Abstract: A pattern of core material is formed on a wafer to include core features that have a critical dimension. A trim amount indicates an average amount of thickness to be removed from vertically oriented surfaces of the core features. A trim profile indicates how much variation in removal of thickness from vertically oriented surfaces of the core features is to be applied as a function of radial location on the wafer. A first set of data correlates the trim amount to one or more plasma trim process parameters. A second set of data correlates the trim profile to one or more plasma trim process parameters. Based on the trim amount, trim profile, and first and second sets of data, a set of plasma trim process parameters to achieve the trim amount and trim profile on the wafer is determined and a corresponding plasma trim process is performed on the wafer.

Abstract: The present invention extends configuring development and operations pipelines using drag and drop techniques. Through user interface gestures, users can form and manage pipelines that span any combination of: public cloud resources, private cloud resources, user on-premise resources, etc., in accordance with appropriate (cloud and/or on-premise) profile information. The user interface facilitates pipeline (re)configuration as appropriate to address alterations to workflows, upgrades to DevOps tools, removal of functionality from a workflow, etc. The user interface enables customers to build no-code pipelines for various use cases in a drag and drop manner. Users can integrate collaboration tools, notifications, and approval gates offering thresholds at each and every step. In addition, the pipeline framework captures logs and provides a summary via livestream and also upon completion of each pipeline activity and after each pipeline.
