  • Publication number: 20240120207
    Abstract: A semiconductor package includes a die having a plurality of devices over a first substrate, where the first substrate includes a dopant at a first concentration and the first substrate has a first width along a horizontal direction. The semiconductor package further includes a second substrate fused with the first substrate, where the second substrate includes the dopant at a second concentration greater than the first concentration.

  • Publication number: 20240105193
    Abstract: This application provides picture or audio encoding and decoding methods and apparatuses, and relates to the field of artificial intelligence (AI)—based picture or audio encoding and decoding technologies, and specifically, to the field of neural network-based picture feature map or audio feature variable encoding and decoding technologies. The encoding method includes: obtaining a to-be-encoded target, where the to-be-encoded target includes a plurality of feature elements, and the plurality of feature elements include a first feature element. The method further includes: obtaining a probability estimation result of the first feature element; determining, based on the probability estimation result of the first feature element, whether to perform entropy encoding on the first feature element; and performing entropy encoding on the first feature element only when it is determined that entropy encoding needs to be performed on the first feature element.
