Apple is currently locked in a legal battle with Samsung over claims that Samsung's smartphones and tablets infringe on Apple's patents. My Forbes colleague E.D. Kain suggests that Apple might hold the high ground:
Many have dismissed the recent spate of patent suits as so much grasping at straws – Apple's underhanded attempt to stymie competition in the mobile and tablet markets and protect its iPad and iPhone dominance. But what if Jobs is right, and Google really did steal from iOS? What if Samsung, a company which makes many of the components that go into iPad's and iPhones, did secretly borrow from Apple's designs in order to get a taste of their success?
One of the big impediments to thinking clearly about the patent system is the tendency to talk in terms of vague abstractions. Did Google "steal from iOS?" It depends what you mean by "steal."
If we define "steal" narrowly, the answer is almost certainly "no." There haven't been any allegations, for example, that Google obtained a pirated copy of iOS source code and incorporated it into Android. This would have been a reckless and stupid—not to mention unethical—move on Google's part. Similarly, I don't think there's been any allegations that Samsung's hardware was built by slavishly copying the implementation details of Apple hardware.
On the other hand, if we define the term broadly, Google and Samsung clearly did "steal" Apple's technology. A number of key concepts, such as pinch-to-zoom, were first introduced on the iPhone and later incorporated into Android. The iPhone was an innovative product, and obviously Apple's competitors are going to want to match it feature for feature.
The important question isn't whether such "stealing" occurred, it's whether we want to live in a world where it's illegal. Do you want to live in a world where only Apple is allowed to make phones with pinch-to-zoom capability (and dozens of other features) until 2027? I sure don't.
This isn't the first time Apple has tried this particular tactic. The lawsuit against Samsung is a replay of its "look and feel" lawsuit against Microsoft two decades ago. Apple was the first company to bring the graphical user interface to a large audience with the Lisa in 1983 and then the Mac in 1984. Microsoft famously released a competing GUI-based operating system, Windows, in 1985. Apple sued, alleging that Windows had "stolen" the "look and feel" of the Mac OS, and had thereby infringed Apple's copyrights.
At the time, the concept of copyright protection for software was still quite new, so it wasn't obvious how broad it was. The courts eventually decided that it didn't extend to "look and feel," allowing Microsoft to continue selling Windows and dominate the PC business.
You can imagine an alternate universe in which Apple won its lawsuit, either because judges interpreted copyright law differently, or because software patents had been more widely available (they didn't become common until the late 1990s). Would anyone seriously contend that we'd be better off today if Apple (or Xerox, which pioneered some of the key concepts) had held a monopoly on basic UI concepts like menus, buttons, and scroll bars for all of the 1980s and 1990s?
It's clearly a good thing that Apple lost its look-and-feel lawsuit, allowing the emergence of competing graphical user interfaces like Windows, NeXT, and the X window system that powers modern Linux distributions. Likewise, it would be a disaster for innovation if Apple won its lawsuits against Android and attained a 20-year monopoly on multi-touch smart phones.
The question isn't whether Google copied some features of Android from iOS (copying, incidentally, that goes both ways). It's whether we want a patent system that gives the first company to stumble on a basic user interface concept like the graphical user interface or multi-touch tablet computing to have a 20-year monopoly on those concepts.

Apple looking to improve screen visibility when outdoors and wearing sunglasses
Apple has applied for another patent this week which is entitled "Display that emits circularly-polarized light". What this means to us is that we may see improved viewing experiences on our iPhones and iPads if this technology makes it to future devices.
If you have tried viewing your iPhone outside in sunlight, it is a good experience however the iPad is not good at all. Put a pair of sunglasses on and the whole experience becomes nearly unusable. With this patent application, Apple is proposing a liquid-crystal display that reduces perceived distortion when viewed through linear polarizing filters; or in other words, sunglasses!
The layer receives the linearly-polarized light on one surface, converts the linearly-polarized light to circularly-polarized light, and then emits the circularly-polarized light from another surface," the application reads. "By emitting circularly-polarized light, the display reduces the perceived distortion found at some angles when the display is viewed through a linearly-polarizing filter. The invention would allow for superior outdoor viewing of displays, like iPhone or iPad screens, by reducing perceived distortion created when a user wears sunglasses.
There is no doubt that this is a well needed addition to any device with a screen that needs to be read outdoors. If the iPad is to be taken seriously as an eReader as well as all of its other features, it has to improve its outdoor viewing experience. Patents like this show Apple are working to do just that!

Apple looking to improve screen visibility when outdoors and wearing sunglasses
YOU can see your phone in the sun?? All I see is a black screen. And, I wish the bloggers on here would stop using Apple's catch words. You used the word "experience" FOUR times in this post. My "experience" is that this thing is useless outside. I always have to find some shade to read a txt / email.
Agree - this is critical for them to change in order to make it the optimal experience.
Wouldn't it depend upon the sunglasses being worn to effect the experience?
