    • A power diode having substantially no reverse-recovery time and relatively high conductance. The power diode is a majority carrier semiconductor having a structure that is similar to that of a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET), in that it includes a source, a drain, a gate, and a body. In one embodiment, to increase conductance of the power diode, a linked-cell configuration that reverses the geometry of a conventional cell-type MOSFET is employed, thereby increasing the width of a conductance channel over that of a conventional MOSFET, and compensating for a relatively low level of inversion in the channel region. Negative and positive feedback circuits are used to further improve the conductance of the power diode by dynamically setting a bias voltage applied between the gate and the source to a level just below a threshold voltage. In the positive feedback circuit, the magnitude of the bias voltage is greater than the threshold voltage if the power diode is forward biased, but substantially reduced if the power diode is reverse biased, thereby minimizing its turn-on delay without risking reverse conductance. Although separate components are used for biasing the device in the disclosed embodiments, it is contemplated that these components be integrated on a common substrate with the source, drain, and gate in a commercially practiced preferred embodiment. Another embodiment employs a charge carrier region diffused into the body and at least in part underlying the gate. This region provides a variable threshold voltage along the channel and reduces the effective length of the channel to increase its conductance. A threshold voltage ranges between a higher value, V.sub.TMAX, adjacent the source, to a lower value, V.sub.T, elsewhere in the device.
    • 功率二极管基本上没有反向恢复时间和相对高的电导率。 功率二极管是具有类似于金属氧化物半导体场效应晶体管(MOSFET)的结构的多数载流子半导体,其包括源极,漏极,栅极和主体。 在一个实施例中,为了增加功率二极管的电导,采用反转常规电池型MOSFET的几何形状的连接电池配置,从而增加电导通道的宽度超过常规MOSFET的宽度,并补偿 通道区域反相水平相对较低。 负和正反馈电路用于通过将施加在栅极和源极之间的偏置电压动态地设置到刚好低于阈值电压的电平来进一步提高功率二极管的电导。 在正反馈电路中,如果功率二极管正向偏置,则偏置电压的大小大于阈值电压,但如果功率二极管被反向偏置,则极大地减小,从而使其导通延迟最小化,而不会产生反向导通风险。 虽然在所公开的实施例中使用单独的部件来偏置器件,但是可以设想,在商业上实践的优选实施例中,这些部件在源极,漏极和栅极上集成在公共衬底上。 另一个实施例采用扩散到体内并至少部分地位于栅极下方的电荷载体区域。 该区域沿着通道提供可变的阈值电压并且减小通道的有效长度以增加其电导。 阈值电压范围在与源相邻的较高值VTMAX之间,设备的其他位置的VT值较低。

Sensors have a capillary substrate in which at least a portion of the inside surface of the capillary is provided with an SPR-sensing area. Samples for analysis are introduced into the capillary cavity. SPR is measured by radially illuminated the capillary SPR-sensing area with light having a TM-polarized component. Light reflected from the SPR-sensing area exiting radially from the capillary is detected at selected angles to obtain reflectivity as a function of incidence angle to determine RI of the sample in the vicinity of the SPR-sensing area. The capillary geometry is readily adaptable to simultaneous measurement of several optical properties of a given sample in addition to SPR by radial and/or axial illumination of the sample. Multisensors with capillary geometry which simultaneously measure SPR and bulk RI are provided.

    • The present invention provides SPR sensors in which the sensing element is a planar lightpipe. The sensors of this invention include configurations which employ multiwavelength light incident on the SPR sensing area at a single angle or at a range of angles. Sensors of this invention also include configurations that employ monochromatic light at a range of angles. Many of the configurations of the SPR lightpipe sensors of this invention involve imaging of input light through the lightpipe. In one embodiment, the invention provides a first order SPR sensor system in which the sensing element is a planar lightpipe. Light coupled into the lightpipe reflects off an SPR sensing area positioned on an external surface planar surface of the lightpipe. Multiwavelength light that is coupled into the lightpipe input face at a range of angles propagates through the lightpipe by total internal reflection (TIR), making multiple reflections, and exits in a series of angular bands each containing spectral information (including SPR features)for a small range of incidence angles. A detector or detectors are positioned to measure the reflection spectrum, including any surface plasmon resonance feature, of one or preferably more than one of the angular bands exiting the lightpipe. SPR sensor configurations include those that have multiple sensing channels and those which can be multiplexed. This invention provides SPR sensors with planar lightpipe sensing elements and method of detecting analytes in samples using these sensors. The invention also provides planar lightpipe that have a plurality of SPR sensing layers on a planar surface.

    • This disclosure describes new methods and devices for sensing redox-active analytes in solution. The invention combines a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor and a chemical electrode sensor. A conducting layer which supports SPR is attached to a voltage source. The voltage source is also connected to a reference electrode, which is in the aqueous solution with the SPR sensor. As the voltage is varied, the analytes undergo oxidation and reduction at the surface of the conducting film. The current is measured, just as it would be in a standard chemical electrode, with current peaks appearing at different potentials indicating different ions in the solution. Unlike a standard chemical electrode, the surface of the conducting film is also used to excite a surface plasmon wave (SPW). The SPW provides new information which is not available from any standard chemical electrode, such as the effective index of refraction at the surface of the conducting film as the analytes are being oxidized and/or reduced. This additional source of information can be used to minimize the effects of overlapping stripping peaks and interspecies compound formation as well as determine the thickness of surface layers during measurements. Additionally, the simultaneous determination of reaction properties and optical properties of reaction products can provide additional information about the aqueous support solution such as the quantity and types of natural oxidants in solution, such as oxygen or hydroxides. The formation of oxides and hydroxides will lead to measurably different optical properties.
