Patent number: 6707339Abstract: An operational amplifier circuit (10) uses a first operational amplifier (16) to selectively provide a boosted drive current in response to an input signal voltage transitioning. The boosted driver current is used by a second operational amplifier (22) having a single high gain stage (76). The output drive current of the operational amplifier circuit (10) is increased to a predetermined maximum value for a predetermined time after an input signal transition in order to source increased current to a capacitive or inductive load only during output signal transitions. Separate current boost circuits (30, 70) in each of the first and second operational amplifiers enable early signal transition detection and ensure continuation of increased current until completion of the signal transition.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2002Date of Patent: March 16, 2004Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Kiyoshi Kase, Joseph Y. Chan, Chunhe Zhao

Patent number: 5882986Abstract: Starting with a semiconductor wafer of known type including an internal, planar p-n junction parallel to major surfaces of the wafer, one of the wafer surfaces is covered with a masking layer of silicon nitride. A plurality of intersecting grooves are then sawed through the masking layer for forming a plurality of mesas having sloped walls with each mesa including a portion of the planar p-n junction having edges which intersect and are exposed by the mesa walls. The groove walls and exposed junction edges are glass encapsulated in a process including heating the wafer. The masking layers are then removed in a selective etching process not requiring a patterned etchant mask, and the now exposed silicon surfaces at the top of the mesas, as well as the opposite surface of the wafer, are metal plated. The wafer is then diced along planes through the grooves for providing individual chips each having a glass passivated mesa thereon.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 1998Date of Patent: March 16, 1999Assignee: General Semiconductor, Inc.Inventors: Jack Eng, Joseph Y.

Patent number: 5546047Abstract: An operational amplifier (10) having an inverted output (20) ranging from a return voltage up to a rail supply voltage includes an amplifying stage (12) and: a linear output inverter (14). The linear output inverter (14) includes an inverting pull down stage (16), an output stage controller (17), and a pull up output stage (18). The inverting pull down stage (16) operates to pull the inverted output down to the return voltage when the inverted output is below a first threshold. The pull up output stage (18) operates to pull the inverted output up to the rail voltage when the inverted output (20) is above a second threshold. The first threshold is greater than the second threshold such that both the inverting pull down stage (16) and the pull up output stage (18) operate when the inverted output (20) lies between the first threshold and the second threshold.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 1995Date of Patent: August 13, 1996Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Y. Chan, Mathew A. Rybicki

Patent number: 5360509Abstract: Significant reductions in the cost of fabrication of epitaxial semiconductor devices without sacrifice of functional characteristics is achieved by eliminating the conventional but costly polishing procedure, instead subjecting the substrate to grinding, cleaning and etching processes in which the grinding removes material from the surface to a depth of at least 65 microns and the etching further removes material to a depth of about 6-10 microns, the grinding preferably being carried out in two steps, the first being a coarse step and the second being a fine step, with the rotated grinding elements dwelling at their respective last grinding positions for a short period of time. The result is the equivalent of the prior art polishing procedure which took considerably longer to carry out and which therefore was much more costly.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 1993Date of Patent: November 1, 1994Assignee: GI CorporationInventors: Gregory Zakaluk, Dennis Garbis, Joseph Y. Chan, John Latza, Lawrence LaTerza

Patent number: 5298457Abstract: The all epitaxial process starts with a high resistivity silicon substrate. Alternating layers of silicon and silicon-germanium are epitaxially grown on the substrate under conditions which create a region with misfit dislocations. A low resistivity silicon layer is then grown over the region. The material is inverted such that the high resistivity layer can be used to form the base of the device. The thickness of the high resistivity layer is adjusted to equal the width of the base of the semiconductor device to be fabricated.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 1993Date of Patent: March 29, 1994Assignee: G. I. CorporationInventors: William G. Einthoven, Joseph Y. Chan, Dennis Garbis
