摘要:
An automotive drive system for a high voltage electric motor comprises a microcontroller and ECU powered by a low voltage (12 volt) bus net which controls the drives of a high voltage inverter powered by a 100 volt or higher source, which, in turn, drives the motor. To provide good electrical insulation between the low voltage and high voltage systems, the low voltage control signals are produced by a low voltage signal transmitter chip which has a small integral antenna which wirelessly communicates with the antenna of a high voltage driver IC which drives the power devices of the high voltage inverter. The two IC chips are separated by a suitable isolation distance and may be bare chips, individually packaged chips or co-packed chips. Plural control IC chips and driver IC chips can communicate with one another for adverse control functions, including “smart” functions.
摘要:
A process for forming an NPT IGBT in a thin N type silicon wafer in which the bottom surface of a thin silicon wafer (100 microns thick or less) has a shallow reduced lifetime region in its bottom formed by a light species atom implant to a depth of less than about 2.5 microns. A P+ transparent collector region about 0.5 microns deep is formed in the bottom of the damaged region by a boron implant. A collector contact of Al/Ti/NiV and Ag is sputtered onto the collector region and is annealed at 200° C. to 400° C. for 30 to 60 minutes. A pre-anneal step before applying the collector metal can be carried out in vacuum at 300° C. to 400° C. for 30 to 60 seconds.

A circuit and method for improving EMI noise performance in a bridgeless PFC boost converter. Such a converter comprises a boost inductor having a first end connected to a first AC input terminal and a second end connected to a first junction defined between the anode of a first diode and a first terminal of a first switch; a second terminal of the first switch connected to a common line; a parallel circuit of a capacitance and a load connected between the cathode of the first diode and the common line; a series circuit of a second diode and a second switch connected between the cathode of the first diode and the common line; and a second AC input terminal connected to a second junction defined between the anode of the second diode and the second switch. High-frequency EMI noise is bypassed by placing a first filter capacitor between the first AC terminal and the common line. A second boost inductor may be connected between the second AC input terminal and the second junction, and a second filter capacitor may be connected between the second AC terminal and the common line. The first and/or second filter capacitor has a lower impedance in a high frequency range than the corresponding first or second boost inductor. Preferably the first and second capacitors have substantially the same capacitance.

The semiconductor portion of a circuit includes a plurality of flip chip devices which are arranged in a planar fashion in a common housing. The plurality of flip chip devices are connected to each other without wire bonding. The common housing includes a packaging structure, the packaging structure including a connective portion and at least one web portion, which aids in the thermal management of the heat emitted by the plurality of flip chip devices and which connects the flip chip devices to each other. Passive devices in the circuit may also be arranged in a planar fashion in the common housing.
摘要:
A wafer containing a plurality of die separated by streets which are to be sawn has a nitride passivation layer which has openings over die contact locations and gaps leaving nitride strips along the streets. The gaps in the nitride along the streets expose an oxide, preferably TEOS. A nickel/gold plate contact material overlies the nitride layer and contacts the exposed die contact areas but does not adhere to either the nitride surface or the oxide surfaces. A saw blade can then cut along the streets without being gummed by the metalizing and without producing cracks which propagate into the die termination areas.

A trench type Schottky device has a guard ring diffusion of constant depth between the outermost of an active trench and an outer surrounding termination trench. The junction curvature of the guard ring diffusion is suppressed or cut out by the trenches.
摘要:
A power MOSFET is disclosed in which the source and drain regions are reversed from their usual positions and the drain is on the top of the chip (the surface containing the junction pattern diffusions) and the source is on the bottom of the chip. A plurality of spaced trenches are formed in the top surface. One group of trenches contain gate polysilicon and a gate oxide to control an invertible channel region along the trench. A second group of the trenches have a buried source contact at their bottoms which are connected between the N source material to the P channel region to short out a parasitic bipolar transistor.
摘要:
A top drain MOSFET has active trenches with an enlarged width at the top of each trench which has a thicker oxide than the gate oxide adjacent the channel region. The thicker oxide at the top of the trench reduces Qgd. The thicker oxide at the top of the active trench also reduces the electronic field in the drain drift region.
摘要:
A MOSgated trench device has a reduced on resistance by forming a less than about a 13 nm thick strained SiGe layer on the silicon surface of the trenches and forming a thin (30 nm or less) layer of epitaxially deposited silicon on the SiGe layer which epi layer is converted to a gate oxide layer. The conduction channel formed by the SiGe layer is permanently strained to increase its mobility particularly hole mobility.
摘要:
The gate oxide in the trenches of a trench type Schottky device are formed by oxidizing a layer of polysilicon deposited in trenches of a silicon or silicon carbide substrate. A small amount of the substrate is also oxidized to create a good interface between the substrate and the oxide layer which is formed. The corners of the trench are rounded by the initial formation and removal of a sacrificial oxide layer.
