  • Publication number: 20240145533
    Abstract: A high voltage transistor may include a stepped dielectric layer between a field plate structure and a channel region of the high voltage transistor in a substrate. The stepped dielectric layer may increase the breakdown voltage of the high voltage transistor by reducing the electric field strength near the drain region of the high voltage transistor. In particular, a portion of the stepped dielectric layer near the drain region includes a thickness that is greater relative to a thickness of another portion of the stepped dielectric layer near the gate structure. The increased thickness near the drain region provides increased electric field suppression near the drain region (which operates at high voltages). In this way, the stepped dielectric layer enables the high voltage transistor described herein to achieve higher breakdown voltages without increasing the distance between the gate structure and the drain region of a high voltage transistor.

  • Patent number: 11966628
    Abstract: A memory device, includes a memory array for storing a plurality of vector data each of which has an MSB vector and a LSB vector. The memory array includes a plurality of memory units each of which has a first bit and a second bit. The first bit is used to store the MSB vector of each vector data, the second bit is used to store the LSB vector of each vector data. A bit line corresponding to each vector data executes one time of bit-line-setup, and reads the MSB vector and the LSB vector of each vector data according to the bit line. The threshold voltage distribution of each memory unit is divided into N states, where N is a positive integer and N is less than 2 to the power of 2, and the effective bit number stored by each memory unit is less than 2.

  • Publication number: 20240118982
    Abstract: The disclosed techniques reduce a responsiveness time for a secondary node state of a database in switching from a second computing node to replace a first computing node acting in a primary node state, with both computing nodes performing the same database queries. The second node receives information regarding queries performed by the first node while in the primary state. In some embodiments, the second node retrieves, from a transaction log, log records detailing operations performed for database transactions. In some embodiments, the second node inserts, based on the log records, data records of the transactions into an in-memory cache of the second node that stores chains of database records from different transactions. Upon receiving sufficient information to switch to the primary state, the second node changes a mode of operation during failover making a committed transaction available for reads by subsequent database queries prior to record reordering.

  • Patent number: 11953706
    Abstract: Wavelength-selective films are visibly apparent under the selective wavelength. Wavelength-selective films typically reflect off axis the selected wavelength and therefore can provide high-contrast against a background when applied in a pattern on a substrate. However, it is difficult to apply unique patterned embedded images from film. Disclosed is a cost-effective method and construction of a patterned wavelength-selective image to a substrate. In the disclosed wavelength-selective image, wavelength-selective film particles are applied to an adhesive pattern to create the wavelength-selective image.

  • Publication number: 20240087955
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming tungsten features in semiconductor devices is provided. The method includes exposing a top opening of a feature formed in a substrate to a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process to deposit a tungsten liner layer within the feature. The PVD process is performed in a first processing region of a first processing chamber and the tungsten liner layer forms an overhang portion, which partially obstructs the top opening of the feature. The substrate is transferred from the first processing region of the first processing chamber to a second processing region of a second processing chamber without breaking vacuum. The overhang portion is exposed to nitrogen-containing radicals in the second processing region to inhibit subsequent growth of tungsten along the overhang portion. The feature is exposed to a tungsten-containing precursor gas to form a tungsten fill layer over the tungsten liner layer within the feature.
