  • Patent number: 10897198
    Abstract: A voltage conversion apparatus includes a power supply circuit with a first switch, a voltage conversion circuit, and a protective circuit with a detection circuit. The first switch transmits a power to generate an input voltage. The voltage conversion circuit generates a first voltage. A second switch of the voltage conversion circuit receives the input voltage. A third switch of the voltage conversion circuit is coupled between the second switch and a ground terminal. The detection circuit generates a first control signal based on the first voltage, a second voltage that corresponds to the first voltage, and a reference voltage. When a voltage value of an error signal is less than the reference voltage, the detection circuit outputs the first control signal to turn off the first switch. The voltage value of the error signal corresponds to a voltage difference between the first voltage and the second voltage.

  • Publication number: 20200411673
    Abstract: A simplified method for forming pairs of non-volatile memory cells using two polysilicon depositions. A first polysilicon layer is formed on and insulated from the semiconductor substrate in a first polysilicon deposition process. A pair of spaced apart insulation blocks are formed on the first polysilicon layer. Exposed portions of the first poly silicon layer are removed while maintaining a pair of polysilicon blocks of the first polysilicon layer each disposed under one of the pair of insulation blocks. A second polysilicon layer is formed over the substrate and the pair of insulation blocks in a second polysilicon deposition process. Portions of the second polysilicon layer are removed while maintaining a first polysilicon block (disposed between the pair of insulation blocks), a second polysilicon block (disposed adjacent an outer side of one insulation block), and a third polysilicon block (disposed adjacent an outer side of the other insulation block).

  • Publication number: 20200395370
    Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor device where memory cells and some logic devices are formed on bulk silicon while other logic devices are formed on a thin silicon layer over insulation over the bulk silicon of the same substrate. The memory cell stacks, select gate poly, and source regions for the memory devices are formed in the memory area before the logic devices are formed in the logic areas. The various oxide, nitride and poly layers used to form the gate stacks in the memory area are formed in the logic areas as well. Only after the memory cell stacks and select gate poly are formed, and the memory area protected by one or more protective layers, are the oxide, nitride and poly layers used to form the memory cell stacks removed from the logic areas, and the logic devices are then formed.
