  • Patent number: 11361189
    Abstract: An image generation method and a computing device employing the method includes: acquiring a plurality of original images; and processing the plurality of original images to obtain a training data set. An anti-neural network model is trained according to the training data set. A candidate image is generated through the trained anti-neural network model. The candidate image is complemented through a detail completion network model to obtain a target image according to a comparison image. Thereby, a style of the generated image is the same as that of the comparison image. A more realistic image can be randomly generated saving the time and energy of artificially creating an image.

  • Publication number: 20220145459
    Abstract: Certain embodiments herein relate to an apparatus used for remote plasma processing. In various embodiments, the apparatus includes a reaction chamber that is conditioned by forming a low recombination material coating on interior chamber surfaces. The low recombination material helps minimize the degree of radical recombination that occurs when the reaction chamber is used to process substrates. During processing on substrates, the low recombination material may become covered by relatively higher recombination material (e.g., as a byproduct of the substrate processing), which results in a decrease in the amount of radicals available to process the substrate over time. The low recombination material coating may be reconditioned through exposure to an oxidizing plasma, which acts to reform the low recombination material coating. The reconditioning process may occur periodically as additional processing occurs on substrates.

    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for providing silicon carbide films. A layer of silicon carbide can be provided under process conditions that employ one or more silicon-containing precursors that have one or more silicon-hydrogen bonds and/or silicon-silicon bonds. The silicon-containing precursors may also have one or more silicon-oxygen bonds and/or silicon-carbon bonds. One or more radical species in a substantially low energy state can react with the silicon-containing precursors to form the silicon carbide film. The one or more radical species can be formed in a remote plasma source.

  • Patent number: 11328506
    Abstract: In a crop identification method, multi-temporal sample remote sensing images labeled with first planting blocks of a specific crop are acquired. NDVI data of the sample remote sensing images are calculated. Noise of the NDVI data is reduced. A first multivariate Gaussian model is fitted based on de-noised NDVI data of the sample remote sensing image. Multi-temporal target remote sensing images are acquired. An NDVI time series of each pixel in the target remote sensing image is constructed. The NDVI time series is input to the first multivariate Gaussian model to obtain a likelihood value of each pixel displaying the specific crop in the remote sensing images. Second planting blocks of the specific crop in the target remote sensing images are determined accordingly. An accurate and robust identification result is thereby achieved.

  • Publication number: 20210391171
    Abstract: A doped or undoped silicon carbide (SiCxOyNz) film can be deposited in one or more features of a substrate for gapfill. After a first thickness of the doped or undoped silicon carbide film is deposited in the one or more features, the doped or undoped silicon carbide film is exposed to a remote hydrogen plasma under conditions that cause a size of an opening near a top surface of each of the one or more features to increase, where the conditions can be controlled by controlling treatment time, treatment frequency, treatment power, and/or remote plasma gas composition. Operations of depositing additional thicknesses of silicon carbide film and performing a remote hydrogen plasma treatment are repeated to at least substantially fill the one or more features. Various time intervals between deposition and plasma treatment may be added to modulate gapfill performance.
