    Abstract: A method and apparatus for substantially canceling the effects of temperature on the electrical performance of Field Effect Transistor (FET) integrated circuits (IC's) by exploiting a subtle feature of an epitaxial resistor implemented in an FET process. Specifically, the invention takes advantage of two constituent epitaxial resistor components having resistances that vary monotonically in opposite directions as functions of temperature. The invention includes a method for selecting the geometry of such an epitaxial resistor to give it either temperature invariance or a specific, useful functional temperature dependence.

    Abstract: A focal plane array for millimeter wave imaging comprising a three dimensional stack of antenna elements and radiometer microwave monolithic integrated circuits (MMICs) embedded in polymer dielectric layers built on top of a silicon substrate. Each radiometer MMIC and antenna element comprise a radiometer pixel. The silicon substrate contains integrated circuits to collect and process the signals from each radiometer pixel and generate a full-frame video signal. The array can be fabricated on a single silicon wafer or can be constructed from structures fabricated on multiple silicon wafers.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus of substantially canceling the effects of temperature on the electrical performance of Field Effect Transistor (FET) integrated circuits (IC's) by exploiting a subtle feature of an epitaxial resistor implemented in an FET process. Specifically, the invention takes advantage of two constituent epitaxial resistor components having resistances that vary monotonically in opposite directions as functions of temperature. The essential components include: a plurality of ohmic contacts (100), and an isolated semi-conductor channel (102) residing in a layered semiconductor. The resistance of the epitaxial resistor R of the invention is comprised of an aggregate of resistances (FIG. 1c). The invention includes a method for selecting the geometry of such an epitaxial resistor to give it either temperature invariance or a specific, useful functional temperature dependence.
