    Abstract: An ESD protection device includes a deep well having a first conductivity type, a well having the first conductivity type disposed in at least a portion of the deep well, proximate an upper surface of the deep well, and a drain region having a second conductivity type disposed in a portion of the deep well, proximate the upper surface of the deep well. A source structure is disposed in a portion of the well, proximate an upper surface of the well and spaced laterally from the drain region. The source structure includes multiple pairs of stripe regions, each of the stripe regions including a doped region of the first conductivity type and a doped region of the second conductivity type disposed laterally adjacent to one another. A gate is disposed over the well, between the drain region and the source structure, the gate being electrically isolated from the well.

  • Patent number: 9871008
    Abstract: Low Q associated with passive components of monolithic integrated circuits (ICs) when operated at microwave frequencies can be avoided or mitigated using high resistivity (e.g., ?100 Ohm-cm) semiconductor substrates and lower resistance inductors for the IC. This eliminates significant in-substrate electromagnetic coupling losses from planar inductors and interconnections overlying the substrate. The active transistor(s) are formed in the substrate proximate the front face. Planar capacitors are also formed over the front face of the substrate. Various terminals of the transistor(s), capacitor(s) and inductor(s) are coupled to a ground plane on the rear face of the substrate using through-substrate-vias to minimize parasitic resistance. Parasitic resistance associated with the planar inductors and heavy current carrying conductors is minimized by placing them on the outer surface of the IC where they can be made substantially thicker and of lower resistance.

  • Patent number: 8906773
    Abstract: Embodiments of integrated passive devices (e.g., metal insulator metal, or MIM, capacitors) and methods of their formation include depositing a composite electrode over a semiconductor substrate (e.g., on a dielectric layer above the substrate surface), and depositing an insulator layer over the composite electrode. The composite electrode includes an underlying electrode and an overlying electrode deposited on a top surface of the underlying electrode. The underlying electrode is formed from a first conductive material (e.g., AlCuW), and the overlying electrode is formed from a second, different conductive material (e.g., AlCu). The top surface of the underlying electrode may have a relatively rough surface morphology, and the top surface of the overlying electrode may have a relatively smooth surface morphology. For high frequency, high power applications, both the composite electrode and the insulator layer may be thicker than in some conventional integrated passive devices.
