Abstract: A display driver semiconductor device includes a high voltage well region being formed on a substrate, a first semiconductor device, a second semiconductor device, and a third semiconductor device. The first semiconductor device is formed on the high voltage well region and includes a first gate insulating layer. The second semiconductor device is formed adjacent to the first semiconductor device and includes a second gate insulating layer. The third semiconductor device is formed adjacent to the second semiconductor device and includes a third gate insulating layer. The first insulating layer may be formed using a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process and the second insulating layer is formed using a thermal oxide process.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a first transistor, a second transistor, and a third transistor. The first transistor includes a first gate insulator, a first source region and a first drain region, a pair of lightly doped drain (LDD) regions that are each shallower than the first source region and the first drain region, and a first gate electrode. The second transistor includes a second gate insulator, a second source region and a second drain region, a pair of drift regions that encompass the second source region and the second drain region respectively, and a second gate electrode, and the third transistor comprises a third gate insulator, a third source region and a third drain region, and a pair of drift regions that encompass the third source and the third drain regions respectively, and a third gate electrode. The second gate insulator is thinner than the other gate insulators.

Abstract: A method of making a bearing includes providing a bearing intermediate, which is unfinished while having an overall shape of a finished bearing product; and repeatedly impacting a surface of the bearing intermediate at one or more ultrasonic frequencies to modify characteristics of the bearing intermediate. The resulting bearing intermediate or finished bearing product includes nano-size grains at or underneath the surface.
