20090146191LOW LEAKAGE SCHOTTKY CONTACT DEVICES AND METHOD - Method and apparatus are described for semiconductor devices. The method (06-11-2009
20100295100INTEGRATED CIRCUIT HAVING A BULK ACOUSTIC WAVE DEVICE AND A TRANSISTOR - A bulk GaN layer is on a first surface of a substrate, wherein the bulk GaN layer has a GaN transistor region and a bulk acoustic wave (BAW) device region. A source/drain layer is over a first surface of the bulk GaN layer in the GaN transistor region. A gate electrode is formed over the source/drain layer. A first BAW electrode is formed over the first surface of the bulk GaN layer in the BAW device region. An opening is formed in a second surface of the substrate, opposite the first surface of the substrate, which extends through the substrate and exposes a second surface of the bulk GaN layer, opposite the first surface of the bulk GaN layer. A second BAW electrode is formed within the opening over the second surface of the bulk GaN layer.11-25-2010
20110156051SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES WITH LOW LEAKAGE SCHOTTKY CONTACTS - Embodiments include semiconductor devices with low leakage Schottky contacts. An embodiment is formed by providing a partially completed semiconductor device including a substrate, a semiconductor on the substrate, and a passivation layer on the semiconductor, and using a first mask, locally etching the passivation layer to expose a portion of the semiconductor. Without removing the first mask, a Schottky contact is formed of a first material on the exposed portion of the semiconductor, and the first mask is removed. Using a further mask, a step-gate conductor of a second material electrically coupled to the Schottky contact is formed overlying parts of the passivation layer adjacent to the Schottky contact. By minimizing the process steps between opening the Schottky contact window in the passivation layer and forming the Schottky contact material in this window, the gate leakage of a resulting field effect device having a Schottky gate may be substantially reduced.06-30-2011

20090256576APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GROUND FAULT DETECTION AND LOCATION IN ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS - The present invention is implemented by deploying an enhanced ground fault detection and location apparatus and by using the apparatus in conjunction with specific circuit analysis methods, using the information generated by the ground fault detection and location apparatus. The ground fault detection and location apparatus comprises the functionality of a voltmeter, an ammeter, a phase angle meter, a frequency generator, and a variable power supply, thereby providing for a variety of signals and analyses to be performed on a unintentionally grounded circuit in an ungrounded AC or DC power distribution system. The ground fault detection and location apparatus is capable of operating in six different modes, with each mode providing a different capability or opportunity for detecting, analyzing, and locating one or more unintentionally grounded circuits in an normally ungrounded AC or DC power distribution system. Additionally, the present invention is configured to manipulate a ground fault current at a first target frequency and a second target frequency, thereby enabling more rapid and efficient location of ground faults.10-15-2009
