摘要： A method and apparatus for use in a digitally tuning a capacitor in an integrated circuit device is described. A Digitally Tuned Capacitor DTC is described which facilitates digitally controlling capacitance applied between a first and second terminal. In some embodiments, the first terminal comprises an RF+ terminal and the second terminal comprises an RF- terminal. In accordance with some embodiments, the DTCs comprise a plurality of sub-circuits ordered in significance from least significant bit (LSB) to most significant bit (MSB) sub-circuits, wherein the plurality of significant bit sub-circuits are coupled together in parallel, and wherein each sub-circuit has a first node coupled to the first RF terminal, and a second node coupled to the second RF terminal. The DTCs further include an input means for receiving a digital control word, wherein the digital control word comprises bits that are similarly ordered in significance from an LSB to an MSB. Each significant bit of the digital control word is coupled to corresponding and associated significant bit sub-circuits of the DTC, and thereby controls switching operation of the associated sub-circuit. DTCs are implemented using unit cells, wherein the LSB sub-circuit comprises a single unit cell. Next significant bit sub-circuits comprise x instantiations of the number of unit cells used to implement its associated and corresponding previous significant bit sub-circuit, wherein the value x is dependent upon a weighting coding used to weight the significant bit sub-circuits of the DTC. DTCs may be weighted in accordance with a binary code, thermometer code, a combination of the two, or any other convenient and useful code. In many embodiments, the unit cell comprises a plurality of stacked FETs in series with a capacitor. The unit cell may also include a plurality of gate resistors R G coupled to the gates of the stacked FETs, and a plurality of R DS resistors coupled across the drain and source of the stacked FETs. The stacked FETs improve the power handling capabilities of the DTC, allowing it meet or exceed high power handling requirements imposed by current and future communication standards.

摘要： The invention relates to a digitally adjustable electronic capacitor which can be digitally controlled, tuned in a large capacity range across several magnitudes independently of the voltage available, integrated into circuits and produced economically without requiring the use of monolithic semiconductor crystals. The invention consists of a support and printed conductor levels which are isolated from each other, turned towards each other at a certain angle, preferably 90 °, and within each level have conductive printed conductors which are isolated from each other. A capacitor is configured between the printed conductors of the different levels. A digital electronic control element is assigned to each printed conductor level. The printed conductors of each printed conductor level can be connected independently of each other to an electrode via the digital electronic control element assigned to each printed conductor level. At least two printed conductors situated on different conductor levels are linked to the corresponding electrodes by means of the digital electronic control element. The selected capacitor is available at the level of the electrodes.

Additionally, other metal based redox materials whose conductivity changes as a function of the movement of ions into or out of the material can be used in the construction of microelectronic devices, for example, Prussion Blue, Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3. ''Metal ion-based microelectrochemical devices'' encompasses all devices based on an inorganic redox active material which incorporate an active ''gate'' region or ''channel'', or exhibit rectification. Included in this classification are devices analogous to diodes, field effect transistors, p-n-p transistors, and n-p-n transistors, and pH sensors, among others.

摘要： Several types of new microelectronic devices including diodes, transistors, sensors, surface energy storage elements, and light-emitting devices are disclosed. The properties of these devices can be controlled by molecular-level changes in electroactive polymer components. These polymer components are formed from electrochemically polymerizable material whose physical properties change in response to chemical changes. Examples of such materials include polymers which respond to changes in redox potential. Very stable, polymer-based electrochemical devices which are durable in an aqueous electrolyte over a wide pH range and which respond rapidly to chemical or electrical signals are formed by polymerization of thiophene or a derivative such as 3-methylthiophene. In one embodi ment, the device functions as an extremely sensitive sensor which measures changes in chemical concentration or pH. For example. a poly-3-methylthiophene-based device is sensitive to as little as 8 x 10- 16 moles of an oxidant which reversibly interacts with the polymer, including gas phase oxidants such as I 2 . In a variation of the polymer-based device, a catalyst such as a noble metal or an enzyme is dispersed on or within the conducting polymer matrix so that the device is responsive to chemicals such as H 2 and O 2 which the polymer would otherwise respond very slowly to. In another embodiment, a polymer-based electrochromic device consists of individually adressable microelectrodes coated with a polymer whose optical properties change in response to chemical or electrical signals. Very high resolution is achieved by separating the microelectrodes by distances on the order of 10,000 Angstroms. In still another embodiment, the polymer-based device functions as a capacitor with an energy density as high as 200-300 J cm 3 which can operate at frequencies as high as 100 Hz when the device is formed from a polymer of thiophene or a thiophene derivative. These very small, specific, sensitive devices provide means for interfacing electrical and chemical systems while consuming very little power, and may be incorporated into conventional integrated circuit designs.

摘要： A novel semiconductor variable capacitor is presented. The semiconductor structure is simple and is based on a semiconductor variable MOS capacitor structure suitable for integrated circuits, which has at least three terminals, one of which is used to modulate the equivalent capacitor area of the MOS structure by increasing or decreasing its DC voltage with respect to another terminal of the device, in order to change the capacitance over a wide ranges of values. Furthermore, the present invention decouples the AC signal and the DC control voltage avoiding distortion and increasing the performance of the device, such as its control characteristic. The present invention is simple and only slightly dependent on the variations due to the fabrication process. It exhibits a high value of capacitance density and, if opportunely implemented, shows a linear dependence of the capacitance value with respect to the voltage of its control terminal.

摘要： A small variable capacitor includes a movable section (11) composed of a movable electrode (6) supported by a supporting section (10). A driving electrode (7) and a detecting electrode (8) are provided facing the movable electrode (6). When an external bias voltage is applied between the movable electrode (6) and the driving electrode (7), Coulomb force is generated between them. Due to that, the movable section (11) is attracted toward the driving electrode (7) while keeping a balance between its own resilience force and the Coulomb force. At this time, part of the movable section (11) facing the detecting element is displaced more than the other part of the movable section (11) facing the driving electrode (7). Thereby, because an electrostatic capacity between the movable section (11) and the detecting electrode (8) is inversely proportional to the average distance, a large electrostatic capacity may be obtained and variability of the electrostatic capacity becomes large.
