  • Publication number: 20070228514
    Abstract: The electronic device comprises a network of at least one thin-film capacitor and at least one inductor on a first side of a substrate of a semiconductor material. The substrate has a resistivity sufficiently high to limit electrical losses of the inductor and being provided with an electrically insulating surface layer on its first side. A first and a second lateral pin diode are defined in the substrate, each of the pin diodes having a doped p-region, a doped n-region and an intermediate intrinsic region. The intrinsic region of the first pin diode is larger than that of the second pin diode.

  • Publication number: 20070018748
    Abstract: The electronic device (100) of the invention comprises a semiconductor device (30) and a low-pass filter (20), which are present in a stacked configuration, and which together include a phase locked loop. The low-pass filter is preferably embodied by vertical trench capacitors, and preferably comprises a drift compensation part. The device (100) can be suitably provided in an open loop architecture. In a preferred embodiment, the low-pass filter comprises a large capacitor (C2) and a small capacitor (C1) connected in parallel, the large capacitor (C2) being connected in series with a resistor (R1).