This is a defensive patent and it's nearly useless, since it assumes that the user is wearing polarized sunglasses, which the vast majority of users don't. Besides, angle of polarization varies from sunglass to sunglass, so you would have to tilt your head to find the right angle to read.
I normally have no problem reading my iPhone 4's screen out in direct sunlight; even when I wear polarized shades, and with my brightness turned down a bit (to save battery life). Sometimes I have to wait a few seconds for my auto-brightness to kick in just when I really start to need it, but it's not that big a deal. Of course, I'd welcome any improvements Apple will make to the screens on all their iDevices.
I'm in central park right now with my sunglasses on and an iPhone4.. I have no idea what I just finish reading or what I'm typing.
I don't take my iPad out of its hermetically sealed Carbonite lock box just for pool reading. I use analog devices for that. Or I just go swimming.

Osburn: Congress finally passes a budgetWritten by Ben Osburn | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Just in time for the holidays, for the first time in more than four years, Congress and the President have finally agreed on a federal budget. In a time when partisan brinksmanship is running rampant, even within the parties themselves, the newly passed budget will ensure that a government shutdown will not happen for at least another two years.
The budget won a solid majority in the Senate, with 64 Senators approving, including nine republicans. The bill was met with even great enthusiasm in the House, with solid majorities of both parties supporting it, 332-94. The deal sets spending levels through 2015, and restores many of the non-mandatory spending cuts that came as a result of the Budget Control Act of 2011.
The crafters of the bill were former Vice Presidential nominee and House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, and Senate Budget Committee Chairwoman Patty Murray. Both Murray and Ryan concede that neither the Democrats nor Republicans fully got what they wanted in the deal, but ended up finding common ground in separate budgets that both the House and Senate passed separately. Congressman Ryan went into the deal not wanting to raise taxes, and wanting to reduce the deficit. He got his wish. Restoration of non-mandatory programs like a $2 billion increase in defense spending will be paid for by a balance of increased airline fees and the elimination of entitlement fraud. The bill would also be paid for by decreases in federal employee wages and benefits, particularly for new employers. Ryan however did agree to compromise by including funding for the Affordable Care Act in the budget, as well as not pushing for entitlement reform.
On the flip side, Senator Murray did not get the extension of unemployment benefits that she and her fellow Democrats wanted that expire this month for 1.3 million Americans. She and her party did however get restoration of social welfare programs like Head Start and Meals on Wheels: programs that are designed to help the poor. The bill also does not include any new stimulus spending, a rallying cry for the left as a means to stimulate the economy by funding improvements to public roads and bridges.
The bill was met with skepticism from the far-right, as many in the tea party caucus decried it as not tackling the debt enough. Many in the caucus believe that the sequester cuts were a necessary way to keep spending under control. The issue has brought tension in the Republican Party that will be evident in the upcoming 2014 Senate primaries, as far-right challengers are gearing up face longtime Washington players like Senate Minority leader Mitch Mcconnell and Lindsey Graham. The tension was also felt in the House as speaker John Boehner recently spoke out against the caucus and groups that didn't support the bill by saying they've "lost all credibility."
Political squabbling aside, it is hard to determine whether or not this new budget deal will bring about more compromise in Washington, especially with the primary season right around the corner. There are many in Washington that believe that immigration reform and the minimum wage are the next two issues that will be brought up. If there is one thing for certain however, it's that this deal will bring a sense of stability to the American public and to the economy that the country is in dire need of.

Mostly Cloudy
Wind: 7 mph
By Lisa Loomis
Bob McNamara, Washington West Supervisory Union superintendent, is stepping down at the end of this school year.
McNamara, a veteran administrator, has been with the school district for four years. He said after 38 years in this business, it was time.
"I've been working at this for 38 years. It's a good time for me to have more flexibility in my schedule. If I were going to stay on as a superintendent, I'd love to stay here. I've really enjoyed the work I've done," he said.
He has no immediate plans for what he will do next.
"I've got no list. I'll just let things emerge. I think it will be something different. The night meetings with this job really lock you in, in terms of time," he continued.
McNamara is a 30-year resident of Waterbury whose children went through the Washington West Supervisory Union school district. He worked nine years at Waterbury Elementary School, from 1976 through 1985, as coordinator of support services. He also worked for 15 years for the Vermont Department of Education in a variety of administrative roles and then as superintendent of the Lamoille North Supervisory Union immediately prior to working for Washington West.
"I've had nothing but positive experiences here and it's great to finish out my formal career in this district where, really early on, I started out," he said.
"Public schooling is a challenge right now and it's hard work to balance all the different needs of a community. The people in this area are working hard to support their public schools," he added.
McNamara and his wife Marianne have two grown children and a granddaughter. His wife teaches English as a second language. He is originally from Waltham, Massachusetts.
The process for replacing McNamara has begun with the executive committee of the Washington West Supervisory Union School Board working with the Vermont School Boards Association to facilitate a search. Together the executive committee and school boards association will bring finalists to the full Washington West board to be interviews.

