Title: Adrian Apostol: Innovator in Semiconductor Technology
Introduction
Adrian Apostol is a notable inventor based in Bucharest, Romania. He has made significant contributions to the field of semiconductor technology, holding 2 patents that showcase his innovative spirit and technical expertise.
Latest Patents
One of Adrian's latest patents is for a Smart Semiconductor Switch. This semiconductor device features a substrate that includes a vertical transistor with dopants of a first type. Each transistor cell has a body region formed in the substrate, which contains dopants of a second type. The body regions create first pn-junctions with the substrate. Additionally, a first well region is formed in the substrate, which also has dopants of a second type, forming a second pn-junction with the substrate. The switch connects this first well region to the body regions, while a second well region is formed in the substrate to create a third pn-junction. A detection circuit integrated into the second well region detects whether the first pn-junctions are reverse biased, allowing the switch to connect or disconnect the first well region(s) and the body regions of the transistor cell based on the biasing state.
Another significant patent is related to Current Control Circuits. This invention discloses a circuit, system, and method for controlling current. In one embodiment, the control circuit includes a first MOS transistor and a second MOS transistor. The first source/drains of both transistors are connected to the output of a power source, while their second source/drains are coupled to separate output nodes of the current control circuit. The design also incorporates a mechanism to block the flow of current between these output nodes, enhancing the efficiency and functionality of the circuit.
