For example, an integrated circuit structure includes a vertical stack of horizontal nanowires. A gate electrode is over the vertical stack of horizontal nanowires. A conductive trench contact is adjacent to the gate electrode. A dielectric sidewall spacer is between the gate electrode and the conductive trench contact. A first dielectric cut plug structure extends through the gate electrode, through the dielectric sidewall spacer, and through the conductive trench contact. A second dielectric cut plug structure extends through the gate electrode, through the dielectric sidewall spacer, and through the conductive trench contact, the second dielectric cut plug structure laterally spaced apart from and parallel with the first dielectric cut plug structure.

Abstract: Described herein are techniques and systems for onboarding a service from client-managed computing infrastructure to network computing infrastructure. As part of the onboarding, a database that stores onboarding information is accessed and a set of tasks is identified. A state diagram is generated based on the onboarding information. The techniques and systems are configured to calculate, within the state diagram, a task execution path that is associated with a highest probability of success for moving the client organization from a current environment associated with the client-managed computing infrastructure to a target environment associated with the network computing infrastructure. The task execution path can be used to identify and provide subsets of tasks as part of an autonomously guided onboarding process. The task execution path can be re-calculated based on a determination that an individual task has not been completed within an expected amount of time to complete the individual task.
