  • Radio frequency integrated circuit with on-chip noise source for self-test
    Patent number: 8421478
    Abstract: Radio frequency integrated circuits with on-chip noise source for use in the performance of tests and/or calibrations. A radio frequency integrated circuit includes at least one noise source residing on the radio frequency integrated circuit, the noise source being controllable by a digital input, and a radio frequency circuit residing on the radio frequency integrated circuit and being coupled to the noise source, wherein at least one attribute of the radio frequency circuit is determinable by controlling the noise source via the digital input.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 25, 2008
    Date of Patent: April 16, 2013
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: Brian Allan Floyd, David Ross Greenberg, Ramana Murty Malladi, Bradley Alan Orner, Scott Kevin Reynolds

  • Lateral silicided diodes
    Patent number: 7381997
    Abstract: A structure and method of fabricating lateral diodes. The diodes include Schottky diodes and PIN diodes. The method of fabrication includes forming one or more doped regions and more trenches in a silicon substrate and forming metal silicides on the sidewalls of the trenches. The fabrication of lateral diodes may be integrated with the fabrication of field effect, bipolar and SiGe bipolar transistors.
