  • Semiconductor component mounted by brazing
    Patent number: 5796123
    Abstract: A mesa-type semiconductor component including on at least one of its surfaces, in addition to a circumferential ring constituted by a portion of a passivating glass layer, at least one pad constituted by a portion of this layer and acting as a spacer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 25, 1996
    Date of Patent: August 18, 1998
    Assignee: SGS-Thomson Microelectronics S.A.
    Inventor: Jean-Claude Salbreux
  • Bidirectional shockley diode having overlapping emitter regions
    Patent number: 5581095
    Abstract: A bidirectional Shockley diode includes an N-type layer sandwiched between two P-type layers. A first N-type region in the P-type region extends over substantially one half of the upper surface. A second N-type region extends in the P-type layer substantially over one half of the lower surface. Each first and second region protrudes with respect to the median plane of the component by a length r such that ratio r/e is smaller than 0.5, e being the thickness of the component.
    Type: Grant

  • Bidirectional Shockley diode
    Patent number: 5569609
    Abstract: A bidirectional Shockley diode includes an N-type layer sandwiched between two P-type layers. A first N-type region in the P-type region extends over substantially one half of the upper surface. A second N-type region extends in the P-type layer substantially over one complementary half of the surface of the lower surface. Each first and second region protrudes with respect to the median plane of the component by a length r such that ratio r/e is smaller than 0.5, e being the thickness of the component.
