Abstract:
Methods for fabricating a semiconductor device having a lanthanum-family- based oxide layer are described. A gate stack having a lanthanum-family-based oxide layer is provided above a substrate. At least a portion of the lanthanum-family-based oxide layer is modified to form a lanthanum-family-based halide portion. The lanthanum-family-based halide portion is removed with a water vapor treatment.

Abstract:
A noise filter for a video processing system includes a block selector, a cost calculator, a cost table, a cost comparator, and a coefficient filter. The block selector is coupled to receive data from the quantization unit and selects blocks for additional filtering. The selected blocks are provided to the cost calculator determines a cost for each of the coefficients in the block using the cost table and the costs are summed. The cost comparator compares the total to a threshold, and filters the coefficients using the coefficient filter if the total is greater a preset threshold. The noise filter to the VLC unit then outputs the filter data.
Abstract:
A DSP structure (Fig. 1) capable of processing both an H.264 decoding flow and a non-H.264 decoding flow. The non-H.264 decoding flow can be used for standards such as MPEG 1/2/4, H.263, WMV9 and Sony Digital video. The DSP structure including: a dequantizer (DEQ), a row IDCT (IDCTR), a column IDCT (IDCTC), and a motion compensation unit(DeMC).
Abstract:
A shared pipeline architecture is provided for H.264 motion vector prediction and residual decoding, and intra prediction for CABAC and CALVC entropy in Main Profile and High Profile for standard and high definition applications. All motion vector predictions and residual decoding of I-type, P-type, and B-type pictures are completed through the shared pipeline. The architecture enables better performance and uses less memory than conventional architectures. The architecture can be completely implemented in hardware as a system-on-chip or chip set using, for example, field programmable gate array (FPGA) technology or application specific integrated circuitry (ASIC) or other custom-built logic.

Abstract:
In one embodiment, a DSP structure includes four main sections: DEQ, IDCT for row, IDCT for column, and motion compensation. The data input sequence is organized in such a way to facilitate the data loading into hardware structures for row IDCT and column IDCT. Two types of decoding flows are enabled by the DSP structure: H.264 decoding flows (e.g., dequantization, inverse discrete Hadamard transform, intra prediction, and motion decompensation), and non-H.264 decoding flows (e.g., dequantization, row inverse discrete cosine transformation, column inverse discrete cosine transformation, and motion decompensation). The non-H.264 decoding flow can be used for standards such as MPEG1/2/4, H.263, Microsoft WMV9, and Sony Digital Video.
