Abstract: A modularized capacitor array includes a plurality of capacitor modules. Each capacitor module includes a capacitor and a switching device that is configured to electrically disconnect the capacitor. The switching device includes a sensing unit configured to detect the level of leakage of the capacitor so that the switching device disconnects the capacitor electrically if the leakage current exceeds a predetermined level. Each capacitor module can include a single capacitor plate, two capacitor plates, or more than two capacitor plates. The leakage sensors and switching devices are employed to electrically disconnect any capacitor module of the capacitor array that becomes leaky, thereby protecting the capacitor array from excessive electrical leakage.

Abstract: A SOI BiCMOS integrated circuit has CMOS devices formed in a thin epitaxial layer of 1000 ANGSTROM and bipolar devices formed in a thick epitaxial layer of 1 mu m, the two thicknesses being formed by a process in which a set of oxide islands are formed on a first wafer; an epitaxial layer is grown from bipolar silicon regions up and over the islands in a step that forms the bottom portion of the bipolar regions; the first wafer is inverted and oxide- bonded to a second wafer with the newly grown epitaxial layer below the islands so that the new top surface has a high quality epitaxial layer; excess silicon is removed from the new surface and the surface is polished to a thickness of 1000 ANGSTROM over the islands by use of a nitride polish stop layer, leaving a thick layer of epitaxial silicon of 1 mu m in the bipolar regions and a 1000 ANGSTROM thick layer of epitaxial silicon in the CMOS regions.

Abstract: An electronic structure that has in-situ formed unit resistors and a method for fabricating such structure are disclosed. The electronic structure that has in-situ formed unit resistors consists of a first plurality of conductive elements formed in an insulating material layer, a plurality of electrically resistive vias formed on top and in electrical communication with at least one of the first plurality of conductive elements, and a second plurality of conductive elements formed on top of and in electrical communication with at least one of the plurality of electrically resistive vias. The present invention novel structure may further be formed in a multi-level configuration such that multi-level resistors may be connected in-series to provide larger resistance values. The present invention novel structure may further be combined with a capacitor network to form desirable RC circuits.

Abstract: A body and dual gate coupled diode for silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology is disclosed. The body and dual gate coupled diode is formed from a SOI field-effect transistor (FET) structure. The source of the SOI FET structure forms the first terminal of the diode. The drain of the SOI FET structure forms the second terminal of the diode. The SOI FET structure includes two gates, which are tied to the body of the SOI FET structure. An SOI circuit comprising at least one body and dual gate coupled diode formed from the SOI FET structure provides electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection.
