    Abstract: A high bandwidth Hall sensor includes, for example, a Hall element for generating a first polarity Hall-signal output current. An amplifier receives, at a first input, the first polarity Hall-signal output current and outputs a feedback current of a second polarity opposite the first polarity in response. The feedback current is coupled to the first input, and the feedback current suppresses an instantaneous voltage generated by the first polarity first Hall element output current at the first input. In an embodiment, the feedback current suppresses the instantaneous voltage generated by first polarity Hall element output current such that the effects of the Hall element source impedance are reduced.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device is formed on a semiconductor substrate, including a primary portion of the substrate. An active component of the semiconductor device is disposed in the primary portion of the substrate. An interconnect region is formed on a top surface of the substrate. Semiconductor material is removed from the substrate in an isolation region, which is separate from the primary portion of the substrate; the isolation region extends from the top surface of the substrate to a bottom surface of the substrate. A dielectric replacement material is formed in the isolation region. The semiconductor device further includes an isolated component which is not disposed in the primary portion of the substrate. The dielectric replacement material in the isolation region separates the isolated component from the primary portion of the substrate.

    Abstract: Amplifier circuits and methods of cancelling the Miller effects in amplifiers are disclosed herein. An embodiment of an amplifier circuit includes an input and an output. An amplifier is connected between the input and the output of the circuit. A voltage source is connected to the output, wherein the voltage source output is one hundred eighty degrees out of phase with the voltage output by the amplifier, and wherein the voltage source cancels gain due to the Miller effect of a Miller capacitance between the input and output.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit is formed by forming an isolation trench through at least a portion of an interconnect region, at least 40 microns deep into a substrate of the integrated circuit, leaving at least 200 microns of substrate material under the isolation trench. Dielectric material is formed in the isolation trench at a substrate temperature no greater than 320° C. to form an isolation structure which separates an isolated region of the integrated circuit from at least a portion of the substrate. The isolated region contains an isolated component. The isolated region of the integrated circuit may be a region of the substrate, and/or a region of the interconnect region. The isolated region may be a first portion of the substrate which is laterally separated from a second portion of the substrate. The isolated region may be a portion of the interconnect region above the isolation structure.
