Patent number: 6359309Abstract: A MOSFET and IGBT are described that exhibit high breakdown voltage together with low on-resistance. This is achieved by providing an N type shunt that extends from the N+ drain (for power MOSFETs) or P+ emitter (for IGBTs), through the N− region to a short distance below the gate oxide. To manufacture such a shunt, an epi wafer with N−epitaxy is first provided on top of an N+ (for power MOSFET) or P+ (for IGBT) layer. Through a suitable mask (contact or freestanding) on the top surface, the wafer is then subjected to bombardment by protons or deuterons. Because of ion transmutation doping, a region of N type material forms wherever the surface is not masked. By controlling the energies of the ions, this region is caused to extend below the wafer's surface so as to just contact the N+ or P+ layer or even to go through it.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2000Date of Patent: March 19, 2002Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Chungpin Liao, Dar-Chang Juang

Patent number: 6097256Abstract: A CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) high-frequency ring oscillator is provided for generating an output frequency in response to a control voltage in a wide bandwidth. The ring oscillator is of the type including a plurality of cascaded delay circuits, such as CMOS CSL (common-sense logic) inverters. The ring oscillator is characterized by the additional incorporation of each of the CMOS CSL inverters with either a positive-feedback gate structure or a positive-feedback drain structure so as to improve the output-to-output characteristics of the ring oscillator. More specifically, the ring oscillator is still operable to output an oscillating signal even though the control voltage is reduced to below a certain level, at which point the gain is still larger than 1. The ring oscillator is therefore more advantageous than the prior art both in gain and output-to-output characteristics and is operable over a wide variety of output frequencies, particularly in the low-frequency regions.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 1999Date of Patent: August 1, 2000Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Dar-Chang Juang, De-Sheng Chen

Patent number: 5917378Abstract: A rail-to-rail type of operational amplifier is provided, which has a low offset voltage and improved bandwidth, slew rate, and phase margin. This operational amplifier includes two level-shifting input circuits for receiving two input voltages. The input voltages are further divided into four subvoltages which are then processed by a pair of differential amplifiers. The output differential currents from the differential amplifiers are further processed respectively by two current-summing circuits. The potential difference between the outputs of these two current-summing circuits is then fed to a bias circuit which, in response to the input potential difference, generates a floating bias. An output circuit takes the floating bias as input to thereby generate an output voltage which is regarded as the output of the operational amplifier.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 1997Date of Patent: June 29, 1999Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventor: Dar-Chang Juang

Patent number: 5191606Abstract: An electrical telephone speech network is disclosed in which the transmitting and the receiving amplifiers are serially connected so as to reduce the minimum working current of the whole speech network. As a result, a telephone set in the network can operate properly with a much lower line current, and more extension telephones can be connected parallelly with the speech network. Further, a bias switching circuit is matched with the speech network. Thus, in pulse dialing mode, the line voltage drop of the network loop during "make" status is automatically decreased so that a pulse dialing signal received by the exchange can be more accurate. At the same time, in DTMF dialing mode, the voltage drop of the telephone set is automatically increased, for the purpose of providing a larger AC signal dynamic range to enable a telephone set to deliver a large DTMF signal and operate with a lower line current.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 1990Date of Patent: March 2, 1993Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventor: Dar-Chang Juang
