  • Patent number: 11961838
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are in the field of advanced integrated circuit structure fabrication and, in particular, 10 nanometer node and smaller integrated circuit structure fabrication and the resulting structures. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a first isolation structure over a first end of a fin. A gate structure is over the fin and is spaced apart from the first isolation structure along the direction. A second isolation structure is over a second end of the fin, the second end opposite the first end. The second isolation structure is spaced apart from the gate structure. The first isolation structure and the second isolation structure both comprise a first dielectric material laterally surrounding a recessed second dielectric material distinct from the first dielectric material. The recessed second dielectric material laterally surrounds at least a portion of a third dielectric material different from the first and second dielectric materials.

  • Publication number: 20240096586
    Abstract: A multi-electron beam system that forms hundreds of beamlets can focus the beamlets, reduce Coulomb interaction effects, and improve resolutions of the beamlets. A Wien filter with electrostatic and magnetic deflection fields can separate the secondary electron beams from the 5 primary electron beams and can correct the astigmatism and source energy dispersion blurs for all the beamlets simultaneously.

  • Publication number: 20240071416
    Abstract: Various apparatuses, systems, methods, and media are disclosed to provide a heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) medium. The HAMR medium includes a substrate, a heat sink layer on the substrate, and a plurality of magnetic recording layers on the heat sink layer. The plurality of magnetic recording layers includes a first magnetic layer and a second magnetic layer disposed on the first magnetic layer.

  • Patent number: 11169825
    Abstract: In an example method, a request for a dynamic access link is received from a first device. The request includes data identifying a first network resource. A subject associated with the first network resource is identified, and one or more additional network resources pertaining to the subject are determined. The dynamic access link is determined, and the dynamic access link is provided to the first device. A network resource access request is received from a second device. The network resource access request is generated responsive to the dynamic access link being selected. Responsive to receiving the network resource access request, at least one of the first resource or the one or more additional network resources is chosen, and a network address of the chosen resource is provided to the second device.

  • Patent number: 11125883
    Abstract: Efficient and scalable three-dimensional point cloud segmentation. In an embodiment, a three-dimensional point cloud is segmented by adding points to a spatial hash. For each unseen point, a cluster is generated, the unseen point is added to the cluster and marked as seen, and, for each point that is added to the cluster, the point is set as a reference, a reference threshold metric is computed, all unseen neighbors are identified based on the reference threshold metric, and, for each identified unseen neighbor, the unseen neighbor is marked as seen, a neighbor threshold metric is computed, and the neighbor is added or not added to the cluster based on the neighbor threshold metric. When the cluster reaches a threshold size, it may be added to a cluster list. Objects may be identified based on the cluster list and used to control autonomous system(s).

  • Patent number: 10657710
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for rendering computer graphics. In various embodiments, a displacement map is created for a plurality of surfaces and a tessellation process is initiated. It is determined that the tessellation density of a first set of surfaces and a second set of surfaces should be modified based on the displacement map. Based on the displacement map, a tessellation factor scale for each surface of the first set of surfaces is increased and a tessellation factor scale for each surface of the second set of surfaces is decreased, respectively.
