Abstract: a method and system for detecting and stopping a ransomware attack. prior to any attack hidden security flags are inserted into data that is stored. the data can be unencrypted either because the user does not intend to encrypt the data, the data has yet to be encrypted as part of a normal encryption process or is subject to additional encryption. a request is received to encrypt data using an encryption module. the process determines if the data to be encrypted includes a hidden security flag. if the data includes a hidden security flag a hidden security flag counter is incremented. the encryption is stopped if the value of the hidden security flag counter exceeds a threshold value. a user can be notified of the halting of the encryption process.

Abstract: the density of deuterium or hydrogen within phase change material (pcm) of a pcm memory cell reduces the active defects in the amorphous phase of the pcm by passivating dangling bonds, which results in the pcm becoming easier to nucleate during the set process of the pcm memory cell. resultingly, the addition of deuterium or hydrogen within the pcm relatively increases the set programming voltage window of the pcm memory cell compared with a similar pcm cell without.

Abstract: a three-dimensional semiconductor structure with a bottom electrode in an interlayer dielectric material. the bottom electrode material with a rectangular shape has a first notch is in a top portion of a portion of the bottom electrode material. the first notch occurs in an intersection of the bottom electrode material with a top electrode material. a dielectric material contacts the bottom electrode material and a top surface of the interlayer dielectric material. the dielectric material is between five sides of the bottom electrode material and the top electrode material in the intersection of the bottom electrode material with the top electrode material and has a large contact area with of the bottom electrode material and the top electrode. when the bottom electrode material is a word line and the top electrode material is a bit line, the three-dimensional structure is a reram cross point cell.
