Abstract: An n-type buried layer and an n-type epitaxial layer that becomes a collector layer of a pnp transistor are formed on a semiconductor substrate. A well and the collector layer are formed. Ions of an n-type impurity are implanted through a photoresist mask, to form an intrinsic base layer of the pnp transistor and a PT-VT diffusion layer with punchthrough stopper and threshold control functions of a pMOSFET. Ions of a p-type impurity are implanted through a photoresist mask at a shallow implantation depth than the previous step, to form an intrinsic base layer of an npn transistor and a channel dope layer of the pMOSFET. A buried channel is formed under the gate of the pMOSFET. Therefore pMOSFETs with good characteristics can be obtained. In this way, the present invention achieves bipolar transistors and MOSFETs with good characteristics, without having to increase the number of fabrication steps and the number of photoresist masks.

Abstract: In a speech coding device for coding an input speech (So) with an AbS (Analysis by Synthesis) system, a vocal tract prediction coefficient generating circuit (201) produces a vocal tract prediction coefficient (a) from one of the input speech signal (So) and a locally reproduced synthetic speech signal. A speech synthesizing circuit (206) produces a synthetic speech signal (Sij) by using codes stored in an excitation codebook (203) in one-to-one correspondence with indexes, and the prediction coefficient (a). A comparing circuit (207) compares the synthetic speech signal (Sij) and input speech signal (So) to thereby output an error signal (eij). A perceptual weighting circuit (208) weights the error signal (eij) to thereby output a perceptually weighted signal (wij). A codebook index selecting circuit (211) selects an optimal index (I) for the excitation codebook (203) out of at least the weighted signal (wij), and feeds the optimal index (I) to the codebook (203). A power envelope estimating circuit (210) produces power envelope signals from the synthetic speech signal and input speech signal, and compares the power envelope signals to thereby estimate an error signal (Rij) representative of a difference between the envelope signals. The selecting circuit (211) selects the optimal index (I) on the basis of the error signal (Rij) and weighted signal (wij). The device is capable of reproducing a synthetic speech faithfully matching an input original speed signal without deteriorating perceptual naturalness.

Abstract: A power semiconductor device (e.g. MOSFET or IGBT) has a temperature sensing means in the form of thin-film sensing element (D1) on a first insulating layer (2) on the device body (10). The sensing element is preferably a reverse-biased p-n junction thin-film polycrystalline silicon diode (D1). In order to screen the sensitive element (D1) from electrical noise, an electrically conductive layer (4) is present on a second electrically insulating layer (5) over the thin-film element (D1) and forms part of an electrical screen (3, 4) which is present over and under the thin-film element (D1). This electrical screen (3, 4) also comprises a semiconductive region (3) underlying the thin-film element (D1), with the overlying conductive layer (4) electrically connected to the semiconductive region (3) at a window (6) in the insulating layers (2, 5). One electrical connection of the thin-film element (D1) may be formed by the screening conductive layer (4) extending through a contact window (46) in the second insulating layer (5) and connected to a stable reference potential (e.g. ground). The electrical screen (3, 4) can be integrated around the thin-film element (D1) in the same process steps as are already used for power device fabrication, but with modified mask layouts for providing the desired geometry in accordance with the invention. The overlying screening conductive layer (4) may be a main electrode (e.g. source) of the power semiconductor device.
