Abstract: A data processing circuit and a fault-mitigating method, which are adapted for a memory having a faulty bit, are provided. The memory is configured to store data related to an image, a weight for a multiply-accumulate (MAC) operation of image feature extraction, and/or a value for an activation operation. Sequence data is written into the memory. The bit number of the sequence data equals to the bit number used for storing data in a sequence block of the memory. The sequence data is accessed from the memory, wherein the access of the faulty bit in the memory is ignored. The value of the faulty bit is replaced by the value of a non-faulty bit in the memory to form new sequence data. The new sequence data is used for MAC. Accordingly, the accuracy of image recognition can be improved for the faulty memory.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a device and a method for measuring a thickness of an ultrathin film on a solid substrate. The thickness of the target ultrathin film is measured from the intensity of the fluorescence converted by the substrate and leaking and tunneling through the target ultrathin film at low detection angle. The fluorescence generated from the substrate has sufficient and stable high intensity, and therefore can provide fluorescence signal strong enough to make the measurement performed rapidly and precisely. The detection angle is small, and therefore the noise ratio is low, and efficiency of thickness measurement according to the method disclosed herein is high. The thickness measurement method can be applied into In-line product measurement without using standard sample, and therefore the thickness of the product can be measured rapidly and efficiently.
