Abstract: Method for fabricating MOSFET integrated with Schottky diode (MOSFET/SKY) is disclosed. Gate trench is formed in an epitaxial layer overlaying semiconductor substrate, gate material is deposited therein. Body, source, dielectric regions are successively formed upon epitaxial layer and the gate trench. Top contact trench (TCT) is etched with vertical side walls defining Schottky diode cross-sectional width SDCW through dielectric and source region defining source-contact depth (SCD); and partially into body region by total body-contact depth (TBCD). A heavily-doped embedded body implant region (EBIR) of body-contact depth (BCD)<TBCD is created into side walls of TCT and beneath SCD. An embedded Shannon implant region (ESIR) is created into sub-contact trench zone (SCTZ) beneath TCT floor. A metal layer is formed in contact with ESIR, body and source region. The metal layer also fills TCT and covers dielectric region thus completing the MOSFET/SKY with only one-time etching of its TCT.

Abstract: The present invention describes a RF signal control method and device that adjusts the first down-converter gain attenuation and uses the adjusted first down-converter gain attenuation to change the RF signal. The RF signal control method and device also uses a determined linear filter parameter to perform linearity improvement on the digital signal after the RF signal goes through a down-converter and analog-to-digital converter. The RF signal control method and device use an increased up-converter gain attenuation value to correct the RF input signal after digital pre-distortion operation, so that the adjusted and/or improved signals after power amplification have better quality than the RF signal with just a simple analog-to-digital converter and clipping equipment. Thus, the current application improves the linearity effect of digital pre-distortion operation and the dynamic effect of the power amplifier operation, thereby promoting the coverage effect of the RF output signal.
