Summary of the patent applications from International Business Machines Corporation on October 5th, 2023

Recently, International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) has filed several patents related to various technologies. These patents cover areas such as device structures, memory modules, thermoelectric generators, memory apparatus, semiconductor structures, data collection and prediction methods, workload balancing in wireless communication networks, and sound analysis processors. Here is a summary of the recent patents filed by IBM:

- Patent 1: A device structure and method for creating a device with an inner electrode, an outer electrode, and a layer of phase change material. The method involves forming the electrodes on a substrate and adding the phase change material layer above them.

- Patent 2: A device structure and method for creating a device that includes a bottom electrode, a layer of phase change material, and an ovonic threshold switching layer. The layers are vertically aligned, and a barrier layer separates the ovonic threshold switching layer from a top electrode.

- Patent 3: A memory structure that uses a ReRAM module embedded in a substrate. The structure includes insulative and plasma-interacting components, and the voltage created between the two electrodes forms a conductive filament in the ReRAM module.

- Patent 4: A type of MRAM cell that consists of different layers with angled sidewalls. The upper section includes a tunnel barrier, a free layer, and a top electrode, while the lower section includes a bottom electrode, a synthetic anti-ferromagnet layer, and a reference layer.

- Patent 5: A system for electronic heatsink safety that includes a thermoelectric generator integrated into a heatsink. The generator produces a current based on the temperature difference between its parts and activates an LED.

- Patent 6: A high-density memory apparatus that consists of multiple transistors stacked vertically on top of each other. Each transistor has its own separate horizontal nanosheet and gate stack, and the nanosheets are connected to two-terminal memory units.

- Patent 7: A semiconductor structure that includes a wafer, multiple transistors, and an MRAM cell. The MRAM cell is connected to the transistors through a contact on the backside of the wafer.

- Patent 8: A method for collecting data from edge devices, predicting the travel path of a specific entity, selecting an edge device based on proximity to the predicted path, and transmitting captured data to an electronic user device.

- Patent 9: A method for balancing the workload of processors in an eNodeB by transferring communication traffic to an underutilized core and putting it into sleep mode until needed again.

- Patent 10: A processor that can analyze sound data, identify sound sources, generate simulations of the sound field, and modify the sound field within a specific environment based on user preferences.

Notable applications:

Creating devices with phase change material layers and electrodes.
Embedding ReRAM modules in substrates for memory structures.
Integrating thermoelectric generators into heatsinks for electronic heatsink safety.
Stacking multiple transistors vertically for high-density memory apparatus.
Connecting MRAM cells to transistors through contacts on the backside of wafers.
Collecting data from edge devices, predicting travel paths, and transmitting captured data.
