Device structures, design structures, and fabrication methods for a drain-extended metal-oxide-semiconductor (DEMOS) transistor. A first well of a first conductivity type and a second well of a second conductivity type are formed in a device region. The first and second wells are juxtaposed to define a p-n junction. A first doped region of the first conductivity type and a doped region of the second conductivity type are in the first well. The first doped region of the first conductivity type is separated from the second well by a first portion of the first well. The doped region of the second conductivity type is separated from the second well by a second portion of the first well. A second doped region of the first conductivity type, which is in the second well, is separated by a portion of the second well from the first and second portions of the first well.

A method, system, and computer program for using an array of networked 3D voltage regulation modules (VRMs) to optimize power usage by components on a voltage island in real time is presented. The networked VRM devices work in parallel to supply adequate power to connected voltage islands, and to supplement other VRMs in the system that may require additional power in the case of a critical event.

A novel CMOS image sensor Active Pixel Sensor (APS) cell structure and method of manufacture. Particularly, a CMOS image sensor APS cell having a predoped transfer gate is formed that avoids the variations of Vt as a result of subsequent manufacturing steps. According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, the CMOS image sensor APS cell structure includes a doped p-type pinning layer and an n-type doped gate. There is additionally provided a method of forming the CMOS image sensor APS cell having a predoped transfer gate and a doped pinning layer. The predoped transfer gate prevents part of the gate from becoming p-type doped.

A pixel sensor cell of improved dynamic range comprises a coupling transistor that couples a capacitor device to a photosensing region (e.g., photodiode) of the pixel cell, the photodiode being coupled to a transfer gate and one terminal of the coupling transistor. In operation, the additional capacitance is coupled to the pixel cell photodiode when the voltage on the photodiode is drawn down to the substrate potential. Thus, the added capacitance is only connected to the imager cell when the cell is nearing its charge capacity. Otherwise, the cell has a low capacitance and low leakage. In an additional embodiment, a terminal of the capacitor is coupled to a “pulsed” supply voltage signal that enables substantially full depletion of stored charge from the capacitor to the photosensing region during a read out operation of the pixel sensor cell. In various embodiments, the locations of the added capacitance and photodiode may be interchanged with respect to the coupling transistor. In addition, the added capacitor of the pixel sensor cell allows for a global shutter operation.

A voltage identifier (VID) sorting system is provided that optimizes processor power and operating voltage guardband at a constant processor frequency. The VID sorting system determines a voltage versus current curve for the processor. The VID sorting system then uses the voltage versus current characteristics to calculate the power for each VID to determine an acceptable range of VIDs within the maximum power criteria. The VID sorting system then tests VIDs in the range and selects a VID from the range to optimize for minimum power and/or maximum voltage guardband at a constant processor frequency.
摘要:
Methods of adjusting a resistance of a buried resistor in a semiconductor are disclosed. In one aspect, the method includes using a silicidation blocking mask to define the buried resistor in the semiconductor; adjusting a size of the silicidation blocking mask to adjust a resistance of the buried resistor based on test data from a previous processing lot including a substantially similar buried resistor; and forming silicide on an area not covered by the silicidation blocking mask. The adjustment may be made by balancing the amount of the resistor that is covered with silicide versus un-silicided semiconductor to achieve the desired total resistance. The adjustment may be made according to an algorithm.
