  • Patent number: 12190946
    Abstract: A disturb mitigation scheme is described for a 1TnC or multi-element ferroelectric gain bit-cell where after writing to a selected capacitor of the bit-cell, a cure phase is initiated. Between the cure phase and the write phase, there may be zero or more cycles where the selected word-line, bit-line, and plate-lines are pulled-down to ground. The cure phase may occur immediately before the write phase. In the cure phase, the word-line is asserted again just like in the write phase. In the cure phase, the voltage on bit-line is inverted compared to the voltage on the bit-line in the write phase. By programming a value in a selected capacitor to be opposite of the value written in the write phase of that selected capacitor, time accumulation of disturb is negated. This allows to substantially zero out disturb field on the unselected capacitors of the same bit-cell and/or other unselected bit-cells.

  • Publication number: 20240347397
    Abstract: A method to deposit a multi-layer stack for device applications includes implementing a model driven target selection for deposition. One or more targets may be procured with an initial stoichiometric composition or elemental purity. The targets may be utilized to form the multi-layer stack, and measurements may be made of chemical composition and electrical properties of the multi-layer stack. The measurements may be compared to reference target values and if measurement results are not within tolerance, the composition of the targets can be changed to yield a successive multi-layer stack. The process can be iterated until measurement results are within tolerance of target results. Additional experimentation with post deposition thermal anneal can be performed to optimize multi-layer stack properties.

  • Publication number: 20210313027
    Abstract: A system and method for creating a patterned timeline that is representative of a patient's medical history is provided. The system generally comprises a processor, a power supply, a display operably connected to the processor, a non-transitory computer-readable medium coupled to the processor and having instructions stored thereon, and a database operably connected to the processor. The processor may query the non-transitory computer-readable medium and/or database for patient health records and parse the patient health records for event data, which may be used to create medical events. The processor may then may then create patterned timelines within the user interface using the medical events so that a healthcare professional may visually navigate a patient's medical history.
