    Abstract: A storage device includes a memory device storing data, and a controller controlling the memory device. The controller obtains and stores a certificate including a public key of an administrator from a host device, provides a nonce to the host device in response to a request from the host device, receives a token request signature including the nonce, a user identifier (ID), an allowed command list and a lifetime from the host device, and when it is verified that the token request signature is generated by a legitimate administrator by decrypting the token request signature with the public key, generates a token for allowing a user corresponding to the user ID to execute a command included in the allowed command list during the lifetime, and a token secret key corresponding to the token, and provides the token and the token secret key to the host device.

    Abstract: A fractional divider processing circuitry is to receive one of a plurality of clock signals as an input clock signal, and generate a first division clock signal based on the input clock signal and a first control signal. Phases of the plurality of clock signals partially overlap each other. The processing circuitry generates a delta-sigma modulation signal based on the first division clock signal and a frequency control word, and generates a second division clock signal based on the plurality of clock signals, the first division clock signal and a second control signal. The second control signal corresponds to a quantization noise of the delta-sigma modulation signal. The processing circuitry generates the second control signal and a digital control word based on the quantization noise of the delta-sigma modulator. The processing circuitry generates a final division clock signal based on the second division clock signal and the digital control word.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming an active fin protruding from a substrate and extending in a first direction; forming sacrificial gate patterns intersecting the active fin and extend in a second direction; forming recess regions by etching the active fin on at least one side of each of the sacrificial gate patterns; forming source/drain regions on the recess regions; removing the sacrificial gate patterns to form openings; and forming a gate dielectric layer and a gate electrode such that gate structures are formed to cover the active fin in the openings. The source/drain regions are formed by an epitaxial growth process and an in-situ doping process of doping first conductivity-type impurity elements. In at least one of the source/drain regions, after the in-situ doping process is performed, counter-doping is performed using second conductivity-type impurity elements different from the first conductivity-type impurity elements to decrease carrier concentration.
