  • Patent number: 11948971
    Abstract: A method includes forming isolations extending into a semiconductor substrate, recessing the isolation regions, wherein a semiconductor region between the isolation regions forms a semiconductor fin, forming a first dielectric layer on the isolation regions and the semiconductor fin, forming a second dielectric layer over the first dielectric layer, planarizing the second dielectric layer and the first dielectric layer, and recessing the first dielectric layer. A portion of the second dielectric layer protrudes higher than remaining portions of the first dielectric layer to form a protruding dielectric fin. A portion of the semiconductor fin protrudes higher than the remaining portions of the first dielectric layer to form a protruding semiconductor fin. A portion of the protruding semiconductor fin is recessed to form a recess, from which an epitaxy semiconductor region is grown. The epitaxy semiconductor region expands laterally to contact a sidewall of the protruding dielectric fin.

  • Patent number: 11914600
    Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for generating multiple semantic hypotheses for search query intent understanding. In aspects, a search query may be received by a query analysis component associated with a search system. The query analysis component may be used to evaluate the search query for ambiguity in the domain, intent, and/or slot(s) of the search query. A set of hypotheses representing for one or more combinations of the domain, intent, and/or slot(s) of the search query may be generated. The set of hypotheses may be scored and/or ranked. Based on the scores/ranks, one or more of the hypotheses in the set of hypotheses may be provided to a user and/or one or more processing components accessible to the search system.