For a while I was considering converting it to a near IR camera, but I was reluctant to make another one after having already made one for 62 Projects to Make with a Dead Computer (p. 200). However, I changed my mind about this when I learned that it was possible to use the material inside floppy disks as a visible light filter (for viewing near IR light). This sounded really cool and so I decided to give this a try. Not only does this totally work, it also adds another level of computer reuse to the version demonstrated in the book (as it provides a way to reuse floppy disks in addition to cameras).
It has been fun going around shooting pictures and discovering all of the interesting results when I upload the photos at home.
Step 1: Go get stuff
A (somewhat) broken (or antiquated) camera
A floppy disk
A mini screwdriver set
Step 2: Make a visible light filter
Rip apart the floppy disk and be careful not to get your fingerprints on the plastic disk.
Take the disk and cut a small plastic square that is slightly larger than your CCD.
Tip: To make sure your floppy disk lets IR light through, go to a window and look outside with the plastic held up to your eye. You should be able to see through it.
"Another interesting fact about infrared light is that it can travel through thick smoke, dust or fog, and even some materials."
Thats about it, so it's not possible to use it like an X-ray camera :) That would involve radiation ofcourse :)
Some airports are using IR boosted imaging scanners to show a thermal differentiation between the body and the clothing worn To filter out more of the visible light, you can stack the filters so that your visual representation of the I.R. spectrum is more pure.
There's no better way to describe it? The better way to describe it is to be specific as to non-ionizing radiation...
You are saying the word radiation cannot be used with non-iionizing types of radiation because the layman term radiation now only means ionizing radiation.
Where as the scientific meaning has been unaltered.
I better go and turn my non-ionizing radiators down as it's hot in here....
Okay, I know I'm necroposting. However, for anyone who reads this, PLEASE, do not be like this "Vengence" guy. In this case, he was just being obtuse, rude, and pedantic over an issue that is ultimately inconsequential, and in doing so derailed a perfectly coherent conversation. DON'T DO THAT: everyone hates it, and it blocks out constructive discussion.
Not only that, but the other people he was trying to argue with in this case were RIGHT. You CAN use the word radiation to indicate any type of EM emissions, including radio, microwaves, terahertz, infrared, visible light, X-rays, gamma rays, and probably many other forms that I have neglected to mention or have not been discovered yet.
I encourage you, in fact, to use the word to the fullest extent of its' technical definition and scope, and not just to spite this guy.
They are used quite widely throughout the packaging industry as well due to the high transparency, at THz freqs, of most packaging materials and the very low energy of the beams.
I modded my xbox live vision webcam i got from the thrift store originally for my raspberry pi... the normal picture was taken with my integrated webcam, the gray one was taken with my modded webcam... where did the design go?!?!? (you don't have to tell me, I know).
i think that the best is not to get scared of the technology :)
So on an older fixed focus point and shoot digital the photos will be blurry at first. You need to find someway to adjust the focus on them because it will need to be changed ever so slightly.
It's easy to do this on many cheap point and shoots.
I wasn't sure about this until today, when I bought a Kodak Easyshare cx6200 for 50C. I saw it on the shelf and knew what I had to do with it.
Mind you I've already found it's limitations (it's very bad at infinity/anything past a certain distance) and the 2mp is just a bit lower then I'm used to dealing with.
Either way I've taken a few photos. I didn't like the brownish tint so I tried to edit them, not knowing how they should really look.
I'll just assume it's so blurry because of the camera itself.
The images normally have a reddish color to them, but in the camera settings I set the camera to capture in mono chrome. To give the effect of using a SLR camera with black and white IR film.
I sandwiched the disk material between 2 squares of plastic that I cut from a jewelcase, and then made it so the only light that could get into the camera was through the disk material. I then glued my IR pass filter directly to the outside lens of the camera. Looks alittle crude, but it seems to work on the things I tested so far. It was pretty late and cloudy on top of that.
However, on lamps with incandescent light bulbs, with the camera, it appears very bright, however, putting the same disk material over a non hacked camera that still has its IR filter, you cant see anything.
Fluorescent lights though, its very dark, can barely make out the tubes on the view finder. Shows how much energy light bulbs waste, giving off most of their energy in IR. The light from Laser mice is very visible.
I then passed 5,000 volts through 2 flash tubes, which is visible with my regular camera, but is much, much brighter on my IR hacked camera.
I also tested a stove, turned the burner on high, on IR, it appears bright white, and glows before I can see the red glow or before my non hacked camera can see it.
I then did a shot with the flash on aiming at a mirror, as well as a picture of me with flash in the dark.
Hopefully the weather is clear so I can test the camera out in the sun tomorrow.
and to hivoltage: well, now i know someone here lives in my area... i recognised that sundial-looking building instantly. i had a friend who was a chem professor at cal poly. as a sidenote, keep ahold of that picture. i read somewhere that they're tearing that complex down. (the "sundial" and the building next to it)
Great hack. Now i just wish i had saved some floppy disks. Oh well, off i go to see if Fry's still stock these things.

