    摘要: An RF signal is rapidly brought to a high power level prior to the introduction of a wafer into the reaction chamber to initiate a plasma that agitates and circulates any particles within the reaction chamber, thereby allowing effective reaction chamber cleaning; and an RF signal is slowly brought to a high power level to initiate a plasma prior to or during wafer processing to avoid disturbing and circulating such particles during wafer processing, thereby preventing particle induced contamination. A magnetic field may be applied to the reaction chamber to move particles from a plasma sheath/glow region interface to a reaction chamber exhaust line, and thereby prevent such particles from falling onto a processed wafer.

    摘要: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to a TFT and methods for manufacture thereof. Specifically, the embodiments herein relate to methods for forming a semiconductor layer at a low temperature for use in a TFT. The semiconductor layer may be formed by depositing a nitride or oxynitride layer, such as zinc nitride or oxynitride, and then converting the nitride layer into an oxynitride layer with a different oxygen content. The oxynitride layer is formed by exposing the deposited nitride layer to a wet atmosphere at a temperature between about 85 degrees Celsius and about 150 degrees Celsius. The exposure temperature is lower than the typical deposition temperature used for forming the oxynitride layer directly or annealing, which may be performed at temperatures of about 400 degrees Celsius.

    摘要: This disclosure describes techniques for quantizing coefficients of a video block for a video coding process that supports context-based adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC). A method may comprise generating a plurality of sets of quantized coefficients for the video block, wherein each of the sets of quantized coefficients is defined based on an assumption that a particular one of the coefficients of the video block corresponds to a last non-zero coefficient of the video block, estimating a plurality of costs associated with coding the video block via the CABAC, wherein the estimated costs are based respectively on different ones of the sets of quantized coefficients, and selecting a given one of the sets of quantized coefficients associated with a lowest cost.

    摘要: A capping layer may be deposited over the active channel of a thin film transistor (TFT) in order to protect the active channel from contamination. The capping layer may affect the performance of the TFT. If the capping layer contains too much hydrogen, nitrogen, or oxygen, the threshold voltage, sub threshold slope, and mobility of the TFT may be negatively impacted. By controlling the ratio of the flow rates of the nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen containing gases, the performance of the TFT may be optimized. Additionally, the power density, capping layer deposition pressure, and the temperature may also be controlled to optimize the TFT performance.

    摘要: This disclosure describes filtering techniques applied by an encoder and a decoder during the prediction stage of a video encoding and/or decoding process. The filtering techniques may enhance the accuracy of predictive data used during fractional interpolation, and may improve predictive data of integer blocks of pixels. There are several aspects to this disclosure, including a useful twelve-pixel filter support that may be used for interpolation, techniques that use coefficient symmetry and pixel symmetry to reduce the amount of data needed to be sent between an encoder and a decoder to configure the filter support for interpolation, and techniques for filtering data at integer pixel locations in a manner that is similar to sub-pixel interpolation. Other aspects of this disclosure concern techniques for encoding information in the bitstream to convey the type of filter used, and possibly the filter coefficients used. Predictive coding of filter coefficients is also described.

    摘要: This disclosure describes selective deblock filtering techniques that are particularly useful with coding standards that do not specify in-loop deblock filtering for standard compliance. In accordance with this disclosure, deblock filtering may be selectively performed with respect to block boundaries of a given video block being coded, a motion compensation process can be performed using a filtered version of the prediction video frame used to code the given video block, or both. This disclosure also provides selection rules that can be applied to determine what type of deblocking techniques to apply in various scenarios. The selection rules may improve the video coding and may also ensure that mismatch between video blocks at an encoder and a decoder is not introduced by the deblock filtering.

    摘要: This disclosure recognizes and exploits the fact that some of the filter coefficients defined at the encoder may possess symmetry relative to other filter coefficients. Accordingly, this disclosure describes techniques in which a first set of the filter coefficients are used to predictively encode a second set of the filter coefficients, thereby exploiting any symmetry between filter coefficients. Rather than communicate all of the filter coefficients to the decoding device, the encoding device may communicate the first set of filter coefficients and difference values associated with the second set of filter coefficients. Using this information, the decoder may be able to reconstruct all of the filter coefficients. In some cases, if exact symmetry is imposed, the need to send the difference values may be eliminated and the decoder may be able to derive the second set of filter coefficients from the first set of filter coefficients.
