Semiconductor device structures with a gate structure having different profiles at different portions of the gate structure may include a fin structure on a substrate, a source/drain structure on the fin structure, and a gate structure over the fin structure and along a sidewall of the fin. The source/drain structure is proximate the gate structure. The gate structure has a top portion having a first sidewall profile and a bottom portion having a second sidewall profile different from the first sidewall profile.

Gate structure with non-linear profile for transistors

Gate structure with desired profile for semiconductor devices

Semiconductor device structures comprising a gate structure having different profiles at different portions of the gate structure are provided. In some examples, a semiconductor device includes a fin structure on a substrate, a source/drain structure on the fin structure, and a gate structure over the fin structure and along a sidewall of the fin. The source/drain structure is proximate the gate structure. The gate structure has a top portion having a first sidewall profile and a bottom portion having a second sidewall profile different from the first sidewall profile.

An apparatus for processing a video signal with N frames is provided. The apparatus includes an encoding module and a selecting module. The encoding module performs a 1through a Nencoding procedure. The 1through the Nencoding procedure respectively encodes the 1through the Nframe among the N frames in a full-image-encoding mode, encodes other frames in an adaptive-image-encoding mode, and calculates the data amount of the N encoded frames in each encoding procedure, respectively. The selecting module selects the N encoded frames with the smallest data amount among the encoding procedures been performed.
