  • Publication number: 20250151424
    Abstract: This application discloses a CIS pixel readout structure. An SF and an SG adopt an asymmetric spacer structure, so that the pitch from a lower end of a source metal plug of the SG to SG gate poly can be reduced while keeping the pitch from a lower end of a drain metal plug of the SF to SF gate poly unchanged, thus reducing the pitch from a drain connecting point of the SF to a source connecting point of the SG. Since a source of the SG is not connected with working voltage and it is not influenced by leakage, not only can GIDL current be maintained, but also parasitic resistance can be reduced. Without changing its effective size, it can reduce the parasitic resistance effect while reducing the area of a combined structure of the SF and the SG.

  • Publication number: 20250150735
    Abstract: This application discloses a CIS pixel readout circuit structure. An SG and an SF adopt different transverse thicknesses of spacers. The spacer of the SG adopts a smaller transverse thickness to reduce the parasitic resistance. The spacer of the SF adopts a larger transverse thickness to reduce the GIDL current. In the CIS pixel readout circuit structure according to this application, drain metal plugs are formed on outer sides of both left and right ends of an SF gate structure. The SF and the SG form a T-shaped combined compact structure to achieve equivalent parallel connection of two SF, thus effectively reducing the parasitic resistance of the share active area between the SG and the SF, and simultaneously saving the space area. This application further discloses a method for fabricating a CIS pixel readout circuit structure.

  • Publication number: 20250150900
    Abstract: Adaptable resiliency for a virtualized radio access network (vRAN) framework is disclosed. A resiliency management component can determine vRAN topological adaptations that can reflect resiliency requirements of service instance(s). Accordingly, sufficient redundant vRAN components to satisfy the resiliency requirements can be deployed. However, unlike conventional redundancy techniques that can determine a highest level of redundancy and then apply that relative to all supported services, the disclosed subject matter can avoid over-deploying redundant vRAN components, e.g., redundant components exceeding the resiliency requirement of a service instance, resulting in lowered monetary and non-monetary costs to maintain a vRAN. Moreover, as the services change, the topology of the vRAN can be automatically adapted to purge excessive redundancies, add newly required redundancies, etc., which can facilitate propagating an adequate but lean vRAN topology that is sufficiently resilient.

  • Patent number: 12294412
    Abstract: Disclosed are a signal demodulation method and apparatus, a computer storage medium and a device. The method comprises: acquiring a signal to be demodulated; performing direct current blocking and bias processing on the signal to obtain a processed signal; comparing the processed signal with a preset decision signal, and obtaining a demodulation signal according to a comparison result. Thus, direct current blocking processing on a modulation signal can avoid dynamic changes of DC components caused by average power changes of carrier signals, avoiding wrongly demodulating the modulation signal. Bias processing after the direct current blocking on the modulation signal can further realize an AC signal decision without introducing a negative pressure source. A real-time decision on the processed signal via the preset decision signal can dynamically adapt the average power of carrier signals, thereby ensuring to correctly demodulate the modulation signal and improving the accuracy of demodulation results.
