摘要:
A rectifier building block has four electrodes: source, drain, gate and probe. The main current flows between the source and drain electrodes. The gate voltage controls the conductivity of a narrow channel under a MOS gate and can switch the RBB between OFF and ON states. Used in pairs, the RBB can be configured as a three terminal half-bridge rectifier which exhibits better than ideal diode performance, similar to synchronous rectifiers but without the need for control circuits. N-type and P-type pairs can be configured as a full bridge rectifier. Other combinations are possible to create a variety of devices.

摘要:
A transistor having an electron quantum-wave interference layer with plural periods of a pair of a first layer W and a second layer B in a p-layer of an npn junction structure. The second layer B has wider band gap than the first layer W. Each thicknesses of the first layer W and the second layer B is determined by multiplying by an even number one fourth of quantum-wave wavelength of carriers in each of the first layer W and the second layer B, the carriers existing around the lowest energy level of the second layer B. The quantum-wave interference layer functions as an electron transmitting layer, and enables to lower a dynamic resistance of the transistor notably. A performance characteristics of a MESFET of an npn junction structure, having the electron transmitting layer is improved compared with a MESFET without an electrode transmitting layer. Similarly, a transistor having a hole reflecting layer, which has an improved performance characteristics, can be obtained. Forming a hole reflecting layer can be applied to a bipolar transistor or a MOSFET.

The invention relates to a method for producing a microelectromechanical device in a material substrate suitable for producing integrated electronic components, in particular a semiconductor substrate, wherein a material substrate (12, 14, 16) is provided on which at least one surface structure (26) is to be formed during production of the device. An electronic component (30) is formed in the material substrate (12, 14, 16) using process steps of a conventional method for producing integrated electronic components. A device component (44) defining the position of the electronic component (30) and/or required for the function of the electronic component (30) is selectively formed on the material substrate (12, 14, 16) from an etching stop material acting as an etching stop in case of etching of the material substrate (12, 14, 16) and/or in case of etching of a material layer (52) disposed on the material substrate (12, 14, 16). When the device component (44) of the electronic component (30) is implemented, a boundary region (48) is also formed on the material substrate (12, 14, 16) along at least a partial section of an edge of the surface structure (26), wherein said boundary region bounds said partial section. The material substrate (12, 14, 16) thus implemented is selectively etched for forming the surface structure (26), in that the edge of the bounding region (48) defines the position of the surface structure (26) to be implemented on the material substrate (12, 14, 16).

摘要:
Diode devices with superior and pre-settable characteristics and of nanometric dimensions, comprise etched insulative lines (8, 16, 18) in a conductive substrate to define between the lines charge carrier flow paths, formed as elongate channels (20) at least 100 nm long and less than 100 nm wide. The current-voltage characteristic of the diode devices are similar to a conventional diode, but both the threshold voltage (from 0V to a few volts) and the current level (from nA to νA) can be tuned by orders of magnitude by changing the device geometry. Standard silicon wafers can be used as substrates. A full family of logic gates, such as OR, AND, and NOT, can be constructed based on this device solely by simply etching insulative lines in the substrate.
