    摘要: An interactive game having a pre-determined outcome (e.g., a game of finite poker) that displays an initial hand of cards, receives a player-specified designation as to which cards are to held and which are to be discarded, and then displays an intermediate hand generated in accordance with the player-specified designation. Then a final hand is shown, and in those cases where the player-specified designation (Hold/Discard) is inconsistent with a transition from the intermediate hand to the final hand, an entertaining display is shown, such as a sequence of alternative playing cards. In some cases, the initial hand is a winning hand according to a predetermined payout schedule, and the final hand is a winning hand with a higher payout than the initial hand according to the same payout schedule. The disclosed methods can be used with other games, including reel-type games.

    摘要: An active fuse includes an active fuse geometry (120) that is used to form both a variable resistor (106) and a select transistor (110). In one embodiment, the active fuse geometry is formed in a portion of an active region (160) of a semiconductor substrate (140), and a select gate (124) is disposed over an end portion (123) of the active fuse geometry to form an integral select transistor (110) for use in programming the active fuse. The use of a shared active fuse geometry within the active region allows for reduced area requirements and improved sensing margins.

    摘要: An anti-fuse is manufactured by forming an isolation region including an insulating material layer buried in a surface of a device formation region on a surface of a semiconductor substrate, and by forming diffusion regions at both sides of the isolation region, then by contacting electrodes to the respective diffusion regions. The anti-fuse is initially in a non-conductive state, and is programmed to be in a permanently conductive state by a simple writing circuit.

    摘要: The invention relates to the fabrication of a resistance variable material cell or programmable metallization cell. The processes described herein can form a metal-rich metal chalcogenide, such as, for example, silver-rich silver selenide. Advantageously, the processes can form the metal-rich metal chalcogenide without the use of photodoping techniques and without direct deposition of the metal. For example, the process can remove selenium from silver selenide. One embodiment of the process implants oxygen to silver selenide to form selenium oxide. The selenium oxide is then removed by annealing, which results in silver-rich silver selenide. Advantageously, the processes can dope silver into a variety of materials, including non-transparent materials, with relatively high uniformity and with relatively precise control.