U.S. Color-coded Population Density Mashup - This mashup uses 2000 census data and color codes the zip codes by their population density. Mashup creator Ken Fehling writes: "If you add enough cities to the map, it looks a bit like 2000 or 2004 presidential election results. It definitely shows there's a correlation between the red state/blue state thing (or in this case red zipcode/blue zipcode) and population density. I'm not sure exactly why denser cities produce more democrat voters, but I think the maps look cool."
U.S. Presidential History Mashup - Web 2.0 guru Virender Ajmani is at it again! This time he has added this mashup intended for school kids to know facts about US Presidents and First Ladies like where they were born. Virender has been busy using various APIs (eBay, Yahoo! Google) to create mashups for the Indian community as well as other mashups related to eBay Motors, Flight Searching and Real Estate. Take a look at them, they are all found from this above link.

iPhone 5 vs. Luxury Watch - Can Apple be used in the same breath as names like Panerai, Omega, Rolex and Bell & Ross?
Some analysts and media commenters have said Apple's new iPhone 5's manufacturing and design has reached the level of a Rolex. That might sound silly. Even if you think the iPhone 5 has reached luxury item status, does it really make any sense to compare it to high end watches? Is it a fair comparison? A sane one? Let's find out! With my iPhone 5's unboxed, iMore's Rene Ritchie asked me to whip up another video for a slightly unorthodox head to head comparison.
I may be the BlackBerry fan on the Mobile Nations team, but I've purchased every iPhone that Apple has released to date. Know thy competition, right? The iPhone 5 was no exception - I headed out to the mall and picked up a pair this morning.
It seems since the iPhone 5 was unveiled, a lot of people have been comparing its design and build quality to jewellery rather than electronic gadgets. With extremely tight manufacturing tolerances, an understated and luxurious look and finely polished finishing details, I can see why the comparison would be made at first glance.
But what about at second glance? And third glance? Can you really compare compare the iPhone 5 to something like a Swiss-made mechanical watch? There's only one way to find out, and that's put them head to head! I'm no Ariel Adams or John Biggs, but I do love watches. Heck, I even bought the domain watchreviews.com a couple years back (hmm.. watches are mobile... maybe that could be a new Mobile Nations site for 2013?!). So hit the video above for a not-so-serious head to head comparison. If I wanted to be real serious we'd have to rip the watches and iPhone apart, but that's not happening today.
The verdict? The watches win for battery life and water resistance over the iPhone 5. The iPhone 5 wins for ease of texting and app catalog. Display quality was a tough call. Both the watches and iPhone 5 make use of super tough and scratch resistant sapphire crystal. While the watches use it on the face, the iPhone 5 uses it on the camera lense. The watches are always on, which makes them very user friendly for getting the time at glance, but it's hard to argue with a retina display. For night time viewing we'll have to give the edge to the iPhone 5 - the luminescence on mechanical watches can really vary.
In all seriousness though, the iPhone 5 really is a well made piece of kit. The tools that built it will no doubt be similar to some of the equipment being used by the big watch houses these days to turn out precision timepieces. But that said, I wouldn't go around comparing the iPhone 5 to a Swiss watch just yet. A statement like that will surely tick off the watch snobs out there, who can bite back even harder than Apple fans. :)

iPhone 5 vs. Luxury Watch - Can Apple be used in the same breath as names like Panerai, Omega, Rolex and Bell & Ross?
This post is kind of odd.
If there was an alternative to the iPhone for 1% of the price that could do everything as quick and complete, I would probably choose that alternative.
A Timex can do everything that a Panerai, Omega, Rolex and Bell & Ross can do, plus much more. It doesn't have the snob value, though. You can't impress your buddies at the country club with a Timex.
To that extent I love my iPhone, it has the best functionality of all phones, and selling your used one for $150 every other year and pick up a new one for $200 is not a bad deal.
The equivalent for an automatic movement watch in the mobile phone world is a Vertu phone, bloody expensive, heavy, and with the minimum in functionality. But maximum show-off value to people wearing mink coats.
Snob value? I will take that as a complement for my Submariner. And I really don't think your Timex does everything it does. When the day comes I am no longer on this earth, my son will be wearing it. Lets see that bad boy of a Timex do that.
"I may be the BlackBerry fan on the Mobile Nations team, but I've purchased every iPhone that Apple has released to date." - denial is the first stage of dealing with your loss. We're here for you, Kevin. *hugs*
I'm sorry luxury watches and iphones are simply two different things. and like the guy above me said, iphones are not exclusive. $15000 watches are.
But who are these people comparing it to jewelry? I think maybe the authors peer group may have brought up this idea and now he thinks everyone thinks that but sorry, nobody i know. but granted, nobody i know has even mentioned the iphone to me today. But people i know are regular people.
Interesting review. But the idea of a luxury timepiece goes far beyond it's technological prowess. There is history and purpose behind each one. That is why I wear a Rolex instead of a Nano Watch
I didn't know there were any fellow Paneristi on this site! Sweet!
