Abstract:
A circuit structure includes a substrate and a patterned dielectric layer over the substrate. The patterned dielectric layer includes a plurality of vias; and a number of group-III group-V (III-V) compound semiconductor layer. The III-V compound semiconductor layers include a first layer in the vias, a second layer over the first layer and the dielectric layer, and a bulk layer over the second layer.
Abstract:
A semiconductor structure includes a substrate, a first III-V compound layer over the substrate, one or more sets of III-V compound layers over the first III-V compound layer, a second III-V compound layer over the one or more sets of III-V compound layers, and an active layer over the second III-V compound layer. The first III-V compound layer has a first type doping. Each of the one or more sets of III-V compound layers includes a lower III-V compound layer and an upper III-V compound layer over the lower III-V compound layer. The upper III-V compound layer having the first type doping, and the lower III-V compound layer is at least one of undoped, unintentionally doped having a second type doping, or doped having the second type doping. The second III-V compound layer is either undoped or unintentionally doped having the second type doping.
Abstract:
A circuit structure includes a substrate, a nucleation layer of undoped aluminum nitride, a graded buffer layer comprising aluminum, gallium, nitrogen, one of silicon and oxygen, and a p-type conductivity dopant, a ungraded buffer layer comprising gallium, nitrogen, one of silicon and oxygen, and a p-type conductivity dopant without aluminum, and a bulk layer of undoped gallium nitride over the ungraded buffer layer. The various dopants in the graded buffer layer and the ungraded buffer layer increases resistivity and results in layers having an intrinsically balanced conductivity.
Abstract:
An island submount used for carrying at least one light-emitting element having at least one electrical contact. The island submount includes a substrate, at least one island structure having a top surface and an inclined surface, and a conductive layer. The island structure is located on the substrate and corresponds to the electrical contact. The conductive layer is formed on the surface of the island structure and at least covers the top surface, so as to be electrically connected with the electrical contact. The island submount is capable of enhancing the light extraction efficiency of the light-emitting element, and avoids the energy loss due to re-absorption when the light emerging from below the light-emitting element is reflected back to the light-emitting element.
Abstract:
An electronic device and a method for protecting against a differential power analysis attack are disclosed herein. The electronic device includes an encryption/decryption unit, a random number generator and a countermeasure circuit. The encryption/decryption unit can provide an enable signal when encrypting or decrypting more bits of data. The random number generator can generate random data. When receiving the enable signal, the countermeasure circuit can operate according to the bits of data and the random data.
