摘要:
A semiconductor integrated circuit has a semiconductor output device (3) , a sensor (5) generating an electric signal (7) relevant to heat generation (6) of the output device (3) and a microprocessor unit MPU 2, inside a chip (1). The MPU (2) is constructed of a memory (20) and CPU (22). The electric signal (7) generated from the sensor (5) is processed by the CPU (22) in accordance with a stored program of the memory (20). Accordingly, the drivability of the semiconductor output device (3) can be set in an optimum state corresponding to changes in chip temperature including changes that are only momentary.
摘要:
A method of fabricating semiconductor devices which include vertical elements and control elements. A well is formed by etching in a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type, and a first epitaxial layer having a second conductivity type opposite to the first conductivity type is epitaxially grown, followed by etching and/or grinding and/or polishing to fill said well. Further, a second epitaxial layer of the first conductivity type is epitaxially grown on the substrate and on the first epitaxial layer, and an impurity-doped layer of the second conductivity type for isolation is formed in the second epitaxial layer to penetrate therethrough. A first element is formed in the second epitaxial layer in a portion that corresponds to the well, and a second element having a vertical structure and having a current capability higher than that of the first element is formed except a portion of the second epitaxial layer that corresponds to the well.
摘要:
A switching circuit has switching elements for passing-through or cutting-off signals of a positive pulse, which is a rectangular pulse rising from a low level and falling after having kept a high level for a certain time as a high voltage input signal, and a negative pulse, which is a rectangular pulse falling from a high level and rising after having kept a low level for a certain time, the switching circuit being applied to a capacitive load driving device.
