  • Publication number: 20250098187
    Abstract: A memory cell structure includes a transistor structure and a capacitor structure, where the capacitor structure includes a hydrogen absorption layer. The hydrogen absorption layer absorbs hydrogen, which prevents or reduces the likelihood of the hydrogen diffusing into an underlying metal-oxide channel of the transistor structure. In this way, the hydrogen absorption layer minimizes and/or reduces the likelihood of hydrogen contamination in the metal-oxide channel, which may enable a low current leakage to be achieved for the memory cell structure and reduces the likelihood of data corruption and/or failure of the memory cell structure, among other examples.

  • Publication number: 20240422774
    Abstract: Aspects presented herein may enable a base station to perform demodulation reference signal (DMRS)-based channel sounding for a channel between the base station and a UE, such that the base station may configure a more suitable precoding for coherent UL multiple input multiple output (MIMO) transmission(s) of the UE without increasing communication overhead significantly or at all. In one aspect, a base station performs channel sounding for a channel based on a set of physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) DMRS received from a UE via the channel. The base station selects a precoding to be used by the UE for a subsequent PUSCH transmission via the channel based on the channel sounding. The base station transmits, for the UE via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), a transmit precoder matrix indicator (TPMI) indicating the selected precoding, where the PDCCH schedules the subsequent PUSCH transmission for the UE.
