  • Patent number: 9837508
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a trench power MOSFET is provided. In the manufacturing method, the trench gate structure of the trench power MOSFET is formed in the epitaxial layer and includes an upper doped region, a lower doped region and a middle region interposed therebetween. The upper doped region has a conductive type reverse to that of the lower doped region, and the middle region is an intrinsic or lightly-doped region to form a PIN, P+/N? or N+/P? junction. As such, when the trench power MOSFET is in operation, a junction capacitance formed at the PIN, P+/N? or N+/P? junction is in series with the parasitic capacitance. Accordingly, the gate-to-drain effective capacitance may be reduced.

  • Publication number: 20170299724
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to enhancing performance at a device that implements a stand-alone global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver. In particular, a GNSS-enabled mobile device may obtain positioning data from one or more non-satellite sources and determine satellite signal quality in a surrounding environment. As such, in response to determining that the environment surrounding the GNSS-enabled mobile device is a weak satellite signal environment, the GNSS-enabled mobile device may trigger a process to provide the positioning data obtained from the one or more non-satellite sources to the device that implements the stand-alone GNSS receiver such that performance at the device that implements the stand-alone GNSS receiver may be enhanced in poor satellite signal environments.
