Abstract: New radio download numerology allocation information may be obtained through master information block data, system information block data, radio resource control signals, or signals or a physical downlink numerology indication channel, and used along with a reference signal detected in a search space to obtain resource element positions in an antenna port reference signal in a resource block that belongs to a particular band slice according to a reference signal allocation scheme for a band slice numerology. A physical download control may then be decoded based upon one or more resource elements of the reference signal, allowing the connection of, e.g., an enhanced mobile broadband, massive machine type communication, or ultra-reliable/low-latency application to a communications network thereby. Alternatively, multiple physical downlink control channels may be blindly demodulated at each of a number calculated reference signal locations, and one channel selected based on passing a cyclic redundancy check.

Abstract: A semiconductor device, includes a device layer comprising: a channel region; a gate stack over and along sidewalls of the channel region and a first insulating fin; and an epitaxial source/drain region adjacent the channel region, wherein the epitaxial source/drain region extends through the first insulating fin. The semiconductor device further includes a front-side interconnect structure on a first side of the device layer; and a backside interconnect structure on a second side of the device layer opposite the first side of the device layer. The backside interconnect structure comprises a backside source/drain contact that is electrically connected to the epitaxial source/drain region.

Abstract: An optical element with a lanthanide compound layer in accordance with the present invention comprises: an optical substrate including a first surface; the lanthanide compound layer made of lanthanide compound and being disposed on the first surface, and the lanthanide compound layer including a second surface; and an optical film stack disposed on the second surface. With the design of the lanthanide compound layer, the optical element has a blocking effect. Therefore, during the cleaning process of the optical element, a large number of particles can be removed, while effectively suppressing the expansion and generation of pinhole defects, and maintaining the original performance of the optical element.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described herein for beamforming based initial access, beam management, and beam based mobility designs for NR systems. Issues are identified and addressed related to one or more of initial access, control channel design, eMBB and URLLC mixing, and beam training. The methods, systems and apparatus may include a receiving scheduling information and a preemption indication via a DCI. In addition, there may be a detecting and decoding of the preemption indication, a determining of a HARQ feedback associated, and a sending, to a network node, of the HARQ feedback.

Abstract: A method includes forming a first metallic feature, forming a dielectric layer over the first metallic feature, etching the dielectric layer to form an opening, with a top surface of the first metallic feature being exposed through the opening, and performing a first treatment on the top surface of the first metallic feature. The first treatment is performed through the opening, and the first treatment is performed using a first process gas. After the first treatment, a second treatment is performed through the opening, and the second treatment is performed using a second process gas different from the first process gas.
