    Abstract: An improved heatsink attachment assembly includes a first anchor configured to secure to a first location of the circuit board, and a second anchor configured to secure to a second location of the circuit board. Each anchor includes legs having looped end portions configured to contact the circuit board. The heatsink attachment assembly further includes a heatsink clip configured to concurrently (i) fasten to the anchors when the anchors secure to the circuit board, and (ii) hold a heatsink to against a circuit board component of the circuit board. The looped end portions of the legs prevent the legs from completely passing through holes defined in the circuit board. In some situations, the looped end portions define extended coils (e.g., double loops) for a robust interference fit with the circuit board as well as for enhanced strength and stability.

    Abstract: A retainer directly attaches to a circuit board component and to a heat sink and secures the circuit board component to the heat sink. The retainer provides a mechanical attachment between the heat sink and the circuit board component. Such mechanical attachment maintains thermal communication between the heat sink and the circuit board component in the absence of a thermally conductive adhesive between the heat sink and the circuit board component for the operational life of the circuit board component. Furthermore, because the retainer attaches directly to the circuit board component and to the heat sink, the retainer minimizes the necessity for use of mounting holes in the circuit board associated with the circuit board component to secure the heat sink to the circuit board component.

    Abstract: A power rectifier having low on resistance, fast recovery times and very low forward voltage drop. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention provides a power rectifier device employing a vertical device structure, i.e., with current flow between the major surfaces of the discrete device. The device employs a large number of parallel connected cells, each comprising a MOSFET structure with a gate to drain short via a common metallization. A self aligned body implant and a shallow silicide drain contact region integrated with a metal silicide drain contact define a narrow channel region and allow very high cell density. This provides a low Vf path through the channel regions of the MOSFET cells to the contact on the other side of the integrated circuit. The present invention further provides a method for manufacturing a rectifier device which provides the above desirable device characteristics in a repeatable manner. Also, only two masking steps are required, reducing processing costs.

    Abstract: A flash memory cell is of the type having a substrate of a first conductivity type having a first region of a second conductivity type at a first end, and a second region of the second conductivity type at a second end, spaced apart from the first end, with a channel region between the first end and the second end. The flash memory cell has a plurality of stacked pairs of floating gates and control gates with the floating gates positioned over portions of the channel region and are insulated therefrom, and each control gate over a floating gate and insulated therefrom. The flash memory cell further has a plurality of erase gates over the channel region which are insulated therefrom, with an erase gate between each pair of stacked pair of floating gate and control gate. In a method of erasing the flash memory cell, a pulse of a first positive voltage is applied to alternating erase gates (“first alternating gates”). In addition, a ground voltage is applied to erase gates other than the first alternating gates (“second alternating gates”). In a second method to erase the flash memory cell, a pulse of a first positive voltage is applied to the first alternating gates and a negative voltage is applied to the second alternating gates and to all control gates.
