  • Publication number: 20250254915
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to processing methods and resulting structures for providing robust backside contacts. In a non-limiting embodiment, a backside contact is electrically coupled to a first source or drain (S/D) region and a frontside contact electrically coupled to a second S/D region. A backside contact dielectric liner wraps around the backside contact. The backside contact dielectric liner includes an L-shaped spacer having direct contact with a shoulder surface and a sidewall surface of the backside contact.

  • Patent number: 10237850
    Abstract: A system and method for handling conflicts between periodic resources configured or assigned to a wireless device in a communication network including, in one embodiment, a system and method for determining whether a conflict exists between a first periodic resource occurring with a first periodicity and at least one other periodic resource occurring with a second periodicity in a search region defined based on the first periodicity and the second periodicity, and when a conflict exists, configuring the at least one other periodic resource at a conflict-free position in the search region. By defining the search region based on periodicities of conflicting resources, the present disclosure helps to reduce computations and/or processing time required for identifying and resolving conflicts.
