  • Patent number: 8796117
    Abstract: A structure of high electron mobility transistor growth on Si substrate and the method thereof, in particular used for the semiconductor device manufacturing in the semiconductor industry. The UHVCVD system was used in the related invention to grow a Ge film on Si substrate then grow the high electron mobility transistor on the Ge film for the reduction of buffer layer thickness and cost. The function of the Ge film is preventing the formation of silicon oxide when growing III-V MHEMT structure in MOCVD system on Si substrate. The reason of using MHEMT in the invention is that the metamorphic buffer layer in MHEMT structure could block the penetration of dislocation which is formed because of the very large lattice mismatch (4.2%) between Ge and Si substrate.

  • Patent number: 8581638
    Abstract: The present invention provides a high-side driver circuit including a power transistor, the first transistor, the second transistor, the second capacitor, the second diode, a start-up circuit. The start-up circuit is coupled between a resistor and the second capacitor to complete a gate driving circuit. And, the aforementioned resistor can either be the gate resistance of the power transistor or an external resistor. The design of start-up circuit enables the functionality of the bootstrap capacitor of being charged to a designate voltage level. Thus, the depletion-mode transistor can be controlled to turn on/off without a floating voltage source or a negative voltage source.

  • Patent number: 8547712
    Abstract: A power circuit is applicable to a Direct Current (DC) to DC converter. The power circuit includes a gate driver circuit and a High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT). The gate driver circuit functions as a Sigmoid (S) function and controls a gate and a source of the HEMT with a cross voltage of the sigmoid (S) type function. Accordingly, an overall characteristic curve of the HEMT and the gate driver circuit is like a characteristic curve of a single rectifier diode, so as to achieve a rectifying, freewheeling, or reversing effect. In addition, since an energy loss is low when the HEMT is conducted, the energy loss of the whole power circuit is much less than that of a conventional diode.

    Abstract: A method for forming a T-shaped gate is provided. The method includes providing a substrate. Then, a photoresist structure is formed over the substrate. The photoresist structure includes two development rates. Next, a mask with an opening is formed over the photoresist structure to pattern the photoresist structure. An angle exposure is applied to the photoresist structure, and the exposed photoresist structure is developed to form a T-shaped notch. A width of the T-shaped notch is gradually reduced from a top portion thereof to a bottom portion to expose a surface of the substrate. Then, a gate metal is deposited in the T-shaped notch. Thereafter, the patterned photoresist structure is removed to form the T-shaped gate.
