    Abstract: The present controllable synchronous rectifier employs a Lus semiconductor to set synchronous rectification action in quadrant 1 of output characteristics of the conventional power MOSFETs. By controlling the voltage level of the gate-source voltage, the drain current can be controlled in the synchronous rectifier. Further, in combination with a protect opposite circuit to transfer a sinusoidal wave power supply or pulse power supply to a direct current power output, the synchronous rectifier is an indispensable high efficiency rectifier in the industry.

    Abstract: In an integrated circuit chip, a conductive line is formed in a first IMD layer. The conductive line is formed of a conductive line material that tends to form an oxide when exposed to an oxygen-containing substance. A glue layer is formed on the conductive line. The glue layer is formed of a non-oxygen-containing material capable of providing an oxygen barrier over the conductive line. The glue layer has a hardness greater than that of the conductive line. The glue layer preferably has a thickness between about 15 angstroms and about 75 angstroms. The etch stop layer is formed on the glue layer. The etch stop layer has a hardness greater than that of the glue layer. A second IMD layer is formed on the etch stop layer. The etch stop layer and/or the second IMD layer may be formed with a material comprising oxygen without oxidizing the conductive line.
