20110163352 | MONOLITHIC MULTI-CHANNEL ESD PROTECTION DEVICE - A semiconductor device is described that includes one or more electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuits. Each circuit comprises reverse-biased steering diodes connected in series between power rail and signal ground, a bypass Zener diode and a substrate Zener diode. The Zener diodes provide ESD protection and the steering diode cooperate with the substrate Zener diode to provide a bypass function that is substantially symmetric about the signal ground. Noise in the circuit can be shunted using internal and/or external capacitances that can be implemented as Zener diodes. | 07-07-2011 |
20090236690 | WIRE BOND AND REDISTRIBUTION LAYER PROCESS - A semiconductor device comprises a copper redistribution line, a copper inductor and aluminum wire bond pads and the integration of the resulting device with an integrated circuit on a single chip, resulting in the decreased size of the chip. | 09-24-2009 |
