Abstract: A transistor channel profile structure may be improved to provide better transistor circuits performance. In one example, a transistor circuit may include different fin profiles for the NMOS transistors and the PMOS transistors, such as the NMOS fins are thicker than the PMOS fins or the NMOS fin has a straight vertical surface and the PMOS fin has a notch at a fin bottom region. In still another example, a transistor circuit may include different nano-sheet profiles for a NMOS GAA device and a PMOS GAA device where the NMOS nano-sheet is thicker than the PMOS nano-sheet. Such configurations optimize the NMOS and the PMOS transistors with the NMOS having a low channel resistance while the PMOS has a lower short channel effect.

Abstract: To prevent short defects between source/drains of transistors of a complementary cell circuit, isolation walls are formed in an isolation region between the source/drains of the transistors prior to growing a P-type epitaxial layer and an N-type epitaxial layer on respective sides of the isolation region. The isolation walls provide a physical barrier to prevent formation of short defects that can otherwise form between the P-type and N-type epitaxial layers. Thus, the isolation walls prevent circuit failures resulting from electrical shorts between source/drain regions of transistors in complementary cell circuits. A width of the isolation region between a P-type transistor and an N-type transistor in a circuit cell layout can be reduced so that a total layout area of the complementary cell circuit can be reduced without reducing product yield. A gate cut may be formed in the dummy gate with a process of forming the isolation walls.

Abstract: A method for processing an audio signal is provided. In the method, audio signals sent by at least two sound sources are acquired by at least two microphones to obtain multiple frames of original noisy signals of each microphone on a time domain. For each frame, frequency-domain estimation signals of each sound source are acquired according to the original noisy signals of the at least two microphones. For each sound source, the frequency-domain estimation signals are divided into multiple frequency-domain estimation components on a frequency domain. For each sound source, feature decomposition is performed on a related matrix of each frequency-domain estimation component to obtain a target feature vector. A separation matrix of each frequency point is obtained based on target feature vectors and the frequency-domain estimation signals. The audio signals of sounds are obtained based on the separation matrixes and the original noisy signals.
