IPC: H04N5/455
Filed: 2014-05-06
Abstract: MCM (multiple chip module) packages (201) are disclosed having multiple stacked demodulator dies (200) that share one or more MCM pins. The shared pins can include clock generation pins, clock input/output pins, receive signal path input pins, voltage supply pins, ground supply pins, and/or any other pins. Each of the dies may demodulate satellite, cable and/or terrestrial broadcast signals depending upon control signals CTRL (122) received from a host processor to output demodulated signals, e.g. MPEG transport streams. Each demodulator die may have an input pad coupled to a shared pin that is configured to be coupled to a crystal. Each die may include a circuit block coupled to a pad coupled to a shared pin, wherein the blocks operate in a plurality of modes, e.g. input or output modes. The number of pins may be 68 or less, e.g. 48, with a pin pitch of 0.5mm or less. The top surface of the MCM may be square with edges of 8mm or less. The multi-demodulator MCM package allows for improved routing of connection traces on PCBs, and multiple stacked demodulator dies do not require the PCB size to grow linearly with the number of required demodulated channels.

Title: Transistor Architecture having extended recessed spacer and source/drain regions and method of making same
Inventor: HAFEZ WALID M
IPC: H01L29/772
Filed: 2013-03-29
Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for forming transistor architectures having extended recessed spacer and source/drain (S/D) regions. In some embodiments, a recess can be formed, for example, in the top of a fin of a fin-based field-effect transistor (finFET), such that the recess allows for forming extended recessed spacers and S/D regions in the finFET that are adjacent to the gate stack. In some instances, this configuration provides a higher resistance path in the top of the fin, which can reduce gate -induced drain leakage (GIDL) in the finFET. In some embodiments, precise tuning of the onset of GIDL can be provided. Some embodiments may provide a reduction in junction leakage (Lb) and a simultaneous increase in threshold voltage (VT). The disclosed techniques can be implemented with planar and non-planar fin-based architectures and can be used in standard metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) and complementary MOS (CMOS) process flows, in some embodiments.
