  • Publication number: 20260271397
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to fabrication methods and resulting semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) devices that include a stacked transistor that has a gate-to-gate contact within bonding layer(s) that connects the top transistor to the bottom transistor. A high-? layer that is associated with the top gate may be selectively deposited such that the high-? layer is absent from the gate-to-gate contact. This enables the gate-to-gate contact to electrically contact a relatively higher conductivity material(s) (e.g., work function metal, or the like) within the top gate, which reduces the impedance or interfacial resistance between top gate and the gate-to-gate contact.

  • Patent number: 12705346
    Abstract: A method, a device and a storage medium for detecting intrusion of a container environment. The method includes: performing event recognition on a real-time system event by calling an event recognition model corresponding to the target container, where the event recognition model is constructed based on a historical normal system event of the target container; in response to determining that the real-time system event is an abnormal system event, calling a predetermined intrusion detection rule to perform intrusion detection on the real-time system event, to determine whether the real-time system event is an intrusion event. Thus, a real-time system event that belongs to a normal system event may be filtered out, and a complete intrusion detection may be performed on the abnormal system event, thereby reducing the amount of data for intrusion detection, reducing resource occupation, and improving the performance and efficiency of the intrusion detection.
