Latest Patents
Among his latest patents is a versatile system for optimizing current gain in bipolar transistor structures. This invention discloses apparatus and methods for designing electrical contact for a bipolar emitter structure. The area of an emitter structure and the required current density throughput of an electrical contact structure are determined. A required electrical contact area is established based on the necessary current density, and the electrical contact structure is designed to minimize the required electrical contact area concerning the emitter structure area. Another notable patent is for an LDMOS power device with oversized dwell. This LDMOS device is fabricated using minimal feature size methods, overcoming potential misalignment issues. The Dwell is slightly overstated, allowing its n-type dopant to be implanted past the source edge of the gate region, which permits the n-type region of the Dwell to diffuse under the gate region sufficiently to eliminate misalignment effects.
