INTEGRATED CIRCUIT AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240222364 titled 'INTEGRATED CIRCUIT AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING
The abstract of the patent application describes an integrated circuit (IC) device that includes an antenna effect protection device and a to-be-protected device. The antenna effect protection device is a bulk-less device and is electrically coupled to a first conductor carrying a reference voltage and a second conductor connected to the gate of the to-be-protected device.
- The integrated circuit device includes an antenna effect protection device and a to-be-protected device.
- The antenna effect protection device is a bulk-less device.
- A first source/drain of the antenna effect protection device is connected to a first conductor carrying a reference voltage.
- A second source/drain of the antenna effect protection device is connected to the gate of the to-be-protected device.
- The configuration helps prevent antenna effects in the IC device.
Potential Applications: - Integrated circuits - Semiconductor devices - Electronics manufacturing
Problems Solved: - Antenna effects in integrated circuits - Protection of sensitive devices from electrical interference
Benefits: - Improved reliability of integrated circuits - Enhanced performance of semiconductor devices - Reduced risk of electrical damage
Commercial Applications: Title: Antenna Effect Protection in Integrated Circuits This technology can be used in the production of various electronic devices, including smartphones, computers, and IoT devices. It can improve the overall quality and longevity of these products, making them more reliable for consumers.
Questions about Antenna Effect Protection in Integrated Circuits: 1. How does the antenna effect protection device prevent interference in the IC device?
The antenna effect protection device is designed to divert electrical currents away from sensitive components, reducing the risk of interference and damage.
2. What are the potential implications of not having an antenna effect protection device in an IC device?
Without proper protection, antenna effects can lead to malfunctions, reduced performance, and even permanent damage to the integrated circuit.
