  • Patent number: 6707339
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 6351020
    Abstract: A cumulative capacitor structure with desirably constant capacitance characteristics is disclosed. In one embodiment, the cumulative capacitor includes a set of four capacitors coupled in parallel between first and second terminals of the cumulative capacitor. In one embodiment, the first capacitor is comprised of a top plate formed of an n-type polysilicon coupled to the first terminal, a bottom plate comprised of a first accumulation/depletion region such as an n-well region coupled to the second terminal, and a first dielectric region between its top and bottom plates. The second capacitor has an n-type polysilicon terminal top plate coupled to the second terminal, an accumulation/depletion region bottom plate coupled to the first terminal, and a dielectric between its top and bottom plate.

  • Patent number: 5882986
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 5546047
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 5360509
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 5342805
    Abstract: This invention concerns itself with an improved method of producing sharply defined misfit dislocations; (MD) with a new, inexpensive method of doping these misfit dislocations with Au; with invention that a combination of Au and Pt doping in misfit dislocations is superior to any amount of Au and to some specific placements of the misfit dislocations in the device structure.

  • Patent number: 5298457
    Abstract: 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.
