International Classification:

H01L 21/302

US Classification:

438725, 438706, 438717, 216 81

Abstract:

Etching of carbonaceous layers with an etchant gas mixture including molecular oxygen (O) and a gas including a carbon sulfur terminal ligand. A high RF frequency source is employed in certain embodiments to achieve a high etch rate with high selectivity to inorganic dielectric layers. In certain embodiments, the etchant gas mixture includes only the two components, COS and O, but in other embodiments additional gases, such as at least one of molecular nitrogen (N), carbon monoxide (CO) or carbon dioxide (CO) may be further employed to etch to carbonaceous layers.

Abstract:

Systems and methods to generate modified/refined user inputs based on the original user input, such as a search query, are disclosed. The method may be implemented for Roman-based and/or non-Roman based language such as Chinese. The method may generally include receiving an original user input and identifying core terms therein, determining potential alternative inputs by replacing core term(s) in the original input with another term according to a similarity matrix and/or substituting a word sequence in the original input with another word sequence according to an expansion/contraction table where one word sequence is a substring of the other, computing likelihood of each potential alternative input, and selecting most likely alternative inputs according to a predetermined criteria, e. g. , likelihood of the alternative input being at least that of the original input. A cache containing pre-computed original user inputs and corresponding alternative inputs may be provided.

Abstract:

Attributes of new account information and advertising campaigns for advertisers are evaluated by a fraud detection engine of a fraud system and a fraud score is augmented where fraud is suspected. The fraud detection engine evaluates the attributes of the advertising campaign, including attributes such as bid amount, maximum cost per day, average bid, and keyword selection.
