  • CMOS varactor with increased tuning range
    Patent number: 11264517
    Abstract: A varactor is described that may be constructed in CMOS and has a high tuning range. In some embodiments, the varactor includes a well, a plurality of gates formed over the well and having a capacitive connection to the well, the gates comprising a first subset of the gates that are adjacent and consecutive and coupled to a positive pole of an excitation oscillation signal, and a second subset of the gates that are adjacent and consecutive and coupled to a negative pole of the excitation oscillation signal, and a plurality of source/drain terminals formed over the well and having an ohmic connection to the well, each coupled to a respective gate to receive a control voltage to control the capacitance of the varactor.
    Type: Grant

  • Method for operating a laser scanning confocal microscope system and a system thereof
    Patent number: 6956647
    Abstract: A method for operating a confocal microscope system includes deflecting a light beam on a specimen with at least one beam deflection device. The position of the light beam is stepped with at least one beam deflection device across the specimen. A sample of emitted fluorescent light from the specimen is captured in synchronization with each of the stepped positions of the light beam. An image is obtained from the captured samples of emitted fluorescent light.
