  • Publication number: 20220320018
    Abstract: An interposer includes one or more capacitors to store charge to provide signals to an integrated circuit electrically connected to the interposer. First connectors to each capacitor are interspersed with second connectors to the capacitors and are spaced apart from adjacent second connectors. The one or more capacitors and the resistances associated with the conductive paths between each capacitor and a connector or another capacitor can be modeled.

  • Patent number: 10922464
    Abstract: Fabricating a first semiconductor device cell using a first process based on a first process parameter or material comprises extracting semiconductor device parameters from the first process parameters to obtain extracted semiconductor device parameters of a first semiconductor device cell. The fabrication process includes training an artificial intelligence to obtain a predictive artificial intelligence using training data as input, the training data comprising the extracted semiconductor device cell parameters and the first process parameter or material. A proposed process modification is provided to the predictive artificial intelligence to generate a predicted cell delay by the predictive artificial intelligence. The predicted cell delay is evaluated against a cell delay threshold. When the predicted cell delay satisfies the cell delay threshold, a new semiconductor device cell is fabricated using a modified process incorporating the proposed process modification.

  • Publication number: 20140344220
    Abstract: A device-aware file synchronizing method is disclosed. After a user creates an original file such as a photo or a film via a user terminal, the original file is synchronized and saved to the web storage server via an interconnected network. Next, the web storage server adjusts the original file and generates an adjusted file according to the type of the original file, or capabilities of the device to synchronize with such as computing capability, display capability and storage capability. Then, the adjusted file is synchronized to the devices via the interconnected network. According to the present invention, files of different sizes are respectively generated according to the capabilities of each device to synchronize with, then the files are synchronized to each device. Thus, the file quantity synchronized by each device is effectively increased.
