Abstract: A method for etching a substrate includes performing, in a plasma chamber, a first etch of a substrate material using a plasma etch process. The first etch forms features to a first depth in the material. Following the first etch, the method includes performing, in the plasma chamber without removing the substrate from the chamber, an atomic layer passivation (ALP) process to deposit a conformal film of passivation over the mask and the features formed during the first etch. The ALP process uses a vapor from a liquid precursor to form passivation over the features and the mask. The method further includes performing, in the plasma chamber, a second etch of the material using the plasma etch process. The conformal film of passivation is configured to protect the mask and sidewalls of the features during the second etch. A plasma processing system also is described.

Abstract: A low-power coherent receiver is enabled with enhanced performance for intra-datacenter reach optical interconnection applications using several techniques. The first is a coherent skew adjustment technique which enables lower-power baud-rate ADC sampling and baud-rate-spaced coherent equalization. The second is a real-valued or mixed-valued low-power coherent equalization technique, where a single-tap real-valued 4×4 MIMO equalizer plus four real-valued or two mixed-valued single-input single-out (SISO) equalizers are used for simultaneous polarization recovery, in-phase and quadrature (I/Q) phase error correction, and bandwidth equalization. The third is a power-efficient dual-DSP architecture to enhance coherent receiver performance, in which a complementary low-speed coherent DSP is introduced for optimal I/Q phase error correction and constellation decision parameters determination through more sophisticated algorithms that are too power hungry to be implemented in the primary high-speed DSP.

Abstract: Aspects provide multilevel design characterization of a web page via identifying different individual graphic element (text characters, images or graphical control elements) displayed within a web page layout, and determining linear groupings thereof (horizontal rows or vertical columns) as a function of differences in their positioning relative to each other. Aspects further identify clusters of the linear groupings and individual graphic elements as a function of clustering indicia (layout pattern indicia, gap level indicia or cluster group indicia), identify repetitive groupings of the clusters as unique list region collections, and determine a tree structure for the unique list region collections that identifies unique list region collections having more dominant element type, size, alignment, style or class name attribute values within the web page layout as root nodes, and others having less dominant element attribute values as child nodes relative to the root nodes.
