Method For Fabricating A Merged Integrated Circuit Device

US Patent:
6627963, Sep 30, 2003
Filed:
Feb 20, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/789254
Inventors:
William T. Cochran - Clermont FL
Isik C. Kizilyalli - Orlando FL
Morgan J. Thoma - Orlando FL
Assignee:
Agere Systems Inc. - Allentown PA
International Classification:
H01L 2976
US Classification:
257392, 257336, 257371, 257391, 257408, 257596
Abstract:
The present invention provides a process for fabricating merged integrated circuits on a semiconductor wafer substrate. The process comprises forming a gate oxide on the semiconductor wafer substrate, forming a first transistor having a first gate on the gate oxide, and forming a second transistor having a second gate on the same gate oxide. The first transistor is optimized to a first operating voltage by varying a physical property of the first gate, varying a first tub doping profile, or varying a first source/drain doping profile. The second transistor is optimized to a second operating voltage by varying a physical property of the second gate, varying a second tub doping profile, or varying a second source/drain doping profile of the second transistor. These physical characteristics may be changed in any combination or singly to achieve the determined optimization of the operating voltage of any given transistor.

Jun 16, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/214200
Inventors:
William T. Cochran - Clermont FL, US
International Classification:
H01F 5/04, G01B 7/00, A61B 5/08
US Classification:
32420716, 336 84 R, 600534
Abstract:
A generally planar shaped inductor is disclosed that is particularly adaptable for use in motion or position sensors. One inductor can function as a signal input unit and another as a pick up unit in an arrangement wherein both inductors are placed in a generally parallel juxtaposition for flux flow there between. A movable armature is located between the inductors to control the amount of flux transmission between inductors. The position of the armature relative to the inductors controls the output signal generated by the pickup inductor that are adapted to be converted into indications of displacements.

High Voltage Cmos Logic Circuit Using Low Voltage Transistors

US Patent:
5963054, Oct 5, 1999
Filed:
Dec 5, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/985709
Inventors:
William Thomas Cochran - Clermont FL
Scott Wayne McLellan - Albany Township, Berks County PA
Assignee:
Lucent Technologies Inc. - Murray Hill NJ
International Classification:
H03K 190175, H03K 19094
US Classification:
326 68
Abstract:
A logic gate arrangement for switching voltages greater than the gate breakdown voltage of the transistors in the gate. Two transistors of different conductivity types, are disposed between the N and P transistors which perform the logic function of a conventional CMOS gate. The gates of the two transistors are connected to a first voltage that is less than the breakdown voltage of the transistors, with the entire logic gate being supplied with a voltage that is greater than the first voltage. Three outputs are provided, two with limited voltage swings that drive other like gates or conventional CMOS gates and the other output having a full voltage swing. Logic gates implementing various logic functions, such as NAND and NOR, are disclosed. Further, a cross-coupled logic gate is disclosed which can operate as a latch or as a logic voltage translator circuit.

Sensors For Monitoring Movements, Apparatus And Systems Therefor, And Methods For Manufacture And Use

US Patent:
7918801, Apr 5, 2011
Filed:
Dec 29, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/321161
Inventors:
William T. Cochran - Clermont FL, US
Assignee:
Medility LLC - Clermont FL
International Classification:
A61B 5/08
US Classification:
600534, 600587, 600588, 32420711, 73862331
Abstract:
Sensors, apparatus, and methods for measuring movements are disclosed. The sensors include input and output windings wound about a common location and an armature is equally positioned relative to both windings movable to vary inductance reactance of the sensor. The mass of the sensor and the ease of movements are such that flexible membranes, such as skin, can be monitored with insignificant interference. The sensor can be included in “Band-aid” bandage arrangement in which the bandage backing can be removed and held in place on skin by the bandage. A monitoring circuit, responsive to the changes in sensor impedance, provides indications of the detected movements. The monitoring circuit includes an arrangement for self-adjusting parameters so that the system can be automatically preset and continually reset. The monitoring circuit includes a power savings arrangement.

Programmable Hex-Rom With Isolation Transistor Structure

US Patent:
5773867, Jun 30, 1998
Filed:
Mar 26, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/827352
Inventors:
Sailesh Chittipeddi - Emmaus PA
William Thomas Cochran - Clermont FL
Kang Woo Lee - Allentown PA
Assignee:
Lucent Technologies, Inc. - Murray Hill NJ
International Classification:
H01L 2978, G11C 1700
US Classification:
257390
Abstract:
A ROM (read only memory) is disclosed. For via-ROMs, an isolation transistor is used to isolate adjacent pairs of memory devices instead of the more conventional field oxide isolation. The gate of the isolation transistor is grounded, insuring that conduction does not take place. For a GASAD ROM, a field oxide isolation is used.
