  • Gas sensor packages
    Patent number: 10730743
    Abstract: A gas sensor package is disclosed. The gas sensor package can include a housing defining a first chamber and a second chamber. An electrolyte can be provided in the first chamber. A gas inlet can provide fluid communication between the second chamber and the outside environs. The gas inlet can be configured to permit gas to enter the second chamber from the outside environs. An integrated device die can be mounted to the housing. The integrated device die can comprise a sensing element configured to detect the gas. The integrated device die can have a first side exposed to the first chamber and a second side exposed to the second chamber, with the first side opposite the second side.
    Type: Grant

  • Transistor
    Patent number: 9362356
    Abstract: A transistor is provided in which an elongate drain region has end portions formed in parts of the transistor where features of the transistor structure have been modified or omitted. These structures lessen the current flow or electric field gradients at the end portions of the drain. This provides a transistor that has improved on-state breakdown performance without sacrificing off state breakdown performance.
