There are disclosed herein various implementations of a bipolar semiconductor device having a charge-balanced inter-trench structure. Such a device includes a drift region having a first conductivity type situated over an anode layer having a second conductivity type. The device also includes first and second control trenches extending through an inversion region having the second conductivity type into the drift region, each of the first and second control trenches being bordered by a cathode diffusion having the first conductivity type. In addition, the device includes an inter-trench structure situated in the drift region between the first and second control trenches. The inter-trench structure includes one or more first conductivity regions having the first conductivity type and one or more second conductivity region having the second conductivity type, the one or more first conductivity regions and the one or more second conductivity regions configured to substantially charge-balance the inter-trench structure.

A semiconductor rectifier includes a semiconductor substrate having a first type of conductivity. A first layer, which is formed on the substrate, has the first type of conductivity and is more lightly doped than the substrate. A second layer having a second type of conductivity is formed on the substrate and a metal layer is disposed over the second layer. The second layer is lightly doped so that a Schottky contact is formed between the metal layer and the second layer. A first electrode is formed over the metal layer and a second electrode is formed on a backside of the substrate.

A power electronic package includes: first and second high thermal conductivity insulating non-planar substrates; and multiple semiconductor chips and electronic components between the substrates. Each substrate includes multiple electrical insulator layers and patterned electrical conductor layers connecting to the electronic components, and further includes multiple raised regions or posts, which are bonded together so that the substrates are mechanically and electrically connected. The number, arrangement, and shape of the raised regions or posts are adjusted to have mechanical separation between the substrates. The electrical conductor layers are separated and isolated one another so that multiple electric circuits are provided on at least one of the substrates.

A micro-hotplate is provided in the form of a device comprising a sensor and one or more resistive heaters within the micro-hotplate arranged to heat the sensor. Furthermore a controller is provided for applying a bidirectional drive current to at least one of the heaters to reduce electromigration. The controller also serves to drive the heater at a substantially constant temperature. Such an arrangement is advantageous over an arrangement in which a unidirectional DC drive current is applied to the heater. This is because the unidirectional drive current causes electromigration which results in an increase in resistance over time. This is undesirable because it can lead to failure of the micro-hotplate. In contrast, the application of the bidirectional current reduces electromigration and as a result there is insignificant change in the resistance of the heater over time and under high temperature. This in turn improves the reliability of the micro-hotplate and therefore helps to improve the lifetime of the sensor
