Abstract: IC devices with logic circuits using vertical transistors with backside source or drain (S/D) regions, and related assemblies and methods, are disclosed herein. An example vertical transistor includes an elongated structure (e.g., a nanoribbon) of one or more semiconductor materials extending between a first side (e.g., a back side) and an opposing second side (e.g., a front side) of a substrate. The first S/D region of the transistor may be provided at the first side of the substrate, while the second S/D region of the transistor may be provided at the second side, with the channel region of the transistor being the portion of the elongated structure between the first and second S/D regions. Implementing various logic circuits using vertical transistors with backside S/D regions may provide a promising way to increasing densities of transistors on the limited real estate of semiconductor chips and/or decreasing short-channel effects associated with continuous scaling of IC components.

Abstract: Integrated circuit cell architectures including both front-side and back-side structures. One or more of back-side implant, semiconductor deposition, dielectric deposition, metallization, film patterning, and wafer-level layer transfer is integrated with front-side processing. Such double-side processing may entail revealing a back side of structures fabricated from the front-side of a substrate.

Front-side devices, such as FETs, may be modified and/or interconnected during back-side processing. Electrical test may be performed from front and back sides of a workpiece. Back-side devices, such as FETs, may be integrated with front-side devices to expand device functionality, improve performance, or increase device density.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for configuring a plurality of network devices to connect to a cloud-based provisioning system via a single web socket connection. The connection may be established between the provisioning system and a first gateway that serves as the entry point to the Internet from a branch office.

The single web socket connection can dramatically reduce the number of connections that need to be established with the cloud-based provisioning system.

Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for performing comprehensive and accurate matching of user accounts with one or more known entities based on image-linking graphs. Images related to each known entity are retrieved from one or more online sources. Faces are extracted from the images. Based on attributes of the faces in the images, an image-linking graph is generated for the entity. When a user account is determined to be a potential match for the entity based on text-based attributes, an image associated with the account may be obtained. If the image matches with any one of the faces in the image-linking graph, an action is performed to the user account based on a position of the matched face in the image-linking graph.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media directed to adaptable drawing guides. In implementations, a guide mode is identified. Generally, a guide mode indicates a manner in which to use a drawing guide to confine strokes corresponding with input paths. Upon detecting an input path, a stroke is drawn in accordance with the guide mode. For example, when an edge mode is employed, the drawn stroke is confined to align with at least one edge of the drawing guide, when an inside mode is employed, the drawn stroke is confined inside of the set of edges of the drawing guide, and when the outside mode is employed, the drawn stroke is confined outside of the set of edges of the drawing guide.

The trench contact member can form another interface with the conductive interconnect member, providing a satisfactory contact resistance therebetween.
