  • Publication number: 20230360926
    Abstract: A method for processing an integrated circuit includes forming a plurality of transistors. The method utilizes a reversed tone patterning process to selectively drive dipoles into the gate dielectric layers of some of the transistors while preventing dipoles from entering the gate dielectric layers of other transistors. This process can be repeated to produce a plurality of transistors each having different threshold voltages.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for dynamically managing resources when submitting bids for advertising content opportunities. The system may determine whether a bid request is likely to be accepted or rejected, or whether an impression event associated with an impression from a bid associated with the bid request is delayed by a time duration. The system may determine, based on information associated with a bid request, a plurality of features associated with the bid request. Each feature of the plurality of features may be associated with one or more distributions indicating a percentage likelihood that the that the impression from the bid associated with the bid request is delayed by the time duration, or whether a bid is likely to be rejected or accepted. The selected features may be based on the impact the features have on indicating whether a bid is likely to be accepted or rejected or result in a delayed impression.
