    摘要: A high performance bipolar transistor and a method of fabrication. Base resistance is reduced by a self-aligned silicide formed in the single-crystal region of the extrinsic base, thereby eliminating the polysilicon to single-crystal contact resistance as well as shunting the resistance of the single-crystal extrinsic base region. Oxide from the sidewall of the polysilicon local interconnection is selectively removed prior to silicide formation. Therefore, selected sidewalls of the poly interconnect layer also becomes silicided. This results in significant reductions in resistance of the interconnection, particularly for submicron geometries. Improved techniques for forming field oxide regions and for forming base regions of bipolar transistors are also disclosed.

    摘要: A filter topography is possible that can reduce the overall cost of a single Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer (OADM) or a series of OADMs that are within a network. The key is to have one of the wavelengths of a WDM signal being input to a filtering apparatus empty. The filtering apparatus can then with a reduced cost filter the received WDM signal such that a channel at a wavelength adjacent to the empty wavelength is removed and a channel is inserted at the previously empty wavelength. In one implementation of this topology within an OADM, a single filter can be used to perform both filtering operations due to the empty wavelength ensuring no corruption of the removed channel at the adjacent wavelength. In another implementation, the filtering operations are performed by two separate filters that each have asymmetrically reduced tolerances. In either case in which there is a reduced number of filters or reduced tolerances for those filters, a reduction in cost will be found.

    摘要: A protocol independent multiplexer is described that allows for multiple different protocols that operate at different bit rates to be combined and output in a format that may have yet another bit rate. The multiplexer includes a series of inputting devices that are each coupled to a respective buffering device, a mapping device coupled to each of the buffering devices, and an outputting device coupled to the mapping device. Each of the inputting devices receive an input optical signal and forwards recovered data information to the corresponding buffering device. The buffering devices store the data information and output to the mapping device, the outputting being controlled by the mapping device to ensure that the buffering devices remain approximately half full. The mapping device formats the data information into individual data units and outputs the data units to the outputting device which subsequently multiplexes the data units. One key advantage of this protocol independent multiplexer is that only one piece of hardware is required for the operation of numerous different protocols.