I use the Panerai iOS app on my iPhone. It displays the standard Panerai watchface in full screen mode and makes a nice glow in the dark bed-side clock. (Double tap the center of the clockface and the menu at the bottom of the screen disappears!)
Omega has a nearly as nice iOS app with a night-time Planet Ocean animation (downside is that the app shows the whole watch, so the watchface is smaller than that of the Panerai, upside is that the animation is beautiful. If you tap it once on the watch face, it will flip-over showing an animated winder weight and main spring.)
I'm surprised nobody mentioned these!
p.s. Given that this comparison was in the name of serious business, did you write the watch off your taxes?
Bell & Ross? Luxary watch??? Muahahaha.....
I can't wait for the next Pulitzer running article/post: Comparing the iPhone 5 to your spouse.
Compare to a fine watch? The day the iPhone self-winds (charges) and is water proof to 1000' like my Rolex Submariner, we can talk. The phone is nice, but I don't think it takes a week to machine the case. I can't think of another PHONE that compares tho. My white 64 is a piece of art.
Why is everyone trying to compare the new iPhone 5 to luxury watches? Apple did NOT redesign the phone, they modified the design from the iPhone 4/4S. Don't get me wrong the iPhone 5 is a nice looking phone but there is nothing new about the design minus being slightly taller and a smidge thinner. Other than that is looks just like an iPhone 4.
A 50 year old Rolex, Omega or Tag Heuer is still a beautiful watch... the iPhone design won't last another 3 years before it is obsolete.

An attorney for the defunct streaming-TV service calls the results disappointing. The company had expected to bring in anywhere from $4 million to $31.2 million.
Sprint will work with the investor behind RadioShack to re-create the stores under the two brands.
After months of "not dead yet" declarations, the streaming-TV startup files for Chapter 11 reorganization, the clearest sign that a Supreme Court ruling set it on a road to nowhere.
Apple, which partnered with GT Advanced on sapphire goods, says it will continue to work with state and local officials as it considers its next steps.
GT's filing, which sends company's stock tumbling about 90 percent, surprises the market and suggests a breakdown in its relationship with Apple.
Despite reluctance from three major carriers, creditors have agreed to extend Pantech's deadline for debt repayment by two years, keeping the South Korean company alive for the time being.
The third largest phone maker in Korea continues to post losses while still owing debt to various entities, including Korea's three carriers.
A joint venture between Dixons Carphone and Sprint will expand the carrier's retail operation in the US.
The defeated Bitcoin exchange, which claims to have lost nearly $400 million to hackers, is ordered to hand over any remaining bitcoins to US and Canadian customers.
Commentary: Apple's new app coming for iOS 8 and the Mac looks promising, with cloud backup for all your pictures. It may be the answer so many have waited for.

An integrated DRAM-NVRAM, multi-level memory cell is comprised of a vertical DRAM device with a shared vertical gate floating plate device. The floating plate device provides enhanced charge storage for the DRAM part of the cell through the shared floating body in a pillar between the two functions. The memory cell is formed in a substrate with trenches that form pillars. A vertical wordline/gate on one side of a pillar is used to control the DRAM part of the cell. A vertical trapping layer on the other side of the pillar stores one or more charges as part of the floating plate device and to enhance the DRAM function through the floating body between the DRAM and floating plate device. A vertical NVRAM wordline/control gate is formed alongside the trapping layer and is shared with an adjacent floating plate device.

This Application is a Divisional of 10/928,250, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,158,410, titled "INTEGRATED DRAM-NVRAM MULTI-LEVEL MEMORY," filed Aug. 27, 2004, which is commonly assigned and incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates generally to memory devices and in particular the present invention relates to DRAM and NVRAM architectures.
Memory devices are typically provided as internal, semiconductor, integrated circuits in computers or other electronic devices. There are many different types of memory including random-access memory (RAM), read only memory (ROM), flash memory, dynamic random access memory (DRAM), and synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM).
Conventional DRAM cells are comprised of a switching transistor and an integrated storage capacitor tied to the storage node of the transistor. Charge storage is enhanced by providing appropriate storage capacity in the form of a stacked capacitor or a trench capacitor in parallel with the depletion capacitance of the floating storage node. DRAM cells are volatile and therefore lose data when the power is removed.
DRAMs use one or more arrays of memory cells arranged in rows and columns. Each of the rows of memory cells is activated by a corresponding row line that is selected from a row address. A pair of complementary digit lines are provided for each column of the array and a sense amplifier coupled to the digit lines for each column is enabled responsive to a respective column address. The sense amplifier senses a small voltage differential between the digit lines and amplifies such voltage differential.
Due to finite charge leakage across the depletion layer, the capacitor has to be recharged frequently to ensure data integrity. This is referred to in the art as refreshing and can be accomplished by periodically coupling the memory cells in the row to one of the digit lines after enabling the sense amplifiers. The sense amplifiers then restore the voltage level on the memory cell capacitor to a voltage level corresponding to the stored data bit. The permissible time between refresh cycles without losing data depends on various factors such as rate of charge dissipation in the memory capacitor.
