    摘要: A resistor layout and method of forming the resistor are described which achieves improved resistor characteristics, such as resistor stability and voltage coefficient of resistance. A resistor is formed from a conducting material such as doped silicon or polysilicon. The resistor has a rectangular first resistor element, a second resistor element, a third resistor element, a fourth resistor element, and a fifth resistor element. A layer of protective dielectric is then formed over the first, second, and third resistor elements leaving the fourth and fifth resistor elements exposed. The conducting material in the exposed fourth and fifth resistor elements is then changed to a silicide, such as titanium silicide or cobalt silicide, using a silicidation process. The higher conductivity silicide forms low resistance contacts between the second and fourth resistor elements and between the third and fifth resistor elements. The second and third resistor elements are wider than the first resistor element and provide a low resistance contacts to the first resistor element, which is the main resistor element. This provides low voltage coefficient of resistance thermal process stability for the resistor.

    摘要: A method for making metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors having insulators with high-dielectric-constant and sandwiched between wide-band-gap insulators resulting in low leakage currents and high capacitance per unit area is achieved. The high-k layer increases the capacitance per unit area for next generation mixed-signal devices while the wide-band-gap insulators reduce leakage currents. In a second embodiment, a multilayer of different high-k materials is formed between the wide-band-gap insulators to substantially increase the capacitance per unit area. The layer materials and thicknesses are optimized to reduce the nonlinear capacitance dependence on voltage.

    摘要: Systems and methods for delivering real-time video imagery to a receiver over a channel. A current video frame is captured and digitized. The digitized frame is divided into a plurality of macroblocks. For each macroblock an intra, inter or skip mode coding mode is determined. Based on instantaneous feedback received from a receiver regarding successfully received video packets for a prior video frame, a quantization parameter is set and the macroblocks are encoded in accordance with their respective selected coding mode. Synchronized error concealment is performed at both the encoder and decoder sides of the system and retransmission of lost video packets, using an adaptive retransmission scheme, are performed in accordance with the instantaneous feedback from the receiver.

    摘要: A dynamic threshold voltage MOSFET to provide increase drain-to-source saturation current (I.sub.DSsat) and lower off current (I.sub.off) is described. The dynamic threshold voltage MOSFET has a first diffusion-well of a material of a first conductivity type formed at the surface of the substrate to form a bulk region. A source region and a drain region of a material of a second conductivity type are diffused into the diffusion-well. A first gate is then placed on a first oxide surface above the substrate between the source and drain regions. An accumulated base bipolar transistor is then placed on the semiconductor substrate. The base of the accumulated base bipolar transistor is connected to the gate, the emitter is connected to the diffusion-well. A resistor is connected between the emitter of the accumulated base bipolar transistor and a substrate biasing voltage source. A biasing circuit connected to the collector of the accumulated base bipolar transistor to provide a bias voltage for the accumulated base bipolar transistor.
