Patent number: 8467428Abstract: The present invention relates to a vertical cavity surface emitting laser device comprising a VCSEL with a monolithically integrated photodiode. The photodiode (2) is formed of a layer sequence of a first n-doped region (6), a p-doped region (7), an intrinsic region (8) and a second n-doped region (9) of a semiconductor material. The photodiode (2) and the laser share a common electrode, which is realized as an Ohmic n-contact (10) at said first n-doped region (6). The proposed device allows less complex manufacturing, resulting in lower manufacturing costs.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2009Date of Patent: June 18, 2013Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Philipp Henning Gerlach, Roger King, Marcel Franz Christian Schemmann

Patent number: 8166442Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a Local Preferred Direction (LPD) wiring model for use with one or more EDA tools (such as placing, routing, etc). An LPD wiring model allows at least one wiring layer to have a set of regions that each have a different preferred direction than the particular wiring layer. In addition, each region has a local preferred direction that differs from the local preferred direction of at least one other region in the set. Furthermore, at least two regions have two different polygonal shapes and no region in the set encompasses another region in the set. Some embodiments also provide a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that facilitates a visual presentation of an LPD design layout and provides tools to create and manipulate LPD regions in a design layout.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2008Date of Patent: April 24, 2012Assignee: Cadence Design Systems, Inc.Inventors: Asmus Hetzel, Anish Malhotra, Akira Fujimura, Etienne Jacques, Jon Frankle, David S.
