  • Publication number: 20090033439
    Abstract: A multilayer filter wherein the capacitances of capacitors are reduced to reduce the size of the filter without substantially affecting the filter frequency characteristics. A predetermined filter circuit includes plural electrodes in a dielectric ceramic device body. Each of the capacitors is respectively disposed at input and output ends of the filter circuit and has one end connected to one of input/output terminals. Winding-type inductors, interposed between the input/output terminals and the one ends of the capacitors, are in the device body.

  • Patent number: 6686251
    Abstract: A method for forming a self-aligned bipolar transistor includes the steps of combination etching a silicon substrate in an opening to form a concave surface on the silicon substrate, and forming an intrinsic base and an associated emitter on the concave surface. The combination etching includes an isotropic etching and subsequent wet etching. The concave surface increases the distance between the external base for the intrinsic base and the emitter to thereby increase the emitter-base breakdown voltage.
