  • Publication number: 20250126774
    Abstract: Memory devices are provided which have stacked DRAM cells, resulting in an increase in DRAM cell bit-density. In a 3D DRAM with stacked unit cell layers of one or more embodiments, it is necessary to reduce the area of a unit cell in order to increase bit density per unit area for a given number of stacked cells. In one or more embodiments, n wordlines (nWL, n is an integer?2) share a contact pad. The shared nWLs are separated by n bitlines (BLs) to assign every cell independently one WL and one BL.

  • Publication number: 20250115900
    Abstract: An example of a biotin-streptavidin cleavage composition includes a formamide reagent and a salt buffer. The formamide reagent is present in the biotin-streptavidin cleavage composition in an amount ranging from about 10% to about 50%, based on a total volume of the biotin-streptavidin cleavage composition. The salt buffer makes up the balance of the biotin-streptavidin cleavage composition. In some examples, the biotin-streptavidin cleavage composition is used to cleave library fragments from a solid support. In other examples, other mechanisms are used to cleave library fragments from a solid support.

  • Publication number: 20250117292
    Abstract: Disclosed in the embodiments of the present application are a data storage method and apparatus, a device, and a non-transitory readable storage medium. According to the embodiments of the present application, F parity blocks occupying blank storage areas are added to a RAID system, which not only increases error tolerance but also eliminates the need for additional parity disks. During data storage, corresponding original check codes are solved according to an original encoding method, and additional check codes located on the parity blocks are solved simultaneously. Thus, it is possible to recover more erroneous data based on the original check codes and the additional check codes. When an error occurs in a disk in which any block in a stripe is located and data loss occurs in other blocks of the same stripe, the corresponding data can still be recovered.
