    摘要: A single evaluation portion is formed by disposing a plurality of MIS transistors used for evaluation having substantially the same structure as that of an actually used MIS transistor. In the evaluation portion, the respective source regions, drain regions, and gate electrodes of the MIS transistors used for evaluation are electrically connected in common to a source pad, a drain pad, and a gate pad, respectively. If the effective gate width of the single evaluation portion exceeds a given value, variations in characteristics evaluated by the evaluation portion approach variations in the characteristics of the entire semiconductor device. The accuracy of evaluating the characteristics of the semiconductor device can thus be improved by using the evaluation portion.

    摘要: A semiconductor device implemented using a transistor (Q1) including at least one emitter (E1) and a transistor (Q2) which is larger than the transistor (Q1) including n emitters (E21 to E2n) each having the same area as the emitter (E1) of the transistor (Q1). The emitter (E1) of the transistor (Q1) is disposed between the emitters (E21 to E2n) of the transistor (Q2). When there is deflection of a substrate due to a stress to cause distortion in shape of the emitters, the emitter (E1) has much less distortion in shape than the emitters located on the end portions of the row region in the longitudinal direction. Since the transistor (Q2) has a number of emitters, the distortion in shape of the emitters (E21 to E2n) of the transistor (Q2), if any, has little effect on the whole.

    摘要: Boron is diffused into selected areas of each main face of an N silicon substrate and gallium is diffused into the entire main face to form a P-N junction including deeper portions alternating shallower portion. Selective etching is effected to form grooves in the shallower junction portions for dividing the P-N junction. Both main faces of the substrate except for the grooves are metallized and a passivation layer is applied to each groove. Alternatively, in order to form the P-N junction as above described, gallium is selectively diffused in the substrate followed by a further diffusion of the gallium.

    摘要: A technique is disclosed which facilitates the layout of op amp cells, for example, two-stage op amp cells or three-stage op amp cells, to provide larger operational amplifiers. In accordance with one aspect, the op amp cells can be suitably coupled in parallel to provide a larger operational amplifier. This paralleling aspect can be facilitated by connecting the respective negative and positive inputs of a predetermined number of input gm stages together, connecting the outputs of a predetermined number of output gm stages together, and connecting a predetermined number of intermediate internal nodes between the input gm stages and the output gm stages together, without the occurrence of saturation of the internal nodes. In addition, the input and output characteristics of operational amplifier can be suitably improved. Further, the plurality of op amp cells can be selectively configurable to be connected in parallel with other op amp cells through the use of, for example, manual switches or other suitable electrical contacts, jumpers and the like, or programmable switches. Moreover, the op amp cells can be suitably configured in various arrangements, such as a two-stage cell having a first gm stage with a single-ended output, a two-stage cell having a first gm stage with a differential output, or a three-stage op amp cell. As a result, the method of the present invention can provide a substantial advantage in the design of integrated circuits in which the development costs are high, and multiple custom mask sets are too expensive to be practical.
