Abstract: The demand for increased performance and shrinking geometry from ICs has brought the introduction of multi-gate devices including finFET devices. Inducing a higher tensile strain/stress in a region provides for enhanced electron mobility, which may improve performance. High temperature processes during device fabrication tend to relax the stress on these strain inducing layers.

A strain-inducing layer is disposed on a semiconductor fin between a channel region and a metal gate electrode. First and second inner spacers are disposed on a top surface of the strain-inducing layer and have inner sidewalls disposed along outer sidewalls of the metal gate electrode. First and second outer spacers have innermost sidewalls disposed along outer sidewalls of the first and second inner spacers, respectively. The first and second outer spacers cover outer sidewalls of the first and second inner spacers.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for autonomously detecting and reporting anomalies in actions of an autonomous mobile node, or in behaviors of a swarm of autonomous mobile nodes to an operator. The autonomous mobile node may experience anomalies or unexpected situations due to various failures or external influence (e.g. natural weather phenomena, enemy threats). During a training phase a prediction model and a structured model may be established from measurement data received from one or more sensors of an autonomous mobile node or a swarm of nodes while executing an action or behavior under normal circumstances. A prediction model forecasts the expected outcome of an action or behavior, and structured model helps quantify the similarity of a learned action or behavior to the currently observed situation. Based on the measurement data applicable models can be used for an action or behavior for anomaly detection in the action or behavior.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system organizes fact data to be aggregated into sliding time window features and observation data associated with the fact data into a set of partitions based on a join key. Next, the system sorts the fact data and the observation data within the set of partitions by the join key and timestamps associated with the fact data and the observation data. For each observation record in the observation data, the system aggregates fact records in the sorted fact data that share a value of the join key with the observation record and that fall within a first time window associated with the observation record to produce a sliding time window feature. The system then stores the sliding time window feature in association with the observation record.
