    摘要: Integrating high-voltage devices with other circuitry, which may be fabricated on a semiconductor wafer using low-voltage foundry technology, such as a low-voltage complementary metal oxide semiconductor (LV-CMOS) process. The other circuitry may include low-voltage devices, such as switching transistors used in logic circuits, computer circuitry, and the like, or other high-voltage devices, such as a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) switch. The high-voltage devices may be used to create useful high-voltage circuits, such as level-shifting circuits, input protection circuits, charge pump circuits, switching circuits, latch circuits, latching switch circuits, interface circuits, any combination thereof, or the like. The high-voltage circuits may be controlled by the other circuitry.

    摘要: The present invention relates to integration of a lateral high-voltage metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (LHV-MOSFET) with other circuitry on a semiconductor wafer, which may be fabricated using low-voltage foundry technology, such as a low-voltage complementary metal oxide semiconductor (LV-CMOS) process. The other circuitry may include low-voltage devices, such as switching transistors used in logic circuits, computer circuitry, and the like, or other high-voltage devices, such as a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) switch. The source to drain voltage capability of the LHV-MOSFET may be increased by using an intrinsic material between the source and the drain. The gate voltage capability of the LHV-MOSFET may be increased by using an insulator material, such as a thick oxide, between the gate and the channel of the LHV-MOSFET.

    摘要: The present invention relates to providing a uniform operating environment for each of multiple devices by providing a common environment to the devices. The common environment is provided by multiple cavities, which are interconnected by at least one environmental pathway, which may be provided by at least one tunnel. The common environment may help provide uniform operating pressure, which may be a partial or near vacuum, a surrounding gas of uniform contents, such as an inert gas or mixture of inert gases, or both. The devices may include micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) devices, such as MEMS switches.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a radio frequency (RF) switch that includes multiple body-contacted field effect transistor (FET) elements coupled in series. The FET elements may be formed using a thin-film semiconductor device layer, which is part of a thin-film semiconductor die. Conduction paths between the FET elements through the thin-film semiconductor device layer and through a substrate of the thin-film semiconductor die may be substantially eliminated by using insulating materials. Elimination of the conduction paths allows an RF signal across the RF switch to be divided across the series coupled FET elements, such that each FET element is subjected to only a portion of the RF signal. Further, each FET element is body-contacted and may receive reverse body biasing when the RF switch is in an OFF state, thereby reducing an OFF state drain-to-source capacitance of each FET element.

    摘要: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to programmable duplexers. The frequency pass band of the programmable duplexer is changed according to a selection of a channel-pair selection to control or maximize the transition band between the receiver path and the transmitter path. The programmable duplexer permits selections of desired pass bands without the need for multiple duplexer filters. As an additional advantage, the transmission band requirements become less sensitive to manufacturing tolerances and temperature variations.
