Abstract: Methods of manufacturing and processing semiconductor devices (i.e., electronic devices) are described. The methods include treating a surface of a metal gate stack with a radical treatment. The radical treatment may be used to treat one or more layers or surfaces of layers in the metal gate stack. The radical treatment may be performed once or multiple times during the methods described herein. The radical treatment comprises flowing one or more of nitrogen radicals (N2*) and hydrogen radicals (H*) over the surface of the metal gate stack.

Abstract: A channel content playback method based on a hybrid network system which may avoid idleness of a digital video broadcasting (DVB) network and a hybrid set top box that may implement the method. The method includes accessing, by the hybrid set top box, an electronic program guide (EPG) system, acquiring, from the EPG system, a channel list of channel content, receiving, based on channel selection performed by a user according to the channel list, target channel content through a DVB network channel, acquiring a first uniform resource locator (URL) from the EPG system according to a rewind operation of the user, and acquiring, according to the first URL, the rewound target channel content from a content delivery network (CDN) system located in an Internet Protocol (IP) network.
