  • Patent number: 10217810
    Abstract: The teachings of the present disclosure may be applied to the manufacture and design of capacitors. In some embodiments of these teachings, a capacitor may be formed on a heavily doped substrate. For example, a method for manufacturing a capacitor may include: depositing an oxide layer on a first side of a heavily doped substrate; depositing a first metal layer on the oxide layer; and depositing a second metal layer on a second side of the heavily doped substrate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 9, 2016
    Date of Patent: February 26, 2019
    Assignee: MICROCHIP TECHNOLOGY INCORPORATED
    Inventors: Greg Dix, Randy Yach, Francesco Mazzilli

  • Patent number: 9509321
    Abstract: A clock oscillator includes a high speed oscillator generating a high speed clock signal and comprising a digital trimming function; a counter receiving said high speed clock signal at a clock input; a time base having a low drift and controlling said counter, wherein the counter generates a difference between a reference value and a counter value; and a digital integrator receiving said difference value and providing trimming data for said high speed oscillator.
