  • Patent number: 11568931
    Abstract: A read-out circuit and a read-out method for a three-dimensional memory, comprises a read reference circuit and a sensitive amplifier, the read reference circuit produces read reference current capable of quickly distinguishing reading low-resistance state unit current and reading high-resistance state unit current. The read reference circuit comprises a reference unit, a bit line matching module, a word line matching module and a transmission gate parasitic parameter matching module. With respect to the parasitic effect and electric leakage of the three-dimensional memory in the plane and vertical directions, the present invention introduces the matching of bit line parasite parameters, leakage current and transmission gate parasitic parameters into the read reference current, and introduces the matching of parasitic parameters of current mirror into the read current, thereby eliminating the phenomenon of pseudo reading and reducing the read-out time.

  • Patent number: 11562909
    Abstract: Described is a process to clean up junction interfaces for fabricating semiconductor devices involving forming low-resistance electrical connections between vertically separated regions. An etch can be performed to remove silicon oxide on silicon surface at the bottom of a recessed feature. Described are methods and apparatus for etching up the bottom oxide of a hole or trench while minimizing the effects to the underlying epitaxial layer and to the dielectric layers on the field and the corners of metal gate structures. The method for etching features involves a reaction chamber equipped with a combination of capacitively coupled plasma and inductive coupled plasma. CHxFy gases and plasma are used to form protection layer, which enables the selectively etching of bottom silicon dioxide by NH3—NF3 plasma. Ideally, silicon oxide on EPI is removed to ensure low-resistance electric contact while the epitaxial layer and field/corner dielectric layers are—etched only minimally or not at all.

  • Publication number: 20220381931
    Abstract: A device for monitoring and identifying a mountain torrent and debris flow and a method for early warning of disasters relate to the technical field of debris flow protection. The device includes a computation device, sensors, an amplifier and an analog-to-digital converter. The sensors convert an acquired impact force signal into a digital signal by the amplifier and the analog-to-digital converter, and transmits the digital signal to the computation device. The computation device utilizes the digital signal to compute an energy coefficient of a liquid impact signal and a solid-liquid impact energy ratio, and a debris flow mode is monitored and identified in combination with a threshold range of the energy coefficient and a threshold range of the solid-liquid impact energy ratio. The device identifies the nature of the mountain torrent and debris flow through time-frequency analysis of an impact force signal generated by the debris flow to sensors.
