  • Publication number: 20240361133
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a map application that identifies a transit route that includes one or more transit legs between a starting location and a destination location. In response to a request to start navigating the identified transit route, the map application of some embodiments provides a first display area for displaying a set of navigation instructions, each of which describes a transit maneuver that is associated with a transit leg of the transit route. The map application also provides a second display area for displaying a map region presentation associated with the navigation instruction that is displayed in the first display area.

  • Publication number: 20240001358
    Abstract: An apparatus, methods, and a system for a photonic biosensor are disclosed. The photonic biosensor includes a substrate having a sample addition zone in fluid communication with a wicking zone and a sample detection zone. The substrate also includes an optical input port configured to optically couple to a light source and an optical output port configured to optically couple to a light detector. The photonic biosensor also includes a photonic integrated circuit (“PIC”) connected to the substrate. The PIC includes a first grating coupler aligned with the optical input port, a second grating coupler aligned with the optical output port, at least one waveguide between the first grating coupler and the second grating coupler, and at least one detection element disposed within the at least one waveguide.

  • Patent number: 11737286
    Abstract: A selector device includes a first electrode composed of a first metal having a first work function. A second electrode is composed of a second metal having a second work function. A selector layer is disposed between the first and second electrodes and is composed of a dielectric material having a conduction band and a valence band defining a band gap of at least 5 electron volts. Dopant atoms are disposed in the selector layer to form a sub-conduction band that is below the conduction band and above the work functions. When a threshold voltage is applied across the first and second electrodes, and a magnitude of the threshold voltage exceeds an energy difference between the sub-conduction band and the work functions, but does not exceed an energy difference between the conduction band and the work functions, an on-current will conduct through the selector layer.

  • Patent number: 11637242
    Abstract: The performance of a ReRAM structure may be stabilized by utilizing a dry chemical gas removal (or cleaning) process to remove sidewall residue and/or etch by-products after etching the ReRAM stack layers. The dry chemical gas removal process decreases undesirable changes in the ReRAM forming voltage that may result from such sidewall residue and/or etch by-products. Specifically, the dry chemical gas removal process may reduce the ReRAM forming voltage that may otherwise result in a ReRAM structure that has the sidewall residue and/or etch by-products. In one embodiment, the dry chemical gas removal process may comprise utilizing a combination of HF and NH3 gases. The dry chemical gas removal process utilizing HF and NH3 gases may be particularly suited for removing halogen containing sidewall residue and/or etch by-products.

  • Publication number: 20220013719
    Abstract: A resistive random access memory (ReRAM) device includes a bottom electrode and a top electrode with a switching layer disposed therebetween. The bottom electrode has a top surface in contact with a bottom surface of the switching layer. The bottom electrode also has first and second sidewalls spaced apart by a first distance where the sidewalls contact the bottom surface of the switching layer. The switching layer has first and second sidewalls spaced apart by a second distance that is larger than the first distance. The top electrode is disposed over the switching layer. The first sidewall of the switching layer overhangs the first sidewall of the bottom electrode by an overhang distance of 5 nanometers or more. The second sidewall of the switching layer overhangs the second sidewall of the bottom electrode by an overhang distance of 5 nanometers or more.
