  • Publication number: 20130187558
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a power supply circuit for driving at least one light emitting diode (LED). The power supply circuit comprises: an input unit, an active power factor corrector, a converter, an output unit and a feedback unit. The input unit is utilized to receive power signal from a power source, and the output unit is utilized to receive power transferred from the converter for driving at least one LED. The feedback unit couples to a node between the converter and the output unit, and delivers the power signal, from the converter to the output unit, back to the active power factor corrector. The active power factor corrector monitors the power signal based on the power signal from the feedback unit for stabilizing the outputting power from the output unit and thereby driving the LED.

  • Patent number: 8354315
    Abstract: A power semiconductor structure with schottky diode is provided. In the step of forming the gate structure, a separated first polysilicon structure is also formed on the silicon substrate. Then, the silicon substrate is implanted with dopants by using the first polysilicon structure as a mask to form a body and a source region. Afterward, a dielectric layer is deposited on the silicon substrate and an open penetrating the dielectric layer and the first polysilicon structure is formed so as to expose the source region and the drain region below the body. The depth of the open is smaller than the greatest depth of the body. Then, a metal layer is filled into the open to electrically connect to the source region and the drain region.

  • Patent number: 8283230
    Abstract: A fabrication method of a self-aligned power semiconductor structure is provided. Firstly, a trenched polysilicon gate is formed in a silicon substrate. Then, a self-aligned polysilicon extending structure is formed on the trenched polysilicon gate. A width of the self-aligned polysilicon extending structure is smaller than that of the trenched polysilicon gate. Thereafter, the self-aligned polysilicon extending structure is oxidized to form a silicon oxide protruding structure on the trenched polysilicon gate.
