Abstract: Methods for forming a semiconductor device structure are described. The method includes forming first and second fin structures over a substrate and forming a dielectric wall between the first and second fin structures. The forming the dielectric wall includes depositing a first dielectric layer between the first and second fin structures, and a seam is formed in the first dielectric layer. The forming the dielectric wall further includes performing an anisotropic etch process to remove a portion of the first dielectric layer to expose the seam, performing an isotropic etch process to enlarge an opening of the seam, and the seam has a “V” shaped cross-sectional profile. The forming the dielectric wall further includes depositing a second dielectric layer between the first and second fin structures, and the seam is filled. The method further includes forming shallow trench isolation regions adjacent the first and second fin structures.

Preferably, a top surface of the first metal interconnection is even with a top surface of the IMD layer and the cap layer is made of conductive material.

Abstract: An information handling system keyboard illuminates key values in each of plural keycaps with a backlight located below the plural keys and directed upward through the plural keys and having illumination that adjusts color temperature under management of a controller. A light sensor detects ambient light color temperature and communicates the ambient light color temperature to the controller, which executes instructions in non-transitory memory to adjust the backlight color illumination based on the detected ambient light color temperature to increase color contrast of backlight illumination relative to ambient light and thereby better highlight the key values on the keycap upper surfaces.

Abstract: A slot-type game and a gaming machine configured to present a slot-type game include a symbol replacement feature. A first set of game symbols is displayed. If a replacement symbol triggering event occurs, such as the appearance of at least one replacement symbol, the symbol replacement is triggered. At least two symbols of the first set of symbols, such as two symbols adjacent to the replacement symbol, are evaluated to determine a highest ranking and a lowest ranking symbol. A second set of symbols is then displayed, the second set of symbols comprising the first set of symbols with occurrences of the lowest ranking symbol replaced with the highest ranking symbol.
