  • Publication number: 20240266441
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for use in improving gate oxide reliability of semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) metal-oxide-silicon field effect transistor (MOSFET) devices using accumulated charge control (ACC) techniques. The method and apparatus are adapted to remove, reduce, or otherwise control accumulated charge in SOI MOSFETs, thereby yielding improvements in FET performance characteristics. In one embodiment, a circuit includes a MOSFET, operating in an accumulated charge regime, and means for controlling the accumulated charge. Determinations are made of effects of an uncontrolled accumulated charge and a controlled accumulated charge on time dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) of the gate oxide. The SOI MOSFET is adapted to have a selected average time-to-breakdown, responsive to the determinations, and the circuit is operated using techniques for ACC operatively coupled to the SOI MOSFET.

  • Publication number: 20230139845
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a power swivel device for a vehicle seat where a brake unit is installed between a fixed plate mounted to a seat rail and a rotating plate mounted to a seat. The brake unit delivers rotational force of the motor to the rotating plate when the motor is operated and constrains a flow in a rotational direction of the rotating plate when the motor is stopped. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent a flow of a seat in a rotational direction due to gear backlash.
