Patents by Inventor Glenn Workman

Glenn Workman has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11749671
    Abstract: The disclosure provides integrated circuit (IC) structures and methods to form the same. Methods according to the disclosure may be performed on a substrate having a first doping type, the substrate extending between a first end and a second end. A deep well is formed within the substrate, the deep well including a well boundary defined between the deep well and a remainder of the substrate. The well boundary is horizontally distal to a midpoint between the first end and the second end of the substrate. A first active semiconductor region is formed at least partially over the substrate, and an oppositely-doped second active semiconductor region is formed at least partially over the deep well.

  • Publication number: 20050127442
    Abstract: A method for forming a silicon-on-insulator transistor (80) includes forming an active region (82) overlying an insulating layer (122), wherein a portion of the active region provides an intrinsic body region (126). A body tie access region (128) is also formed within the active region, overlying the insulating layer and laterally disposed adjacent the intrinsic body region, making electrical contact to the intrinsic body region. A gate electrode (134) is formed overlying the intrinsic body region for providing electrical control of the intrinsic body region, the gate electrode extending over a portion (137) of the body tie access region. The gate electrode is formed having a substantially constant gate length (88) along its entire width overlying the intrinsic body region and the body tie access region to minimize parasitic capacitance and gate electrode leakage. First and second current electrodes (98,100) are formed adjacent opposite sides of the intrinsic body region.
