of the contacts is formed in a selectively definable material such as photoresist. The features in the selectively definable material are trimmed to desired dimensions. Spacer material is blanket deposited over the features in the selectively definable material and the deposited material is then etched to leave spacers on sides of the features. The selectively definable material is removed to leave a mask defined by the spacer material. The pattern defined by the spacer material may be transferred to a substrate, to form on pitch contacts. In some embodiments, the on pitch contacts may be used to electrically contact conductive interconnects in the substrate. | 05-07-2009 |
20090291556 | METHOD OF SELECTIVELY DEPOSITING MATERIALS ON A SUBSTRATE USING A SUPERCRITICAL FLUID - A method for depositing one or more materials on a substrate, such as for example, a semiconductor substrate that includes providing the substrate; applying a polymer film to at least a portion of a surface of the substrate; and exposing the semiconductor substrate to a supercritical fluid containing at least one reactant for a time sufficient for the supercritical fluid to swell the polymer and for the at least one reactant to penetrate the polymer film. The reactant is reacted to cause the deposition of the material on at least a portion of the substrate. The substrate is removed from the supercritical fluid, and the polymer film is removed. The process permits the precise deposition of materials without the need for removal of excess material using chemical, physical, or a combination of chemical and physical removal techniques. | 11-26-2009 |

20100190114 | TOPOGRAPHY BASED PATTERNING - A mask having features formed by self-organizing material, such as diblock copolymers, is formed on a partially fabricated integrated circuit. Initially, a copolymer template, or seed layer, is formed on the surface of the partially fabricated integrated circuit. To form the seed layer, diblock copolymers, composed of two immiscible blocks, are deposited in the space between copolymer alignment guides. The copolymers are made to self-organize, with the guides guiding the self-organization and with each block aggregating with other blocks of the same type, thereby forming the seed layer. Next, additional, supplemental diblock copolymers are deposited over the seed layer. The copolymers in the seed layer guide self-organization of the supplemental copolymers, thereby vertically extending the pattern formed by the copolymers in the seed layer. Block species are subsequently selectively removed to form a pattern of voids defined by the remaining block species, which form a mask that can be used to pattern an underlying substrate. The supplemental copolymers augment the height of the copolymers in the seed layer, thereby facilitating the use of the copolymers for patterning the underlying substrate. | 07-29-2010 |
