Abstract: An amplifier (10) is formed on an integrated circuit chip (12) and has a plurality of serially coupled amplifier stages (141 to 146). The stages (141 to 146) have an uncompensated gain which decreases with increasing temperature. Each one of a series (142 to 145) of these stages includes a feedback circuit (RF/10, RF,16) having a switchable feedback element (16), providing the stage with a first gain when the switchable element (16) is switched into one state and a second gain when switchable element (16) is switched into a second state. Temperature compensation circuitry (19, 20, 22) switches the switchable element (16) into one of the states selectively in accordance with the temperature of the chip (12), which is sensed by a thermometer (19) included in the temperature compensation circuitry. Each stage of the said series has a higher gain at a temperature above a predetermined threshold temperature associated with the stage and a lower gain at temperature below the predetermined threshold temperature associated with the stage, and each such stage is associated with a different predetermined threshold temperature (T1, T2, T3, T4). In the feedback circuit of a stage, the switchable element (16) is operable to either shunt another feedback element (RF/10) or un-shunt such element. The stage provides a first gain when such element (RF/10) is shunted by the switchable element (16) and a second gain when the feedback (RF/10) is un-shunted by the switchable element. <IMAGE>

Title: Dispositif a semi-conducteur ayant une jonction de redressement et son procede de production
Inventor: BROWN ADAM R
IPC: H01L29/861

Granted: 2009-09-23
Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif à semi-conducteur ayant une jonction de redressement (5) située entre deux régions (semi-conducteur) (1, 2) d'un type de conductivité opposé. La seconde région (2), laquelle contient du silicium, est plus épaisse et présente une concentration de dopage inférieure à celle de la première région (1), laquelle comprend une sous-région comportant un cristal mélangé de silicium et de germanium. Les deux régions (1, 2) sont dotées chacune d'un conducteur de connexion (3, 4). Ce dispositif peut être utilisé de manière tout à fait appropriée comme élément de commutation, notamment comme élément de commutation pour haute tension et/ou haute puissance. Dans le dispositif connu, le cristal mélangé de silicium-germanium est relaxé, ce qui conduit à la formation de dislocations inadaptées. Celles-ci ont pour effet de réduire la durée de vie des porteurs de charge minoritaires, permettant ainsi la commutation très rapide du dispositif. Dans un dispositif selon l'invention, toute la première région (1) comprend un cristal mélangé de silicium et de germanium, et la teneur en germanium ainsi que l'épaisseur de la première région (1) sont sélectionnées de manière que la tension accumulée dans le dispositif à semi-conducteur reste sous le niveau auquel se développent les dislocations inadaptées. Étonnement, on a découvert que ce dispositif peut aussi être commuté très rapidement, et même plus rapidement que le dispositif connu. L'absence de dislocations inadaptées présente un avantage supplémentaire, c'est-à-dire que le dispositif est très fiable. Les dislocations inadaptées ne se développent pas si le produit présentant ledit écart relatif dans la constante de réseau et l'épaisseur de la première région est inférieur ou égal à 40 nm %. Une limite de sécurité plafond pour ledit produit est de 30 nm %.

Abstract: Colorants as sensitizers for energy conversion processes play a decisive role in solar applications. Their purity substantially influences targeted global efficiency. Known colorants cannot be supplied with constant purity quality. Disturbing impurities have not been sufficiently recognized. Purification of the colorants (XMIX) during preparation by separating the unwanted byproducts through recrystallization resulted in non-reproducible and less efficient material. In comparison with other very similar organic colorants (XNEBEN), the inventive photosensitizer is a highly pure colorant (XPUR) that can be clearly identified and prepared by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The HPLC method used is the only method comprising an adapted method sequence and optimal parameters, enabling both chemical quality control of the sensitizer colorants and their purification during preparation. The inventive highly pure colorants (XPUR), especially ruthenium-based colorants, clearly improve global efficiency in many applications in solar technologies requiring a photosensitizer for activating their active semiconductor layer, especially in TiO2-based solar cells.
