A method is described for selectively treating the properties of a gate dielectric near corners of the gate without altering the gate dielectric in a center region of a gate channel. The method includes providing a structure having a gate opening and depositing a layer of dielectric with a high dielectric constant on a bottom surface and side walls of the gate opening. The corner regions of the high dielectric constant layer formed adjacent to the bottom surface and the side walls of the gate opening are selectively treated without altering the center region of the high dielectric constant layer formed at the bottom surface of the gate opening.

A system includes a memory and a processing module. The memory includes a primary sensing vector and N alternate sensing vectors. The processing module determines a ranking value for each of the N alternate sensing vectors. Each ranking value is indicative of the integrity of a cardiac electrical signal acquired via the corresponding alternate sensing vector. The processing module senses cardiac events using the primary sensing vector, detects a reduction in the integrity of a cardiac electrical signal acquired via the primary sensing vector, and selects one of the N alternate sensing vectors in response to detecting a reduction in the integrity of the cardiac electrical signal acquired via the primary sensing vector. The selection is based on the ranking value associated with the one of the N alternate sensing vectors. The processing module then senses cardiac events using the selected one of the N alternate sensing vectors.
