Abstract: A method for removing a native oxide film from a semiconductor substrate includes repetitively depositing layers of germanium on the native oxide and heating the substrate causing the layer of germanium to form germanium oxide, desorbing a portion of the native oxide film.

A subsequent layer of strontium titanate can be deposited on the semiconductor substrate, over either residual germanium or a deposited germanium layer. The germanium can be converted to silicon germanium oxide by exposing the strontium titanate to oxygen.

Abstract: A robust multimodal data integration method, termed the SMSPL technique, aimed at simultaneously predicting subtypes of cancers and identifying potentially significant multiomics signatures, is provided. The SMSPL technique leverages linkages among different types of data to interactively recommend high-confidence training samples during classifier training. Particularly, a new soft weighting scheme is adopted to assign weights to training samples of each type, thus more faithfully reflecting latent importance of samples in self-paced learning. The SMSPL technique iterates between calculating the sample weights from training loss values and minimizing weighted training losses for classifier updating, allowing the classifiers to be efficiently trained.