As computers become smaller and their performance increases, the computer components should also go through a corresponding size reduction and performance increase. To accomplish this, the capacitors and transistors of DRAM cells can be reduced in size. This has the effect of increased speed and memory density with decreased power requirements.
However, a problem with decreased capacitor size is that sensing a conventional DRAM cell requires a minimum value of capacitance per cell. As the capacitor gets smaller, the capacitance is reduced. This has become a scalability challenge for DRAM.
For the reasons stated above, and for other reasons stated below which will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading and understanding the present specification, there is a need in the art for a more scalable DRAM cell.
The above-mentioned problems with DRAMs and other problems are addressed by the present invention and will be understood by reading and studying the following specification.
The present invention encompasses an integrated DRAM-NVRAM memory cell. The cell comprises a dynamic random access memory function and a non-volatile random access memory function that is coupled to the dynamic random access memory function. The data storage by the dynamic random access memory function is enhanced by the non-volatile random access memory device that provides a non-volatile state retention in the DRAM. The non-volatile random access memory can store multiple bits of data.
Further embodiments of the invention include methods and apparatus of varying scope.
In the following detailed description of the invention, reference is made to the accompanying drawings that form a part hereof and in which is shown, by way of illustration, specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. In the drawings, like numerals describe substantially similar components throughout the several views. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention. Other embodiments may be utilized and structural, logical, and electrical changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined only by the appended claims and equivalents thereof. The terms wafer or substrate used in the following description include any base semiconductor structure. Both are to be understood as including silicon-on-sapphire (SOS) technology, silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology, thin film transistor (TFT) technology, doped and undoped semiconductors, epitaxial layers of a silicon supported by a base semiconductor structure, as well as other semiconductor structures well known to one skilled in the art. Furthermore, when reference is made to a wafer or substrate in the following description, previous process steps may have been utilized to form regions/junctions in the base semiconductor structure, and terms wafer or substrate include the underlying layers containing such regions/junctions.
For purposes of clarity,
Each DRAM-NVRAM cell 170 and 171 is comprised of a DRAM transistor and a NVRAM transistor. Each DRAM transistor is comprised of a drain region 104 and 105 and a source region 101 and 103. These regions 101, 103-105, in one embodiment, are doped n+ regions in the trenches and pillars of the substrate 100.
Vertical gates 130 and 131 are formed along the sidewalls of the trenches such that they are substantially between each transistor's active regions 101 and 104 or 103 and 105 with respective floating bodies 180 and 181. The vertical gates 130 and 131 are separated from the pillars by a dielectric material. The gates 130 and 131 are coupled to wordlines of the memory array.
Each NVRAM transistor is comprised of a drain region 104 and 105 that is formed in the tops of the pillars and shared with its respective DRAM transistor. A source region 102 is formed at the bottom of the trench and is shared between the two NVRAM transistors.
A vertical channel region exists between each pair of source/drain regions 101, 104 or 103, 105 for the gated transistors or 102, 104 or 102, 105 for the NV transistors gated by the shared control gate 120. For example, during operation, a channel forms in the floating body channel region between one drain 104, 101 or 105, 103.
Each NVRAM transistor is comprised of a floating plate 115 and 116 in which one or more charges are trapped and stored. The floating plates 115 and 116 are isolated from the channel regions by tunneling dielectrics 110 and 111 and from the shared control gate 120 by a charge blocking layer (i.e., intergate dielectric) 117 and 118 that prevents a trapped charge from leaking to the control gate. Each tunneling dielectric/floating plate/charge blocking layer makes up an insulator stack for each NVRAM transistor and, in one embodiment, is approximately 15 nm thick. The materials of construction are not critical to the present invention, but commonly include doped polysilicon for the gate/plate materials, and silicon oxides, nitrides or oxynitrides for the dielectric materials.
A data/bitline 160 couples each of the drain regions 104 and 105 in the tops of the pillars. Additionally, the source regions 101-103 are coupled to a source line of the memory array. As is shown later with reference to
During operation of the transistors of the present invention, depletion regions 140-142 form around each of the source regions 101-103 respectively. The touching of the depletion regions 140 and 141 or 141 and 142 isolates the active p-type pillar body above the depletion regions, thus creating a p-type floating body in each pillar.
Each cell 170 and 171 is comprised of an NVRAM transistor 202 and 201 that shares a common control gate/wordline 120 that couples a row of cells in the memory array. Each cell 170 and 171 also has a field effect transistor (FET) 205 and 206. The gate 130 and 131 of each FET 205 and 206 is coupled to a respective DRAM wordline 232 and 233. The DRAM wordlines 232 and 233 couple the FETs in a common row of cells of the array. The memory array bitline 170 couples the drains of each transistor in a common column of cells.
