摘要: A switch includes an input terminal, an output terminal, and a stack including transistors, such as, for example, field effect transistors, coupled in series, the stack being coupled between the input terminal and the output terminal. The switch also includes at least one switching element configured to be selectively operated in a conducting state or a non-conducting state, and at least one overvoltage protection element coupled to the stack by the at least one switching element. By way of example, the switch can implement a radio-frequency switch.

摘要: This disclosure relates to apparatus and methods for radio-frequency (RF) switching circuits, and more particularly for a PIN diode driver circuit for high speed, high repetition rate and/or high power applications. The PIN diode driver may include a dual voltage reverse bias provided to the PIN diode, which dual voltage reverse bias may be provided by a first, relatively lower voltage, power supply and a second, relatively higher voltage, power supply. The relatively lower voltage is to discharge an intrinsic layer of the PIN diode at a lower voltage than during reverse bias of the PIN diode at the second relatively higher bias voltage in order to reduce overall power consumption.

摘要: An attenuator having an impedance that is controllable by a first setpoint signal is coupled to a transmission line. A matching circuit having an impedance that is controllable by a second setpoint signal is also coupled to the transmission line. A transformer circuit block also coupled to the transmission line has a complex impedance. A control circuit sets the first and second setpoint signals so as to control a conjugate impedance relationship between the variable impedances presented by the attenuator and matching circuit relative to the complex impedance of the transformer circuit.

摘要: An eVC including coarse and fine tuning networks. The coarse tuning network includes a circuit: receiving a RF input signal from a RF generator; outputting a RF output signal to a reference terminal or load; and receiving a DC bias voltage. The circuit is switched between first and second states. A capacitance of the circuit is based on the DC bias voltage while in the first state and is not based on the DC bias voltage while in the second state. The fine tuning network is connected in parallel with the coarse tuning network and includes a varactor. The varactor includes: a first diode receiving the RF input signal; and a second diode connected in a back-to-back configuration with the first diode and outputting a RF output signal to the reference terminal or load. A capacitance of the varactor is based on a second received DC bias voltage.

摘要: A control circuit disposed in a connection line including a first power pin and a second power pin and including a native N-type transistor, a first impedance unit, and a second impedance unit is provided. The native N-type transistor includes a first gate, a first drain and a first source. The first drain is coupled to the first power pin. The first impedance unit is coupled between the first source and the second power pin. The second impedance unit is coupled between the first drain and the first gate. When the voltage level of the first power pin is equal to a pre-determined level, the first gate of the native N-type transistor receives an adjusting signal to adjust an equivalent impedance of the native N-type transistor.

摘要: In one embodiment, a semiconductor processing tool includes a plasma chamber and an impedance matching circuit. The matching circuit includes a first electronically variable capacitor having a first variable capacitance, a second electronically variable capacitor having a second variable capacitance, and a control circuit. The control circuit is configured to determine a variable impedance of the plasma chamber, determine a first capacitance value for the first electronically variable capacitor and a second capacitance value for the second electronically variable capacitor, and generate a control signal to alter at least one of the first variable capacitance and the second variable capacitance to the first capacitance value and the second capacitance value, respectively. An elapsed time between determining the variable impedance of the plasma chamber to when RF power reflected back to the RF source decreases is less than about 150 μsec.

摘要: Various on-die-precision-resistor arrays, and methods of making and calibrating the same are disclosed. In one aspect, an apparatus is provided that includes a semiconductor chip and a precision resistor array on the semiconductor chip. A replica precision resistor array is on the semiconductor chip. The replica precision resistor array is configured to mimic the resistance behavior of the precision resistor array and has a characteristic resistance that is a function of temperature. The semiconductor chip is configured to calibrate the precision resistor array using the characterized resistance as a function of temperature, a resistance offset of the precision resistor array relative to the characterized resistance as a function of temperature, and a temperature of the precision resistor array.
