  • Patent number: 8487317
    Abstract: This invention discloses a GaN semiconductor device comprising a substrate; a metal-rich nitride compound thin film on the substrate; a buffer layer formed on the metal-rich nitride compound thin film, and a semiconductor stack layer on the buffer layer wherein the metal-dominated nitride compound thin film covers a partial upper surface of the substrate. Because metal-rich nitride compound is amorphous, the epitaxial growth direction of the buffer layer grows upwards in the beginning and then turns laterally, and the epitaxy defects of the buffer layer also bend with the epitaxial growth direction of the buffer layer. Therefore, the probability of the epitaxial defects extending to the semiconductor stack layer is reduced and the reliability of the GaN semiconductor device is improved.

  • Patent number: 8212938
    Abstract: A sync signal acquisition device is disclosed which comprises a transistor, a resistor, a clamper, an analog multiplexer and a comparator. While operating in a composite HS mode, prior to the generation of the sync signal HS, the invention uses a conventional circuit to extract a composite sync signal at start-up, thereby allowing related circuits to generate the sync signal HS and a clamping signal. Then, a mode selecting signal is used to disable the automatic clamping mode and switch the analog multiplexer to a forced clamping mode. At this point, the output voltage of the damper is set by a user instead of process; accordingly, the DC voltage level is more controllable, but not subject to drift due to process changes or temperature changes.
