  • Patent number: 11915976
    Abstract: An ammonium fluoride gas may be used to form a protection layer for one or more interlayer dielectric layers, one or more insulating caps, and/or one or more source/drain regions of a semiconductor device during a pre-clean etch process. The protection layer can be formed through an oversupply of nitrogen trifluoride during the pre-clean etch process. The oversupply of nitrogen trifluoride causes an increased formation of ammonium fluoride, which coats the interlayer dielectric layer(s), the insulating cap(s), and/or the source/drain region(s) with a thick protection layer. The protection layer protects the interlayer dielectric layer(s), the insulating cap(s), and/or the source/drain region(s) during the pre-clean process from being etched by fluorine ions formed during the pre-clean process.

  • Publication number: 20230413085
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for determining UE appropriate states by traffic type detection. In one novel aspect, a UE traffic type is determined based on a plurality of UE metrics. One or more UE settings for transmission and/or reception are adjusted based on the determined UE traffic type. The UE traffic type determination procedure and UE configuration adjustment procedure are iterated to balance performance and power saving. In one embodiment, the UE collects a plurality of UE metrics for a UE traffic profile matrix, wherein the UE traffic profile matrix is used to determine a plurality of UE traffic types based on the plurality of UE metrics. The UE determines a real-time UE traffic type based on the collected UE metrics using the UE traffic profile matrix and adjusts a set of UE configurations based on the UE traffic type when one or more predefined conditions are met.

  • Publication number: 20230401420
    Abstract: A system receives a neural network model that includes asymmetric operations. Each asymmetric operation includes one or more fixed-point operands that are asymmetrically-quantized from corresponding floating-point operands. The system compiles a given asymmetric operation of the neural network model into a symmetric operation that includes a combined bias value. A compiler computes the combined bias value is a constant by merging at least zero points of input and output of the given asymmetric operation. The system then generates a symmetric neural network model including the symmetric operation for inference hardware to execute in fixed-point arithmetic.

  • Patent number: 11836893
    Abstract: A video processing circuit includes an input buffer, an online adaptation circuit, and an artificial intelligence (AI) super-resolution (SR) circuit. The input buffer receives input low-resolution (LR) frames and high-resolution (HR) frames from a video source over a network. The online adaptation circuit forms training pairs, and calculates an update to representative features that characterize the input LR frames using the training pairs. Each training pair formed by one of the input LR frames and one of the HR frames. The AI SR circuit receives the input LR frames from the input buffer and the representative features from the online adaptation circuit. Concurrently with calculating the update to the representative features, the AI SR circuit generates SR frames for display from the input LR frames based on the representative features. Each SR frame has a higher resolution than a corresponding one of the input LR frames.
