  • Publication number: 20230378354
    Abstract: Ferroelectric devices, including FeFET and/or FeRAM devices, include ferroelectric material layers deposited using atomic layer deposition (ALD). By controlling parameters of the ALD deposition sequence, the crystal structure and ferroelectric properties of the ferroelectric layer may be engineered. An ALD deposition sequence including relatively shorter precursor pulse durations and purge durations between successive precursor pulses may provide a ferroelectric layer having relatively uniform crystal grain sizes and a small mean grain size (e.g., ?3 nm), which may provide effective ferroelectric performance. An ALD deposition sequence including relatively longer precursor pulse durations and purge durations between successive precursor pulses may provide a ferroelectric layer having less uniform crystal grain sizes and a larger mean grain size (e.g., ?7 nm).

  • Publication number: 20230346304
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea) severity detection using recording-based electrocardiography (ECG) Signal. The major feature of the present invention emphasizes on using a recording-based ECG Signal as an input, which is different from the deep learning-based prior art of using segment-based signals as an input to a model, and the segment-based signals has only two classification results, i.e. normal or apnea. The present invention provides a method for a model to detect and output directly a value of apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) for the OSA Severity.
