  • Publication number: 20230317827
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a process of tunning sidewall profiles of gate openings prior to filling a replacement gate electrode layer therein to improve etching rate uniformity and stability during a subsequent gate electrode etch back process. Particularly, the profile sacrificial gate electrode is adjusted to be more straight profile rather than a bowl type profile, which reduces the seam void created in the replacement gate electrode during the replacement gate process. In some embodiments, tuning the profile of gate opening further includes performing a pullback etching process of the sidewall spacers prior to depositing gate dielectric layer and work function metal layer to achieve a wider opening for metal gate filling in the replacement gate process.

  • Publication number: 20230280976
    Abstract: Embodiments include monitoring a partial sum of a multiply accumulate calculation for certain conditions. When the certain conditions are met, a reduced read energy is used to read out memory contents instead of the regular read energy used. The reduced read energy may be obtained by reducing a pre-charge voltage, withholding a pre-charge voltage or providing a ground signal, and/or by reducing voltage hold times (i.e., reducing the time a pre-charge voltage is provided and/or discharged).

  • Publication number: 20230032873
    Abstract: The battery provided in this application and having at least two ports is obtained by winding a first electrode and a second electrode that have a novel structure (for example, a plurality of tabs separately protrude from a first long side and a second long side of an electrode, and the tabs are disposed on a non-edge area). In addition, in the terminal device including the battery, the battery and another charging/discharging component may form at least two charging/discharging links, so that the terminal device can have a stronger fast charging capability, and heat dissipation pressure of each charging/discharging link can be relieved. Moreover, stress inside the battery is evenly distributed, so that interface deterioration of the electrode that is caused by stress unevenness can be alleviated. This effectively reduces a risk of shading and lithium plating generated in a cathode charging/discharging cycle, and improves performance of the battery.
