摘要： A method of equalizing the channels of a WDM link comprises identifying an error threshold level BER.sub.Fail for the BER defined for each signal S(j) in accordance with the channel rate, and determining the attenuation A(j) of, for example, the power P(j) of each signal S(j) transmitted over the WDM link. The transmitter powers are adjusted taking into account the attenuations determined for all channels. The attenuation A(j) for channel (j) is determined by first setting the power P(j) of all signals S(j) to a maximum P.sub.Max, attenuating the power P(j) of channel (j) until the BER reaches the threshold value BER.sub.Fail, measuring the power corresponding to the BER.sub.Fail for that channel, and calculating the difference between the P.sub.Max and P(j).sub.Fail. The transmitter powers are then set according to the relationship P(j)=P.sub.Max -.eta.(A(j)-A.sub.Min), where .eta. is 0.8 for a system with 3-4 channels. The method may be used for multi-channel systems with intermediate nodes where channels are added and dropped.

摘要： A CMOS device containing a plurality of hexagon cells over a semiconductor substrate is disclosed. Each hexagon cell includes a hexagonal ring gate, a drain diffusion region and a source diffusion region. The hexagonal ring gate is made of conducting materials and a dielectric layer over the substrate, therefore defining a channel region in the substrate between the gate and the substrate. The entire drain diffusion region in the substrate is enclosed by the hexagonal ring gate. The source diffusion region surrounds the hexagonal ring gate in the substrate. Each hexagon cell further provides a drain contact in the center of the drain diffusion region. A plurality of source contacts are arranged around the ring gate over the substrate. The hexagon cells of a unique hexagon device are surrounded by a first guard ring and a second guard ring. The hexagon device can be used as a CMOS output buffer or input ESD protection circuit to reduce the layout area of an integrated circuit.

摘要： The present invention is an electronic device, and more particularly an MOS transistor. A square-type layout style is used to realize the MOS device. By using the present layout style, the output driving/sinking capability of output buffers as well as the ESD protection capability of NMOS and PMOS devices in output buffers or input ESD protection circuits are significantly improved within smaller layout area. Both drain diffusion area and drain-to-bulk parasitic capacitance at the output node are reduced by this square-type layout. Devices using the present layout style can be assembled to form larger, rectangular (or square) and similarly functioning devices. Thus, the present square-type layout style is very attractive to submicron CMOS VLSI/ULSI in high-density and high-speed applications.
