    摘要: The signal-processing circuit of the present invention, more particularly the gain-controlled amplifier circuit, comprises a MOSFET (metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor), and an NPN bipolar transistor cascade-connected to the MOSFET. The gain-controlled amplifier circuit amplifiers the signal supplied to the gate of the MOSFET, with the gain corresponding to the voltage applied to the base of the NPN bipolar transistor. The circuit can generate an output signal at one end of the emitter-collector path of the NPN bipolar transistor, said output signal containing negligibly small distortion components; in particular, negligible third distortion components.

    摘要: In an integrated circuit device including a bipolar transistor, MOSFET, and protective diode for the MOSFET, all formed over a semiconductor substrate, the protective diode for holding an adequate electrostatic breakdown voltage for a gate oxide layer of the MOSFET is provided by forming a second conductivity type buried area continuous with, and in contact with, a second conductivity type region at a boundary between the first conductivity type semiconductor substrate and a first conductivity type second semiconductor layer. By doing so, a substantive junction depth Xj is made deeper as a whole with respect to the second conductivity type region. It is, therefore, possible to obtain a protective diode of adequate electrostatic breakdown-voltage characteristic which does not adversely affect the operation of the MOSFET even if a relatively thin semiconductor layer is employed. The resultant integrated circuit device equipped with the aforementioned protective diode can reveal an improved high frequency characteristic.

    摘要: A protection diode structure for a MOS transistor which includes a semiconductor substrate layer and a gate electrode insulated from the semiconductor substrate layer and in which a driving voltage is applied therebetween to create an inversion layer in an operating mode, includes a first semiconductor layer, a second semiconductor layer formed in the first semiconductor layer and connected to the gate electrode, and a third semiconductor layer formed to surround the first semiconductor layer, uniformly separated from the second layer, and connected to the semiconductor substrate layer, wherein the first and second semiconductor layers constitute a first diode having a breakdown voltage greater than the driving voltage and less than the gate withstand voltage of the MOS transistor, and the first and third semiconductor layers constitute a second diode having a breakdown voltage less than the gate withstand voltage of the MOS transistor. In this protection diode structure, the junction area of the second diode is set larger than that of the first diode by uniformly separating the third semiconductor layer from the second semiconductor layer. The semiconductor substrate layer and first semiconductor layer are formed of a first conductivity type and the second and third semiconductor layers are formed of a second conductivity type. Thus, the first PN junction diode is reversely biased by application of the drive voltage and the second PN junction diode is forwardly biased by application of the drive voltage.
