摘要： A heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) is disclosed that includes successive emitter, base and collector and sub-collector epitaxial layers and emitter, base and collector contact metals contacting the emitter, base and sub-collector layers respectively. A passivation material is included that covers the uncovered portions of the layers and covers substantially all of the contact metals. The passivation material has a planar surface and a portion of each of the contact metals protrudes from the surface. Planar metals are included on the planar surface, each being isolated from the others and in electrical contact with a respective contact metal. A method for fabricating an HBT is also disclosed, wherein successive emitter, base, collector and sub-collector epitaxial layers are deposited on a substrate, with the substrate being adjacent to the sub-collector layer. The epitaxial layers are etched to provide locations for contact metals and emitter, base and contact metals are deposited on the emitter, base and sub-collector epitaxial layers, respectively. A self-alignment material is deposited on the surface of the substrate around the epitaxial layers and a planarization material is deposited on and covers the top surface of the HBT. The planarization material is then etched so it has a planar surface about the same level as the surface of the self-alignment material and the contact metals protrude from the planar surface. The planar metals are then deposited over the protruding portions of the contact metals.

摘要： According to one exemplary embodiment, a BiFET situated on a substrate comprises an emitter layer segment situated over the substrate, where the emitter layer segment comprises a semiconductor of a first type. The HBT further comprises a first segment of an etch stop layer, where the first segment of the etch stop layer comprises InGaP. The BiFET further comprises a FET situated over the substrate, where the FET comprises source and drain regions, where a second segment of the etch stop layer is situated under the source and drain regions, and where the second segment of the etch stop layer comprises InGaP. The FET further comprises a semiconductor layer of a second type situated under the second segment of the etch stop layer. The etch stop layer increases linearity of the FET and does not degrade electron current flow in the HBT.

摘要： Methods and systems for dropping and/or adding phases in multiphase regulators according to various aspects of the present invention may operate in conjunction with multiple output circuits configured to deliver power to a load and a controller. The controller may be connected to each of the output circuits, such as to drive the output circuits. The controller may be adapted to selectively disable and/or enable phases. For example, the controller may disable one output circuit without disabling another output circuit. In addition, the controller may smoothly reduce the power delivered to the load by the output circuit prior to disabling it, for example to control output glitches.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for a multiphase power regulator according various aspects of the present invention operate in conjunction with an active transient response (ATR) system for applying a correction signal to a multiphase pulse width modulator. In the event of a transient, the ATR system may adjust the output of the pulse width modulator to quickly respond to load requirements. The output may be modified by adding pulses, blanking pulses, advancing pulses, and scaling pulses to one or more phases.
