Abstract:
The continuous conduction mode (CCM) boost voltage power factor correction apparatus with an average-current control mode of the present invention uses resettable integrators to integrate the difference voltage signal outputted from the voltage error amplifier and the input current signal obtained from detection. The integration results are then compared to control the duty cycle of the switch. Thereby, the input current and the input voltage in the AC/DC electrical power converter have a proportion relation and their phases are the same as each other. The components used in this control method are simpler than the PFC circuit of the prior art. It is easy to integrate in one chip with fewer pins. The apparatus of the present invention has a high power factor and a low total harmonic distortion (THD).

Abstract:
A method of forming a FINFET CMOS device structure featuring an N channel device and a P channel device formed in the same SOI layer, has been developed. The method features formation of two parallel SOI fin type structures, followed by gate insulator growth on the sides of the SOI fin type structures, and definition of a conductive gate structure formed traversing the SOI fin type structures while interfacing the gate insulator layer. A doped insulator layer of a first conductivity type is formed on the exposed top surfaces of a first SOI fin type shape, while a second doped insulator layer of a second conductivity type is formed on the exposed top surfaces of the second SOI fin type shape. An anneal procedure results creation of a source/drain region of a first conductivity type in portions of the first SOI fin type shape underlying the first doped insulator layer, and creation of a source/drain region of a second conductivity type in portions of the second SOI fin type shape underlying the second doped insulator layer. Selective deposition of tungsten on exposed top surface of the source/drain regions is then employed to decrease source/drain resistance.
Abstract:
A method of reducing the aspect ratio for dry etch processes used to form contact hole and storage node openings in composite insulator layers, to expose regions of CMOS devices used for embedded memory cell applications, has been developed. The method features formation of CMOS devices for an embedded memory cell in a recessed region of a semiconductor substrate, while peripheral, higher performing CMOS devices are formed on a non-recessed, SOI layer. Removal of a top portion of a first planarized insulator layer, only in the embedded memory cell region, allows reduction of the aspect ratio of a storage node opening formed in the bottom portion of the first planarized insulator layer. Formation of an overlying, second planarized insulator layer results in a composite insulator layer comprised of a thinned, second planarized insulator layer on the underlying first planarized insulator layer, in the peripheral CMOS device region. The thinned, second planarized insulator component of the composite insulator layer allows reduction of the aspect ratio for formation of a contact hole now defined in the composite insulator layer.
Abstract:
A method for forming FET devices with attenuated gate induced drain leakage current. There is provided a silicon semiconductor substrate employed within a microelectronics fabrication. There is formed within the silicon substrate field oxide (FOX) dielectric isolation regions defining an active silicon substrate device area. There is formed over the substrate a silicon oxide gate oxide insulation layer employing thermal oxidation. There is then formed over the silicon oxide gate oxide insulation layer a patterned polycrystalline silicon gate electrode layer. There is then thermally oxidized the substrate and polycrystalline silicon gate electrode to form a thicker silicon oxide layer at the edge of the gate electrode and in the adjacent silicon substrate area. There is then etched back the thicker silicon oxide layer from the silicon substrate area adjacent to the gate electrode. There is then formed employing low energy ion implantation shallow junction source-drain extension regions adjacent to the gate electrode. There is then formed source-drain regions to complete the FET device, which exhibits attenuated drain leakage current. The present invention may be employed to fabricate complementary metal-oxide-silicon (CMOS) FET devices of either polarity with attenuated gate induced drain leakage (GIDL) current, short channel effect (SCE) and punch-through leakage current in integrated circuit microelectronics fabrications wherein low power drain is desired.
