Abstract: Systems and methods for material processing using wafer scale waves of precisely controlled electrons in a DC plasma is presented. The anode and cathode of a DC plasma chamber are respectively connected to an adjustable DC voltage source and a DC current source. The anode potential is adjusted to shift a surface floating potential of a stage in a positive column of the DC plasma to a reference ground potential of the DC voltage/current sources. A control loop can be activated throughout various processing steps to maintain the surface floating potential of the stage to the reference ground potential. A signal generator referenced to the ground potential is capacitively coupled to the stage to control a surface potential at the stage for provision of kinetic energy to free electrons in the DC plasma.

Abstract: Embodiments automate surfacing of underutilized development tool features, thereby enhancing the discoverability of subtools, commands, shortcuts, settings, visualizers, and other tool features. After spotting an inefficiency in the user’s interaction with one or more tools, the feature surfacing functionality offers the user an interaction optimization suggestion. A mapping structure correlates detected interaction patterns with objectively better interaction optimizations. Several examples of mappings are discussed. The user can accept a suggestion, have the suggested optimization applied by an enhanced tool, and thereby reduce the number of user gestures utilized to accomplish a desired result, reduce the number of tools utilized, increase security, reduce risk of error, or get to the desired result faster, for example. Interaction optimizations also help the user stay focused, by reducing or avoiding departures from the user’s current primary workflow.
