  • Publication number: 20240098969
    Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus are provided for an array of vertically stacked memory cells having horizontally oriented access devices and storage nodes formed in tiers. And, more particularly, to multiple, alternating silicon germanium (SiGe) and single crystalline silicon (Si) in different thicknesses to form tiers in which to form the horizontal access devices in vertical three-dimensional (3D) memory. The horizontally oriented access devices can have a first source/drain regions and a second source drain regions separated by single crystalline silicon (Si) channel regions. The single crystalline silicon (Si) channel regions can include a dielectric material to provide support structure to the single crystalline channel regions when forming the horizontal access devices in vertical three-dimensional (3D) memory. Horizontally oriented access lines can connect to gate structures opposing the channel regions. Vertical digit lines coupled to the first source/drain regions.

  • Publication number: 20240098970
    Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus are provided for an array of vertically stacked memory cells having horizontally oriented access devices and storage nodes. The horizontally oriented access devices having a first source/drain regions and a second source drain regions separated by silicon (Si) channel regions. A digit line having a global digit line (GDL) contact is formed in a trench adjacent to the first source/drain regions. In one example, the digit line is electrically isolated from a neighboring digit line at the bottom of the trench. In another example, the digit line is formed continuously along a bottom surface of trench to form shared digit lines between horizontal access devices, in two separate arrays, on opposing second vertical surfaces. The memory cells have horizontally oriented storage nodes coupled to the second source/drain regions and vertical digit lines coupled to the first source/drain regions.

  • Patent number: 11043039
    Abstract: A method of aligning reference frames for an augmented reality display is provided. The method comprises receiving three or more target images positioned at predefined physical reference points in a specified physical space, wherein the physical reference points are part of a reference frame of the physical space. Distances between the physical reference points of the target images are calculated and compared with distances between virtual reference points comprising a reference frame of a three-dimensional virtual model to create a number of distance comparisons. The physical reference points are correlated with virtual reference points according to the distance comparisons. The reference frame of the physical space is then aligned with the reference frame of the three-dimensional virtual model according to the correlation of the physical reference points and virtual reference points.

  • Patent number: 9508146
    Abstract: One or more systems, methods, routines and/or techniques for automated frame of reference calibration for augmented reality are described. One or more systems, methods, routines and/or techniques may allow for calibration of an Augmented Reality (AR) system, for example, by automatically calibrating the frames of reference of virtual objects and/or a camera. One example calibration routine and/or technique may determine and/or calculate a mapping or transform from a frame of reference of a virtual object (e.g., a CAD model) to a coordinate frame associated with the tracking system. Another example calibration routine and/or technique may determine and/or calculate a mapping or transform from a camera lens frame of reference to a frame of reference of the whole camera as determined by a tracking system. These routines and/or techniques may calibrate an AR system to provide rapid, precise alignment between virtual content and a live camera view of a real scene.
