摘要:
A split gate semiconductor device includes a trench gate having a first electrode region and a second electrode region that are separated from each other by a gate oxide layer and an adjacent dielectric layer. The boundary of the gate oxide layer and the dielectric layer is curved to avoid a sharp corner where the gate oxide layer meets the sidewalls of the trench.

A method of masking a residual echo signal by an echo canceller is provided. The method comprises receiving a far-end signal, adjusting filter coefficients of an adaptive filter in response to the far-end signal, generating an echo model signal based on the far-end signal using the adaptive filter, receiving a near-end signal, subtracting the echo model signal from the near-end signal to generate an output signal, defining a spectral mask based on the near-end signal, wherein the spectral mask is indicative of near-end spectral peaks and near-end spectral valleys, de-emphasizing the output signal in spectral regions of the near-end spectral peaks, and emphasizing the output signal in spectral regions of the near-end spectral valleys, wherein the de-emphasizing occurs during filter coefficients determination for the adaptive filter. A weighted filter may perform the de-emphasizing and the emphasizing operations, where the weighted filter uses medium term spectral characteristics of the near-end signal.

A method of transceiving an audio signal is disclosed. An input audio signal is provided. It is determined whether an energy attack signal exists within the input audio signal and a decision flag is set if the energy attack signal exists. A temporal location of the energy attack point in the input audio signal is detected. Energy variations before and after the temporal location of an energy attack point are determined. The energy variations to produce quantized energy variations and a peak area energy of the input audio signal to produce a quantized peak area energy are quantized. The decision flag, the temporal location of the energy attack point, the quantized energy variations, and the quantized peak energy are transmitted.

摘要:
A speech encoder that analyzes and classifies each frame of speech as being periodic-like speech or non-periodic like speech where the speech encoder performs a different gain quantization process depending if the speech is periodic or not. If the speech is periodic, the improved speech encoder obtains the pitch gains from the unquantized weighted speech signal and performs a pre-vector quantization of the adaptive codebook gain GP for each subframe of the frame before subframe processing begins and a closed-loop delayed decision vector quantization of the fixed codebook gain GC. If the frame of speech is non-periodic, the speech encoder may use any known method of gain quantization. The result of quantizing gains of periodic speech in this manner results in a reduction of the number of bits required to represent the quantized gain information and for periodic speech, the ability to use the quantized pitch gain for the current subframe to search the fixed codebook for the fixed codebook excitation vector for the current subframe. Alternatively, the new gain quantization process which was used only for periodic signals may be extended to non-periodic signals as well. This second strategy results in a slightly higher bit rate than that for periodic signals that use the new gain quantization strategy, but is still lower than the prior art's bit rate. Yet another alternative is to use the new gain quantization process for all speech signals without distinguishing between periodic and non-periodic signals.
