  • Publication number: 20240196610
    Abstract: A memory device is formed by forming an alternating stack of insulating layers and sacrificial material layers over a substrate, forming memory openings through the alternating stack, forming memory opening fill structures in the memory openings, forming an access trench through a portion of the alternating stack forming an access trench fill structure in the access cavity, and iteratively performing multiple instances of a unit processing sequence. Each instance of the unit processing sequence includes a vertical recess etch step that vertically recesses the access trench fill structure and an isotropic etch step that isotropically recesses the sacrificial material layers. A finned access cavity is formed after the multiple instances of the unit processing sequence. A finned dielectric support structure is formed in the finned access cavity, and the sacrificial material layers are replaced with electrically conductive layers.

  • Patent number: 11481512
    Abstract: An on-board device includes a processor. The processor is configured to operate as an acquisition unit configured to acquire data from a sensor mounted on a vehicle, a human-machine-interface (HMI) unit configured to perform a process for exerting a human-machine-interface (HMI) function, and a data management unit configured to make determination on a category of the data delivered from the acquisition unit and deliver, to the HMI unit, data in a first category that does not contain data that is not desired to be delivered to the HMI unit. The HMI unit is configured to perform the process for exerting the HMI function based on the data delivered from the data management unit.
