  • Patent number: 8120096
    Abstract: A power semiconductor device capable of transmitting gate signals in all directions (e.g., up-/down-ward/right-/left-ward) on a plane and a method of manufacturing the same. The power semiconductor device includes first conductive regions, formed to a predetermined depth in a surface of a conductive low concentration epitaxial layer. The first conductive regions include linear first conductive layers spaced from each other and linear second conductive layers spaced from each other. Second conductive regions are formed to a smaller width and depth than the first and second conductive layers to form channels in the first and second conductive layers. A gate oxide layer formed on a surface of the epitaxial layer defines first windows having a smaller width than the first conductive layers and second windows having a smaller width than the second conductive layers. A gate polysilicon layer is formed on the gate oxide layer.

  • Patent number: 7836232
    Abstract: Disclosed is a single wire communication system for communicating between integrated circuits. The single wire communication system comprises an upper control device generating control commands, a to-be-controlled chip operating with the control commands, and a single wire communication module transferring the control commands. The single wire communication module processes the control commands from the upper control device with the control commands separated into a start signal, a data signal, an end signal, and an ack signal, converts them to at least one or more bits of data bits, and the transfers them to the to-be-controlled chip. By doing so, the present invention can transfer the control commands from the upper control device to the to-be-controlled chip without any loss or distortion caused from unstable factors such as noises, and enables high speed process of a number of commands.

  • Patent number: 7030476
    Abstract: Disclosed is a rectifier diode device. The rectifier diode device includes a conductive base, a semiconductor chip, a conductive lead and insulation resin. A trench and a post are formed in the conductive base in order to increase a bonding surface between the conductive base and the insulating resin and to lengthen a humidity transfer path for the semiconductor chip. Due to the trench and the post, the bonding surface between the conductive base and the insulating resin increases and the humidity transfer path for the semiconductor chip lengthens, thereby improving heat emission performance of the rectifier diode device. A plurality of prismatic protrusions is formed at an outer peripheral wall of the conductive wire so that coupling force between the conductive wire and an external device is improved. A protrusion ring is provided at a lower surface of the conductive wire so that stress applied to the semiconductor chip is minimized when the rectifier diode device is press-fitted into the external device.
