    摘要: A light valve has a composite substrate comprised of an electrically insulating substrate and a semiconductor single crystal thin film formed over the electrically insulating substrate. A pixel array comprising semiconductor switch elements is formed in the semiconductor single crystal thin film. A peripheral circuit having circuit elements is formed in the semiconductor single crystal thin film so that a small-sized, high speed light valve is obtained. X- driver and Y-driver circuits are formed in the semiconductor single crystal thin film and controlled by a control circuit, such as a video signal processing circuit, which receives and processes video signals inputted directly from an external source. The peripheral circuit can be a DRAM sense amplifier for sensing charges stored in each pixel of the pixel array to detect defects in the pixel array. The peripheral circuit can be a photosensor circuit for detecting an intensity of incident light to monitor the performance of a light source of the light valve. The peripheral circuit can be a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of a liquid crystal layer of the light valve, and may be comprised of Darlington connected NPN transistors formed in the semiconductor single crystal thin film. The peripheral circuit can also be a solar cell for converting incident light into electrical energy to supply power to at least one of the pixel array, X-driver and Y-driver circuits and the peripheral circuit.

    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit device has a peripheral transistor having a strengthened ESD resistance for external connection. The peripheral transistor has a channel structure effective to release an electrostatic stress current more efficiently than an internal transistor of the semiconductor integrated circuit. In one embodiment, the peripheral transistor has a channel portion that is shorter than the channel portion of an internal transistor. In another embodiment, the peripheral transistor has a substrate contact, a ground line, and an additional resistor interconnection between them to efficiently release an electrostatic stress current. In another embodiment, the peripheral transistor has an asymmetric channel structure so that the distance between the source contact and the gate electrode is set shorter than the distance between the drain contact and the gate electrode. In a further embodiment, the peripheral transistor has a drain region and a gate insulating film having a portion of the insulating film that is thinner than the rest of the gate insulating film. In another embodiment, a gate contact is electrically connected between a gate electrode and a metal gate line of the peripheral transistor to reduce a resistance therebetween. In another embodiment, the peripheral transistor has a transistor breakdown voltage that is smaller than a gate breakdown voltage to efficiently release electrostatic stress current.
