  • Publication number: 20240363399
    Abstract: A method includes forming a first dielectric layer over a source/drain region, and forming a source/drain contact plug over and electrically connecting to the source/drain region. A top portion of the source/drain contact plug has a first lateral dimension. An implantation process is performed to implant a dopant into the first dielectric layer. The implantation process results in the source/drain contact plug to have a second lateral dimension smaller than the first lateral dimension. The method further includes forming a second dielectric layer over the etch stop layer, and forming a gate contact plug adjacent to the source/drain contact plug.

  • Patent number: 12132879
    Abstract: A device such as a color printer includes a main memory, a cache memory, and a convolutional neural network configured to convert pixels from a first color space to a second color space. The convolutional neural network is organized into execution-separable layers, and loaded one or more layer at a time (depending on cache size) from the main memory to the cache memory, whereby the pixels are processed through each of the layers in the cache memory, and layers that have completed processing are evicted to make room for caching next layer(s) of the network.

  • Patent number: 12078597
    Abstract: A framework that includes a feature extractor and a cluster component for clustering is described herein. The framework supports (1) offline image-based unsupervised clustering that replaces time-consuming manual gating; (2) online image-based single cell sorting. During training, one or multiple cell image datasets with or without ground truth are used to train feature extractor, which is based on a neural network including several convolutional layers. Once trained, the feature extractor is used to extract features of cell images for unsupervised cell clustering and sorting. In addition, additional datasets may be used to further refine the feature extractor after it has been trained.
