| 20100156388 | CASCODE CURRENT MIRROR AND METHOD - Embodiments of a cascode amplifier (CA) include a bottom transistor with a relatively thin gate dielectric and higher ratio of channel length to width and a series coupled top transistor with a relatively thick gate dielectric and a lower ratio of channel length to width. A cascode current mirror (CCM) is formed using a coupled pair of CAs, one forming the reference current (RC) side and the other forming the mirror current side of the CCM. The gates of the bottom transistors are tied together and to the common node between the series coupled bottom and top transistors of the RC side, and the gates of the top transistors are coupled together and to the top drain node of the RC side. The area of the CCM can be substantially shrunk without adverse affect on the matching, noise performance and maximum allowable operating voltage. | 06-24-2010 |

| 20110147893 | BIPOLAR TRANSISTORS WITH HUMP REGIONS - By providing a novel bipolar device design implementation, a standard CMOS process can be used unchanged to fabricate useful bipolar transistors and other bipolar devices having adjustable properties by partially blocking the P or N well doping used for the transistor base. This provides a hump-shaped base region with an adjustable base width, thereby achieving, for example, higher gain than can be obtained with the unmodified CMOS process alone. By further partially blocking the source/drain doping step used to form the emitter of the bipolar transistor, the emitter shape and effective base width can be further varied to provide additional control over the bipolar device properties. The embodiments thus include prescribed modifications to the masks associated with the bipolar device that are configured to obtain desired device properties. The CMOS process steps and flow are otherwise unaltered and no additional process steps are required. | 06-23-2011 |
