    Abstract: Viewing angle characteristics of a liquid crystal display (LCD) (112) are improved by reducing the number of subpixels in an image with mid-tone luminance values. In a preferred embodiment, a first table of entries associating subpixel intensity values and subpixel luminance values for a LCD in at least one viewing angle direction is provided. A target intensity value is determined from the first table, corresponding to the average subpixel luminance over a small number of adjacent subpixels. A second table of entries associates the target intensity values with intensity values above and below the target. The adjacent subpixel intensity values are modified according to the second table, thereby reducing the number of subpixels with mid-tone luminance values. The subpixel data is preferably processed within a portion of an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) (303), contained within the display module (112-2).

    Abstract: UNPINNED OXIDE-COMPOUND SEMICONDUCTOR STRUCTURES AND METHOD OF FORMING SAME Unpinned epitaxial metal-oxide-compound semiconductor structures are disclosed and a method of fabricating such structures is described. Epitaxial layers of compound semiconductor are grown by MBE which result in the formation of a smooth surface having a stabilized reconstruction. An elemental semiconductor layer is deposited epitaxially in situ with the compound semiconductor layer which unpins the surface Fermi level. A layer of insulator material is then deposited on the elemental semiconductor layer by PECVD. In one embodiment, the compound semiconductor is GaAs and the elemental semiconductor is Si. The insulator material is a layer of high quality SiO2. A metal gate is deposited on the SiO2 layer to form an MOS device. The epitaxial GaAs layer has a density of states which permits the interface Fermi level to be moved through the entire forbidden energy gap. In another embodiment, the SiO2 deposition completely consumes the interface Si layer so that the resulting MOS device comprises SiO2 directly overlying the GaAs layer. Y0988-028

    Abstract: Mode Selection Layer for Semiconductor Device A field effect transistor structure suitable for use in an array of such structures disposed on a common substrate is formed with a source terminal, a drain terminal, and a gate terminal upon an upper surface of a semiconductor chip. The chip includes a first layer and a second layer, the first layer being grown epitaxially upon the second layer. The first layer forms a part of the gate terminal and the second layer includes a charge conduction channel coupling the source terminal and the drain terminal. A pocket layer is disposed in the second layer beneath the terminals of the transistor structure and is doped with either an donor dopant or an acceptor dopant for altering the electric field at the conduction channel to insert electrons or remove electrons therefrom so as to convert an operating mode from either an enhancement mode to a depletion mode or from a depletion mode to an enchancement made. A substrate with a terminal on the backside thereof may be placed contiguous the bottom of said second layer, the back terminal being applied to a negative source of voltage for a transistor structure of n-channel format. The semiconductor material of the chip is a obtained from compounds of elements of the groups III and V of the periodic table.

    Abstract: YO986-100 GERMANIUM CHANNEL SILICON MOSFET An alloy layer comprising germanium and silicon is grown on top of a silicon substrate. The alloy layer is kept thin enough for proper pseudomorphic, dislocation free growth. A layer of silicon is applied to the alloy layer. The initial silicon layer is from two to three times as thick as the alloy layer. Approximately the upper two-thirds of the silicon layer is oxidized, either thermally, anodically or by plasma anodization. The silicon layer that remains between the silicon dioxide and the alloy layer is kept thin enough so that a parasitic channel does not form on the interface between the silicon and the silicon dioxide. The germanium alloyed channel is thus suitably bounded by silicon crystalline structures on both of the channel layer surfaces. The barrier heights between silicon dioxide and silicon are very large thus providing good carrier confinement. A suitably applied voltage will result in a region of high mobility charge carriers at the interface between the alloy layer and the upper silicon layer.
