Title: Thermoelectric module with several chip alignment of P- and N-conductive semiconductors
Inventor: TSUZAKI MICHIMASA
IPC: H01L35/32
Filed: 1998-11-25
Granted: 2000-03-11
Abstract: A kind of thermoelectric module can successfully reduce the thermal stress and improve the reliability. The thermoelectric module comprises a plurality of P-type and N-type thermoelectric chip allocated on a matrix. The series-connection circuit is formed between a set of first contacts and a set of second contacts. The chip allocation is to have at least three chips in a row wherein each chip row has limited number of chips. The first carrier is allocated on one side of the chip to carry the first contact and includes the first bridge for connecting two adjacent first contacts and defining the first discrete couple to be the electrical connection between the chips in a chip series. Furthermore, the first carrer includes at least two internal row bridges for internal connections between adjacent chip series. On the other side of the chip, there forms a plurality of second bridges that each bridge connect two adjacent second contacts to get the second discrete couple as the electrical connection betwen the adjacent chips in a chip series. Therefore, the thermal stress is applied at the end of chip series in which the two adjacent chip series are connected internally so that the thermal stress can be reduced at one side of the second junction wherein the second discrete couples are completely separated with each other.

Title: Semiconductor device
Inventor: LIEVERLOO HENRICUS A L VAN
IPC: H01L21/822
Filed: 1998-12-02
Granted: 2000-07-21
Abstract: To improve the robustness of a protection against ESD, a transistor structure is proposed in which breakdown does not occur at the surface of the silicon body but in the bulk of the silicon at a distance from the surface.  To this end, the drain of the transistor is partly provided in a well, on a side remote from the channel, which well is of the same conductivity type as the silicon body but has a higher doping level than said body.  Due to the higher doping level, breakdown will occur in the bulk at the bend of the pn-junction.  In an important embodiment, the transistor forms an output transistor of the circuit.  Since a transistor is not necessary to ensure a uniform current distribution, a compact structure and possibly a lower ground bounce may be achieved.