As in the embodiment of
Each NVRAM transistor uses the same drain 304 and 305 and source regions 302 and 303 as their respective DRAM transistors. Each insulator stack is comprised of a tunnel dielectric 310 and 311, floating plate 315 and 316, and charge blocking oxide 317 and 318. The common control gate 320 is formed in the center of the trench and is coupled to the array NVRAM wordline.
The above structure is formed on the insulator layer 301 that is formed over the substrate 300. In one embodiment, the insulator layer 301 is an oxide and the substrate and the floating body are a p-type silicon.
In operation, the DRAM-NVRAM cell of the present invention provides multi-functionality as well as multi-level NVRAM storage. When the NVRAM control gate is grounded, the cell works like a DRAM. Even though the DRAM transistor of the present invention is a capacitor-less DRAM cell, it operates in the same manner as a DRAM cell except with an improved retention state compared to typical prior art DRAM cells.
When the DRAM device is in a high conductance state (i.e., a logic 0 is written), some of the excess hole charge in the floating body tunnels through the trapping layer and gets trapped. Consequently the device conductance is further increased, thus creating a "fat 0" where the DRAM device has an increased hole charge in comparison to typical prior art DRAM cells.
Conversely, when electrons are generated in the floating body to create the lower conductance state (i.e., a logic 1 is written), some of the excess electrons get trapped into the trapping layer with the resulting effect of still lower conductance. Hence, a "fat 1" is created. A transistor that stores a "fat 1" has an elevated threshold voltage and, therefore, less leakage current than a typical prior art device. Thus the effect of the trapping layer of the DRAM transistor of the present invention is to improve the logic separation and associated signal margin of the DRAM state and/or state retention.
For NVRAM operation, the NVRAM control gate is pulsed to a negative potential concurrent to pulling up both the bitline and the NVRAM wordline to Vdd. This drives the access device to saturation. A strong lateral field generated between the floating body and the control gate drives excess holes, generated in the body, to tunnel through the tunnel oxide and to be trapped. Due to this hole trapping, the adjacent body potential is raised to a positive potential where it is held permanently until the trapped state is discharged by trapping electrons. This is a non-volatile "zero" state. It can be sensed readily (i.e., a read 0) by turning the access device wordline up and sensing the current through the bitline.
To write a non-volatile "one" state, the control gate is pulsed positive concurrent to forward bias either the drain-body diode or the source-body diode. This injects excess electrons into the floating body. The trapping layer traps the excess electrons that cause a permanent negative potential. As a result, the access device Vt is raised and the device does not conduct during a logical one read operation. The device remains in the non-volatile logical 1 state until the trapping layer electrons are neutralized by injecting holes during an erase operation.
For multi-level NVRAM operation, the above-described logical 0 and 1 states can be addressed or read either by the wordline of the access device (corresponding to a Vt-WL of a logic "0" and a Vt-WL of a logic "1" respectively) or by the control gate device (corresponding to a Vt-CG of a logic "0" and a Vt-CG of a logic "1" respectively). For the same degree of charge storage in the trapping layer, the control gate Vt's would be significantly different than those of the access device Vt's and, therefore, bi-level addressing could be achieved and the device achieves virtual dual-bit storage for the same written state.
Additional multi-level non-volatile storage could be achieved by directly storing increasing density of charges (i.e., electrons or holes) into the trapping layer by appropriate programming of the control gate conventionally with increasing programming voltages (positive or negative). This generates multiple high Vt states (i.e., multiple Vt-CG logical ones). Addressing is performed using both the DRAM wordline and NVRAM control gate and establishing appropriate sensing schemes to separate all levels of storage states.
The DRAM-NVRAM cell of the present invention can also be converted into a PROM for use in a field programmable gate array (FPGA), an alterable switch, or a BIOS-storing application. The cell can be converted into a PROM by appropriate electron charge density or hole charge density stored into the trapping layer by programming via the NVRAM control gate.
The floating plate NVRAM transistor of the present invention requires a significantly lower field across the dielectric stack for programming via the control gate. This results in an increased endurance capability (e.g., >10�1010 cycles) and scalability both in geometry and voltages. With appropriate selection and scaling of the gate insulator stack (i.e., tunnel insulator, trapping layer, charge blocking layer), the average programming field can be reduced to between 3�106 and 6�106 V/cm compared to a typical average field of 12�106 V/cm for a floating gate device.
The following table illustrates one embodiment of operational voltages for a gate insulator stack comprising a 4.5 nm tunnel insulator, a 6 nm Silicon-Silicon rich-Nitride trapping dielectric, and a 6.5 nm SiO2 charge blocking layer that requires a programming voltage below 9 V. This table is for purposes of illustration only as different embodiments of the present invention can use different operational voltages to enable the read or write operational modes.
In this table, VBL is the bitline voltage, VWL is the DRAM wordline voltage, VSL is the DRAM source line or region voltage, VCG is the NVRAM control gate/wordline voltage, and Vsub is the negative substrate bias. The "Ax" and "Bx" of the above table describes the two states of a single bit (i.e., bit A or bit B). In the case of the NVRAM reading of "A1" and "B1", the bitline potentials are unchanged.
