A method for forming a semiconductor structure is provided. In one form, a method includes: providing a base, where the base includes first regions and a second region located between the first regions; forming a pattern definition layer on the base; forming discrete mask layers on the pattern definition layer, the mask layers and the base defining openings, where openings of the first regions serve as first openings, and an opening of the second region serves as a second opening; forming a filling layer in the second opening; and etching, using the mask layers and the filling layer as masks, the pattern definition layer exposed from the first openings, to form target patterns. In embodiments and implementations of this application, the filling layer is formed between the mask layers of the second region, to obtain a mask that finally etches the pattern definition layer, so that the formed target patterns meet process requirements, which is conducive to improving electrical performance of the semiconductor structure.

A computer receives, at a target node, a replication target update, wherein the replication target update comprises a write frequency of a replication target and a size of the replication target. The computer creates a replication task to perform replication based upon the replication target update. The computer calculates a priority value of the replication task wherein the priority value is based upon the write frequency of the replication target and the size of the replication target. The computer inserts the replication task into a priority queue. The computer processes the replication task.

An electromechanical/solid-state AC relay has an electromechanical winding coil that moves an armature to force mechanical contacts to open or close. Electrical arcing across the mechanical contacts that occur as the contacts are opening or closing can damage and severely reduce the lifetime of the relay. Contact arcing is prevented by pulsing a triac on for a short period of time just before and after the mechanical contacts make or break contact. The triac limits the voltage difference across the mechanical contacts to less than one volt to prevent arcing. The triac is turned off after the mechanical contacts finish moving, reducing the heating and average power through the triac. A zero-sampling circuit that detects when the AC input voltage switches across 0 volts and activates a control integrated circuit to switch on the triac during zero-crossings to minimize power surges.
