Publication number: 20230044007Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and non-transitory machine-readable media associated with seizure risk determination are described. A seizure risk determination can include receiving signaling from a radio in communication with a processing resource configured to monitor patient health data of a patient, signaling from a radio in communication with a processing resource configured to monitor health provider data associated with seizures, and signaling from a radio in communication with a processing resource configured to monitor environmental data associated with the patient. The seizure risk determination can include determining a seizure baseline for the patient and a seizure risk for the patient based on the signaling. The seizure risk determination can include identifying output data representative of a seizure plan for the patient and transmitting the output data representative of the seizure plan.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2021Publication date: February 9, 2023Inventors: Barbara L.

Patent number: 10790290Abstract: A 3D NAND storage device includes a plurality of layers containing doped semiconductor material interleaved with a plurality of layers of dielectric material. Each of the pillars forming the 3D NAND storage device includes a plurality of memory cells and a drain-end select gate (SGD). The pillars are separated by a hollow channel in which a plurality of film layers, including at least a lower film layer and an upper film layer have been deposited. The systems and methods described herein remove at least the upper film layer proximate the SGD while maintaining the film layers proximate the memory cells. Such an arrangement beneficially permits tailoring the film layers proximate the SGD prior to depositing the channel film layer in the hollow channel. The systems and methods described herein permit the deposition of a continuous channel film layer proximate both the memory cells and the SGD.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2017Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: David A. Daycock, Purnima Narayanan, John Hopkins, Guoxing Duan, Barbara L. Casey, Christopher J. Larsen, Meng-Wei Kuo, Qian Tao

Patent number: 10541252Abstract: Some embodiments include a memory array which has a vertical stack of alternating insulative levels and wordline levels. The wordline levels have terminal ends corresponding to control gate regions. Charge-trapping material is along the control gate regions of the wordline levels and not along the insulative levels. The charge-trapping material is spaced from the control gate regions by charge-blocking material. Channel material extends vertically along the stack and is laterally spaced from the charge-trapping material by dielectric material. Some embodiments include methods of forming NAND memory arrays.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2019Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: David Daycock, Richard J. Hill, Christopher Larsen, Woohee Kim, Justin B. Dorhout, Brett D. Lowe, John D. Hopkins, Qian Tao, Barbara L. Casey

Patent number: 6069087Abstract: A plasma-enhanced method of selectively etching silicon dielectrics, such as silicon nitride, silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, or silicon oxime relative to photoresist in a single step. A combination of a fluorocarbon selectivity agent such as difluoromethane, and a fluorocarbon etchant gas such as carbon tetrafluoride or pentafluoroethane, is used as the source gas for the plasma etch. The source gas concentration is within the range of approximately 1:2 to 2:1 selectivity agent to etchant gas, and the resultant plasma etches silicon dielectric at a rate approximately four times as fast as photoresist. The process is particularly useful for the etching of silicon dielectric spacers, or silicon nitride layers in the initial stages of a LOCOS process.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 1998Date of Patent: May 30, 2000Assignees: Micron Technology, Inc., Applied Materials, Inc.Inventors: David J.
