  • Publication number: 20240095930
    Abstract: A machine learning method includes: distinguishing foregrounds and backgrounds of a first image to generate a first mask image; cropping the first image to generate second and third images; cropping the first mask image to generate second and third mask images, wherein a position of the second mask image and a position of the third mask image correspond to a position of the second image and a position of the third image, respectively; generating a first feature vector group of the second image and a second feature vector group of the third image by a model; generating a first matrix according to the first and second feature vector groups; generating a second matrix according to the second and third mask images; generating a function according to the first and second matrices; and adjusting the model according to the function.

  • Publication number: 20240097026
    Abstract: A semiconductor device may include a substrate and spaced apart first and second doped regions in the substrate. The first doped region may be larger than the second doped region to define an asymmetric channel therebetween. The semiconductor device may further include a superlattice extending between the first and second doped regions to constrain dopant therein. The superlattice may include a plurality of stacked groups of layers, with each group of layers comprising a plurality of stacked base semiconductor monolayers defining a base semiconductor portion, and at least one non-semiconductor monolayer constrained within a crystal lattice of adjacent base semiconductor portions. A gate may overly the asymmetric channel.
