Publication number: 20240332392Abstract: Approaches for fabricating an integrated circuit structure including a titanium silicide material, and the resulting structures, are described. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a semiconductor fin above a substrate, a gate electrode over the top and adjacent to the sidewalls of a portion of the semiconductor fin. A titanium silicide material is in direct contact with each of first and second epitaxial semiconductor source or drain structures at first and second sides of the gate electrode. The titanium silicide material is conformal with and hermetically sealing a non-flat topography of each of the first and second epitaxial semiconductor source or drain structures. The titanium silicide material has a total atomic composition including 95% or greater stoichiometric TiSi2.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2024Publication date: October 3, 2024Inventors: Dan S.

Publication number: 20190205703Abstract: Performance of a computer implementing a machine learning system is improved by providing, via a graphical user interface, to an annotator, unlabeled corpus data to be labeled; obtaining, via the interface, labels for the unlabeled corpus data; and detecting, with a consistency calculation routine, concurrent with the labeling, internal inconsistency and/or external inconsistency in the labeling. Responsive to the detection, intervene in the labeling with a reactive intervention subsystem until the inconsistency is addressed. The labeling is completed subsequent to the intervention; the system is trained to provide a trained machine learning system, based on results of the completed labeling; and classification of new data is carried out with the trained system. Proactive intervention schemes are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2017Publication date: July 4, 2019Inventors: Evelyn Duesterwald, Austin Zachary Henley, David John Piorkowski, John T.

Patent number: 9483573Abstract: In a method for generating an audio summary of a portion of an electronic document, a user input selecting a focus position within a rendered electronic document is received. The plurality of document elements included in the rendered electronic document is identified. A plurality of audio objects corresponding to the plurality of document elements is generated. An audio signal is generated. The audio signal includes a subset of the plurality of audio objects corresponding to a subset of the plurality of document elements contained within a predetermined range from the focus position. The audio signal indicates the spatial relation between the elements of the elements subset. The audio signal is rendered to the user.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2012Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Rachel K. E.

Patent number: 9244889Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for generating a shape tag cloud display. A user input is received that specifies an arbitrarily hand-drawn shape tag. A set of shape tag equivalence classes is updated based on the received user input to assign the arbitrarily hand-drawn shape tag to a shape tag equivalence class having similar previously entered arbitrarily hand-drawn shape tags. Rankings of the shape tags relative to one another are generated. The shape tag cloud display is generated based on the rankings. A representation of each shape tag within the shape tag cloud display has display characteristics based on the rankings. The shape tag cloud display is then output.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2013Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Rachel K. E.
