Abstract: A monocrystalline SiC substrate comprising a first surface and a second surface. The first surface comprises pinning regions and a device region. Each of the pinning regions is configured to provide a potential well which is capable to attract dislocations from a region surrounding said pinning region. The device region is configured to provide a part of the monocrystalline SiC substrate for manufacturing a semiconductor device. The device region is surrounded by the pinning regions, and a density of dislocations in a central portion of the device region is smaller than a density of dislocations in an edge of the device region due to the pinning regions. The pinning regions surrounding the device region attracts dislocations of the device region into the edge portion, so that the density of dislocations in the central portion is reduced. A yield of the semiconductor devices is improved.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for implementing methods for resolution-adaptive video coding in a motion prediction coding format by obtaining a current frame of a bitstream, obtaining one or more reference pictures from a reference frame buffer, determining the obtained reference pictures that have resolutions different from a resolution of the current frame, translating an inter predictor of the one or more reference pictures, and generating a reconstructed frame from the current frame based on the one or more reference pictures and motion information of one or more blocks of the current frame, the motion information including at least one inter predictor, thereby achieving substantial reduction of network transport costs in video coding and delivery without requiring the transport of additional data that would offset or compromise these savings.

Abstract: A client device may receive encoded data of a first video frame from a server over a network, and decode the encoded data to obtain the first frame based at least in part on one or more second frames of a second resolution that are stored in a reference frame buffer of the client device. In response to determining that the first resolution is lower than the second resolution, the client device may or may not resize the first frame from the first resolution to the second resolution and store the first frame of the first resolution and/or the resized first frame of the second resolution in the reference frame buffer, depending on which coding design that the client device employs. The client device may display the reconstructed frame to a user.
