    Inventors: Thomas Edward Dungan, Philip Gene Nikkel
  • Airdome enclosure for components
    Patent number: 7554166
    Abstract: A component having an airdome enclosure that protects the component from its external environment. An airdome enclosure according to the present techniques avoids the high costs of employing special materials and/or specialized process steps in the manufacture of a component. An electronic component according to the present techniques includes a set of substructures formed on a substrate and an airdome enclosure over the substructures that protects the substructures and that hinders the formation of parasitic capacitances among the substructures.

  • Body contact structure and method for the reduction of drain lag and gate lag in field effect transistors
    Publication number: 20080054300
    Abstract: A field effect transistor is formed on a substrate and includes a semiconductor channel region formed over the substrate and a metallic source region formed on the channel region. A metallic drain region is formed on the channel region and a metallic gate region formed on the channel region between the source and drain regions. A first metallic body contact region is formed adjacent the drain region and extending through the channel region to contact the substrate. The field effect transistor may further include a second metallic body contact region formed adjacent the source region and extending through the channel region to contact the substrate.