The above-described logic separation between "Ax" and "Bx" could be used for multi-level storage. The programming voltage, Vx-CG, could be altered to Vy-CG to create a different logic level separation "Ax" and "Bx" for multi-level storage. Substantially similar approaches can be used for PROM writing of "1" and "0".
The memory device includes an array of memory cells 430 that can be comprised of the multi-level DRAM-NVRAM cells previously illustrated. The memory array 430 is arranged in banks of rows and columns. The gates of each row of memory cells is coupled with a wordline while the drain and source connections of the memory cells are coupled to bitlines.
An address buffer circuit 440 is provided to latch address signals provided on address input connections A0-Ax 442. Address signals are received and decoded by a row decoder 444 and a column decoder 446 to access the memory array 430. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, with the benefit of the present description, that the number of address input connections depends on the density and architecture of the memory array 430. That is, the number of addresses increases with both increased memory cell counts and increased bank and block counts.
The memory device 400 reads data in the memory array 430 by sensing voltage or current changes in the memory array columns using sense/buffer circuitry 450. The sense/buffer circuitry, in one embodiment, is coupled to read and latch a row of data from the memory array 430. Data input and output buffer circuitry 460 is included for bi-directional data communication over a plurality of data connections 462 with the controller 410. Write circuitry 455 is provided to write data to the memory array.
Control circuitry 470 decodes signals provided on control connections 472 from the processor 410. These signals are used to control the operations on the memory array 430, including data read, data write (program), and erase operations. The control circuitry 470 may be a state machine, a sequencer, or some other type of controller.
The memory device illustrated in
In summary, the embodiments of the integrated DRAM-NVRAM memory of the present invention provide the functions of DRAM storage that does not require stack or trench capacitors for data storage as well as non-volatile memory storage in a memory cell. The NVRAM transistor is capable of multi-level storage in order to increase memory density without additional transistors.
The DRAM-NVRAM cell functionally integrates DRAM and non-volatile memory while overcoming the limitations of both. For example, the DRAM function can use the trapping layer of the NVRAM transistor to enhance charge storage so that a refresh cycle is not required. Similarly, the NVRAM function uses a floating plate for charge storage that is more scalable than a typical floating gate device.
Although specific embodiments have been illustrated and described herein, it will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that any arrangement that is calculated to achieve the same purpose may be substituted for the specific embodiments shown. Many adaptations of the invention will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art. Accordingly, this application is intended to cover any adaptations or variations of the invention. It is manifestly intended that this invention be limited only by the following claims and equivalents thereof.

Looks good, but that's about it. Highly disspointed with this item. The hinges broke 5 minutes after it was put together. It looks good and pretty color, etc., but it is cheap quality product which is HIGHLY unusual for Cost Plus World Market as their items are usually very good. It's an online ONLY sale, so you have no recourse as you can't return it (not even to a store). Buyer beware, this was a BAD PURCHASE. August 9, 2011

Firefighter Beau Archambeau, 26, of West Ashley, has been with Summerville for just over a year.
He grew up on Pawleys Island and graduated in 2009 from the College of Charleston with a BS in Business Administration. He worked for a while as a manager at Zaxbys but, he says, he always knew that firefighting was what he wanted to do.
"My dad was a firefighter – a battalion chief for Midway then a paramedic in Georgetown. He loved it so much he went back to school to become a doctor."
"I was going to go into the military after high school," says Archambeau, "but my dad wanted me to at least try college. 'Try it out and just to see' my dad told me so I did and ended up spending four years there."
In 2010 he began volunteering at Pine Ridge Fire Department and is still active with them.
Currently third driver/assistant engineer is the next step, he says, but admits that he has a "lofty goal" of eventually working his way up to chief of a department.
His next step is a master's program through Oklahoma State University, which enables him to take the majority of his courses online via distance learning, leaving only nine hours that must be taken on campus. He wants to get his master's in fire service administration.
But his wife, Kristen, is in pharmacy school and at the moment, he says, they can't afford two tuitions. His turn will be next.
He is so new to the department he hasn't had a lot of experiences however, he says, he has certainly had a bad one. "My first fatality had a real impact on me…we couldn't help the person, they were dead on arrival."
At home he and his wife have a cat – LeeLoo.
Archambeau enjoys surfing and golf and spending time with friends. "My wife is my best friend."
He likes target shooting and fishing and enjoys movies and music.
A musician himself, he plays the guitar and the trumpet. "I used to perform but haven't in years," he says. He played with the wind ensemble at COC.
He likes cooking and says he likes to think he's pretty good at it.
Currently he is at Station One but in a month, he says, he will be going to the new fire station in Kightville.
He met his wife in high school in 2003 and they have been together ever since. They married in 2010.
He came to the area for school and ended up staying and really likes it here. When his wife finishes school he is really hoping she will find a job locally so they can stay.
His goals are simple – kids some day and successful careers for both his wife and himself.
