    Abstract: A semiconductor device is formed using an n-type layer of Zinc Oxide, a p-type layer formed of a narrow bandgap material. The narrow bandgap material uses a group 3A element and a group 5A element. A junction is formed between the n-type layer and the p-type layer, the junction being operable as a heterojunction diode having a rectifying property at a temperature range, the temperature range having a high limit at room temperature.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes an analog phase change memory array, including an array of cells addressable and accessible through first lines and second lines. The apparatus includes device(s) coupled to one or more of the first lines. The device(s) is/are able to be coupled to or decoupled from the one or more first lines to compensate for phase change memory resistance drift in resistance of at least one of the cells in the one or more first lines. The apparatus may also include control circuitry configured to send, using the first lines and second lines, a same set pulse through the device(s) to multiple individual phase change memory resistors in the phase change memory array sequentially once every period.

    Abstract: Technical solutions are described for implementing an optogenetics treatment using a probe and probe controller are described. A probe controller controls a probe to perform the method that includes emitting, by a light source of the probe, the probe is embeddable in a tissue, a light wave to interact with a corresponding chemical in one or more cells in the tissue. The method further includes capturing, by a sensor of the probe, a spectroscopy of the light wave interacting with the corresponding chemical. The method further includes sending, by the probe, the spectroscopy to an analysis system. The method further includes receiving, by the probe, from the analysis system, adjusted parameters for the light source, and adjusting, by a controller of the probe, settings of the light source according to the received adjusted parameters to emit a different light wave to interact with the corresponding chemical.
