Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a method for forming a semiconductor structure, the method includes forming a buffer layer over a substrate. An active layer is formed on the buffer layer. A top electrode is formed on the active layer. An etch process is performed on the buffer layer and the substrate to define a plurality of pillar structures. The plurality of pillar structures include a first pillar structure laterally offset from a second pillar structure. At least portions of the first and second pillar structures are spaced laterally between sidewalls of the top electrode.

Abstract: Net-based checking of a circuit design includes obtaining a circuit design comprising a plurality of polygons. Further, a shape of a first polygon of the plurality of polygons, and a shape of a second polygon of the plurality of polygons is determined. The shape of the first polygon differs from a shape of the second polygon. Violations within the circuit design are detected based on a comparison of the first polygon with the second polygon.

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.

Abstract: An engineering change order (ECO) modifying an IC having spare cell instances is implemented by converting active cell instances implementing portions of the IC to be deleted into additional spare cell instances, by creating a technology independent behavioral model of portions of the IC to be added, by selecting spare cell instances to implement the behavior model, and by routing nets to the selected spare cell instances in a way that minimizes a number of metal layers of the IC that are modified.

Abstract: A flexible and high-speed network packet classifying method is disclosed. A plurality of aggregated flows (Aflows) are defined, each corresponding to an Aflow ID and described by symbols in fields of headers of a plurality of network packets. The tokens of the fields of the headers of the plurality of network packets are extracted. A bit stream pool of a memory is indexed responsive to the token of the field by using a two-stage index manager, wherein the bit stream pool has a plurality of bit streams, each having a plurality of bits arranged serially, and each bit corresponds to an aggregated flow. A bits-and operation is performed for a plurality of bit streams obtained from the bit stream pool for classifying network packets.
