  • Publication number: 20240421002
    Abstract: An IC device includes a gate electrode having multiple lengths. The length of a first portion of the gate electrode, which is over a channel region in a semiconductor structure, may be longer (e.g., about 0.5-3 nm longer) than the length of a second portion of the gate electrode, which is over a channel region in another semiconductor structure. The pitches at the two portions of the gate electrode may be the same or substantially similar. The lengths of the gate electrode can be differentiated by using dry clean based removal of a dielectric material surrounding the semiconductor structures. A larger amount of the dielectric material may be removed at a first region than a second region so that the gap at the first region can be longer than the gap at the second region. A conductive material may be provided to fill the gaps to form the gate electrode.

  • Patent number: 12159522
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces for facilitating operations. In some examples, computer systems provide indications that educate and/or guide users for performing an operation. In some examples, computer systems perform a first operation based on a first type of user input corresponding to a first hardware input device and perform a second operation based on a second type of user input corresponding to the first hardware input devices. In some examples, computer systems adjust audio output of an emergency siren based on detecting a particular type of event. In some examples, computer systems display different types and/or sizes of notifications based on an operating mode of a respective computer system. In some examples, computer systems forgo performing one or more operations when a respective computer system operates in a low power mode.
