  • Publication number: 20030193917
    Abstract: A method for assigning a channel in multi-FA CDMA mobile communication system according to the received power prevents communication quality of a FA from being inferior to that of the others by managing the interference level of the FA. The method. comprises the steps of: comparing a first threshold value with received power when the base station receives a new call request; assigning a traffic channel in a first FA of the request, if the received power is less than the first threshold value, and searching a second FA of which received power is least, if not; comparing a second threshold value with the received power of the second FA; and assigning a traffic channel in the second FA if the received power is less than the second threshold value, and rejecting the request, if not.

  • Patent number: 6620668
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a MOS transistor having shallow source/drain junction regions is provided. A diffusion source layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate on which gate patterns are formed. Same type or different type of impurities are implanted into the diffusion source layer several times in different directions. As a result, dislocation does not occur and the impurity concentration of the diffusion source layer can be nonuniformly controlled so that damage to the crystal structure of the semiconductor substrate does not occur. Also, the impurities nonuniformly contained in the diffusion source layer are diffused into the semiconductor substrate by a solid phase diffusion method to form shallow source/drain junction regions having LDD regions and highly doped source/drain regions by a self-alignment method.

  • Publication number: 20030082922
    Abstract: A method of fabricating an integrated circuit having shallow junctions is provided. A SOG layer containing impurities is formed on a semiconductor substrate. Impurity ions are additionally implanted into the SOG layer by a plasma ion implantation method to increase the concentration of impurities in the SOG layer. The impurity ions contained in the SOG layer having the increased concentration of impurities are rapidly heat-treated and diffused into the semiconductor substrate by a solid phase diffusion method to form shallow junctions. As a result, the concentration of impurities is precisely controlled by the plasma ion implantation method, and impurity ions are not directly implanted into the semiconductor substrate. Thus, the crystal structure of the semiconductor substrate is not damaged.

  • Patent number: 5880484
    Abstract: A lateral resonant tunneling transistor having two non-symmetric quantum dots is disclosed. When a negative voltage is supplied to each plurality of thin split gates, two non-symmetric quantum dots are formed owing to the formation of the potential barrier. Thus when a forward bias voltage is applied, the resonant tunneling phenomena occur twice successively. Through these two successive resonant tunneling phenomena and by lowering the height of the third potential barrier 6a, the resonant tunneling current can be maximized.

  • Patent number: 5872372
    Abstract: A thin film transistor is disclosed comprising a piezoelectric film formed on a piezoresistive body of an ultra thin film and a gate electrode formed on the piezoelectric film. Due to the force generated from the piezoelectric film by an electric field generated according to the strength of a voltage applied to the gate electrode, a pressure is applied on the piezoresistive body to vary the resistance of the piezoresistive body. Thus, the quantity of current that flows from a source terminal through the piezoresistive channel to a drain terminal can be controlled. Since the piezoresistive body can be formed on a plane, a thin film transistor with a three-dimensional structure can be manufactured.
