    摘要: A diode for alternating current (DIAC) electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit is formed in a silicon germanium (SiGe) hetrojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) process that utilizes a very thin collector region. ESD protection for a pair of to-be-protected pads is provided by utilizing the base structures and the emitter structures of the SiGe transistors.

    摘要: In an ESD protection structure, dual direction ESD protection is provided by forming an n-well isolation ring around an NMOS device so that the p-well in which the NMOS drain is formed is isolated from the underlying p-substrate by the n-well isolation ring. By forming the n-well isolation ring the p-n-p-n structure of an embedded SCR for reverse ESD protection is provided. The width of the n-well isolation ring and its spacing from the NMOS drain are adjusted to provide the desired SCR parameters.

    摘要: The integration period of an imaging cell, or the time that an imaging cell is exposed to light energy, is substantially increased by utilizing a single-poly, electrically-programmable, read-only-memory (EPROM) structure to capture the light energy. Photogenerated electrons are formed in the channel region of the EPROM structure from the light energy. The photogenerated electrons are then accelerated into having ionizing collisions which, in turn, leads to electrons being injected onto the floating gate of the EPROM structure at a rate that is proportionate to the number of photons captured by the channel region.

    摘要: A photon detector capable of detecting gigahertz frequency optical signals utilizes a layer of photonic material that is formed adjacent to the coil of an inductor. When a pulsed light source is applied to the layer of photonic material, the photonic material generates eddy currents that alter the magnetic flux of the inductor. The signals can then be detected by detecting the change in the magnetic flux.
