Abstract: A cyclic pre-cleaning technique may be used to clean the surfaces of a recess in which a deep trench isolation (DTI) structure is to be formed. The cyclic pre-cleaning technique may include performing one or more deposition and etch cycles to remove oxygen from the surfaces of the recess to reduce the oxygen concentration in the surfaces of the recess. A passivation layer may be formed in the recess after the cyclic pre-cleaning technique is used to clean the surfaces. The cyclic pre-cleaning technique may include the use of germanium (Ge) to bond with oxygen in the surfaces of the recess, which results in the formation of germanium oxide (GeO). The germanium oxide is removed, resulting in reduced oxygen concentration in the surfaces of the recess. The reduced oxygen concentration increases the quality of epitaxial growth of the passivation layer in the recess.

Abstract: Provided are computer implemented systems and methods for providing improved language translation, including translation of input text to an output translated text Selement. This may include providing for rule-based language translation. This may further include a plurality of machine translation models adapted to different translation domains. A machine translation selector is described that selects an in-domain machine translator from the plurality of machine translation models based on an input text element. The selected in-domain machine translator may generate a first translated text element from the input text element. A post-editor module may generate a second translated text element by predicting a post-edit to the first translated text element. The first translated text element and the second translated text element are evaluated by a quality evaluation model that determines a first metric associated with the first translated text element and a second metric associated with the second text element.

Abstract: Some implementations described herein include operating components in a lithography system at variable speeds to reduce, minimize, and/or prevent particle generation due to rubbing of or collision between contact parts of the components. In some implementations, a component in a path of transfer of a semiconductor substrate in the lithography system is operated at a relatively high movement speed through a first portion of an actuation operation, and is operated at a reduced movement speed (e.g., a movement speed that is less than the high movement speed) through a second portion of the actuation operation in which contact parts of the component are to interact. The reduced movement speed reduces the likelihood of particle generation and/or release from the contact parts when the contact parts interact, while the high movement speed provides a high semiconductor substrate throughput in the lithography system.
