Latest Patents
One of Van Dijk's latest patents focuses on "Integrating silicon-BJT to a silicon-germanium-HBT manufacturing process." This specification discloses methods for integrating a SiGe-based HBT (heterojunction bipolar transistor) and a Si-based BJT (bipolar junction transistor) together in a single manufacturing process that does not add a lot of process complexity. An integrated circuit can be fabricated utilizing such a streamlined manufacturing process. In some embodiments, such an integrated circuit can enjoy both the benefits of a higher RF (radio frequency) performance for the SiGe HBT and a lower leakage current for the Si-based BJT. Additionally, this integrated circuit can be applied to an ESD (electrostatic discharge) clamp circuit, in order to achieve a lower, or no, yield-loss.
Another significant patent involves "Manufacturing a MEMS element having cantilever and cavity on a substrate." This method describes the manufacturing of a capacitor on a substrate, which includes a first electrode and a second electrode, separated by a cavity. The substrate features an insulating surface layer, with the first electrode arranged on this layer. A first metal body serves as an anchor for the second electrode, which is designed as a beam-shaped body located above the first electrode. The cavity is laterally demarcated by the sidewall of the first metal body.
