A FET device for operation at high voltages includes a substrate, a first well and a second well within the substrate that are doped with implants of a first type and second type, respectively. The first and second wells define a p-n junction. A field oxide layer within the second well defines a first surface region to receive a drain contact. A third well is located at least partially in the first well, includes doped implants of the second type, and is adapted to receive a source contact. As such, the third well defines a channel between itself and the second well within the first well. A gate is disposed over the channel. At least a first portion of the gate is disposed over the p-n junction, and includes doped implants of the first type. A number of permutations are allowed for doping the remainder of the gate.

A high-voltage LDMOSFET includes a semiconductor substrate, in which a gate well is formed. A source well and a drain well are formed on either side of the gate well, and include insulating regions within them that do not reach the full depth. An insulating layer is disposed on the substrate, covering the gate well and a portion of the source well and the drain well. A conductive gate is disposed on the insulating layer. Biasing wells are formed adjacent the source well and the drain well. A deep well is formed in the substrate such that it communicates with the biasing wells and the gate well, while extending under the source well and the drain well, such as to avoid them. Biasing contacts at the top of the biasing wells bias the deep well, and therefore also the gate well.

A system is provided and includes an array of cells, a first module, and a third module. The first module reads a state of a cell in the array to detect first bits stored in the cell. The third module, subsequent to the first module reading the state, performs a first operation on a first bit of the first bits and performs the first operation on a first of multiple signal inputs. The signal inputs indicate second bits of data to be stored in the cell. The third module performs a second operation on a second bit of the first bits and performs the second operation on a second one of the signal inputs. The first module, based on results of the first and second operations, performs a first erase operation or a first program operation on the cell to match the state of the cell to the second bits.

A robot and a method for recognizing human faces and gestures are provided, and the method is applicable to a robot. In the method, a plurality of face regions within an image sequence captured by the robot are processed by a first classifier, so as to locate a current position of a specific user from the face regions. Changes of the current position of the specific user are tracked to move the robot accordingly. While the current position of the specific user is tracked, a gesture feature of the specific user is extracted by analyzing the image sequence. An operating instruction corresponding to the gesture feature is recognized by processing the gesture feature through a second classifier, and the robot is controlled to execute a relevant action according to the operating instruction.

Methods and apparatus on charges injection using piezo-ballistic-charges injection mechanism are provided for semiconductor device and nonvolatile memory device. The device comprises a strain source, an injection filter, a first conductive region, a second conductive region, and a third conductive region.
