摘要:
A HIGFET having a gate with a pad which is isolated from the FET heterostructure wafer by a dielectric layer to minimize leakage current between the gate and the wafer. The method of production of this device involves application of the gate metal only over the active area of the FET and a photo resist covering on the gate metal. The wafer, including the area covered by the photo resist, is covered with the dielectric layer. The photo resist layer is removed along with the dielectric layer from over the gate metal. Another layer of gate metal is formed on the preexisting gate metal including a gate pad on part of the remaining dielectric layer.

Simple and efficient electronic circuits and methods are disclosed for better use of parallel optical interconnect system transmitting a plurality of dc NRZ data and an independent clock signal. The present invention dynamically compensates for the effects of the substrate temperature and aging behavior of the light emitters at both the transmitter and the receiver. In addition, a special arrangement of light emitters is used to reduce or avoid skew problems.

Photodiodes are integrally formed with vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) and superluminescent light emitting diodes (SLEDs) for monitoring optical radiation intensities. In different embodiments, the photodiode is epitaxially formed within a mirror of a VCSEL, non-epitaxially formed on top of a VCSEL, non-epitaxially formed on side of a VCSEL, or formed on the substrate on the side opposite the VCSEL. A lateral injection vertical cavity surface emitting laser is also disclosed for integration with a lateral PIN photodiode. A photodiode having the same epitaxial layers as a VCSEL is also integrally formed alongside of the VCSEL. Similar devices using SLEDs are also disclosed.

摘要:
A HIGFET having a gate pad situated over a non conducting portion of the channel layer of the heterostructure wafer. The method of producing this device involves application of a very thin layer of gate metal on the wafer to protect the wafer surface during further processing. A photoresist coating is formed over the active area of the channel layer of the FET. An ion isolation implantation is applied to the wafer resulting in a non conducting portion of the channel layer that is not covered by the photoresist layer. The photoresist layer is removed and a thick layer of gate metal is applied on the thin layer of gate metal. The gate layers are fashioned into a pad over the non conducting portion of the channel layer and at least one finger over the conducting portion of the channel layer, resulting in the gate having minimized parasitic gate capacitance.

A voltage controlled oscillator (VCO 10) is disclosed in a "ring" configuration using two FETs. Two isolated voltage control terminals provide increased tuning bandwidth. The design uses an active feedback topology resulting in greater device size for higher output power and circuit Q.
摘要:
A monolthically integrated VCSEL and photodetector, and a method of manufacturing same, are disclosed for applications where the VCSEL and photodetector require separate operation such as duplex serial data communications applications. A first embodiment integrates a VCSEL with an MSM photodetector on a semi-insulating substrate. A second embodiment builds the layers of a p-i-n photodiode on top of layers forming a VCSEL using a standard VCSEL process. The p-i-n layers are etched away in areas where VCSELs are to be formed and left where the photodetectors are to be formed. The VCSELs underlying the photodetectors are inoperable, and serve to recirculate photons back into the photodetector not initially absorbed. The transmit and receive pairs are packaged in a single package for interface to multifiber ferrules. The distance between the devices is precisely defined photolithographically, thereby making alignment easier.

An on-airway breath-by-breath oxygen sensor is described which has the necessary low weight, fast response and high precision required for oxygen consumption measurement. A vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) is continuously tuned to emit light at the resonance of oxygen, or more generally, the molecular species of interest. The light beam is directed through a sample containing the molecular species of interest onto a detector. The amount of light absorbed is approximately proportional to the concentration of the molecular species of interest in the sample.
