Abstract: Novel fluorophosphite compounds having the structure of general formula (I): where Ar1 and Ar2 are aryl groups containing 4 to 30 carbon atoms; R1 to R6 are H or alkyl or aryl hydrocarbon radicals containing 1 to 40 carbon atoms; and X is a connecting group or a simple chemical bond, were developed and found to be very active for hydroformylation processes for ethylenically unsaturated substrates. Catalyst solutions prepared from these compounds with a Rh metal show an unusual “ligand acceleration effect” for simple alkenes, i.e., the hydroformylation activity increases as the concentration of ligand increases, and are capable of producing linear or branched aldehydes under typical hydroformylation conditions.

Abstract: An active mixer with self-adaptive bias feedback is described and resolves a poor linearity, inconvenient design of a bias circuit, and other defects of a conventional mixer. The dual self-feedback bias structure according to this invention is used. The active mixer with self-adaptive bias feedback has a power supply, an RF input match/drive unit, a local oscillator input match/drive unit, a mixer core unit, a self-adaptive twin bias circuit and an IF output match/buffer unit. This invention improves the linearity of a conventional mixer and does not affect other characteristics. There are fewer components in this invention; an area of the mixer is thus smaller. Further, this invention may improve temperature response, increase yield factor, and lower unit cost. The dual self-feedback bias structure is designed for further application to other semiconductor manufacturing processes, components, and microwave products.

Abstract: A linearized bias circuit with adaptation resolves the problem happening to the power amplifier with conventional bias circuit that the DC and AC characteristics of the power amplifier shift or even deteriorate due to a temperature variation.

At the same time, the quantity of the required elements and layout area in the present invention are small so that the design complexity can be reduced for improving yield, reducing IC layout area, and reducing cost.
