    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for ESD protection of integrated passive devices (IPDs). The apparatus comprises one or more IPDs having terminals or other elements potentially exposed to ESD transients coupled by charge leakage resistances having resistance values much larger than the ordinary impedance of the IPDs at the operating frequency of interest. When the IPD is built on a semi-insulating substrate, various elements of the IPD are coupled to the substrate by spaced-apart connections so that the substrate itself provides the high value resistances coupling the elements, but this is not essential. When applied to an IPD RF coupler, the ESD tolerance increased by over 70%. The invented arrangement can also be applied to active devices and integrated circuits and to IPDs with conductive or insulating substrates.

    摘要: A semiconductor fabrication process includes forming a gate dielectric layer (120) overlying a substrate (101) that includes a III-V semiconductor compound. The gate dielectric layer is patterned to produce a gate dielectric structure (121) that has a substantially vertical sidewall (127), e.g., a slope of approximately 45° to 90°. A metal contact structure (130) is formed overlying the wafer substrate. The contact structure is laterally displaced from the gate dielectric structure sufficiently to define a gap (133) between the two. The wafer (100) is heat treated, which causes migration of at least one of the metal elements to form an alloy region (137) in the underlying wafer substrate. The alloy region underlies the contact structure and extends across all or a portion of the wafer substrate underlying the gap. An insulative or dielectric capping layer (140,150) is then formed overlying the wafer and covering the portion of the substrate exposed by the gap.

    摘要: Aspects of a method and system for compensation of interference cancellation delay are provided. In this regard, a wireless communication device may receive one or more signals and may be operable to select, whether dynamically or statically, a processing path for processing the one or more received signals. The selected processing path may comprise one of an interference cancellation processing path and a pass-through processing path. A delay introduced by the pass-through processing path may be approximately equal to a processing delay introduced by the interference cancellation processing path. The one or more received signals may comprise HSDPA signals. The selection of processing path may be based on a measure of interference present in the one or more received signals.
