A double-RESURF LDMOS transistor has a gate dielectric structure including a shallow field “bump” oxide region and an optional raised dielectric structure that provides a raised support for the LDMOS transistor's polysilicon gate electrode. Fabrication of the shallow field oxide region is performed through a hard “bump” mask and controlled such that the bump oxide extends a minimal depth into the LDMOS transistor's drift (channel) region. The hard “bump” mask is also utilized to produce an N-type drift (N-drift) implant region and a P-type surface effect (P-surf) implant region, whereby these implants are “self-aligned” to the gate dielectric structure. The N-drift implant is maintained at Vdd by connection to the LDMOS transistor's drain diffusion. An additional Boron implant is utilized to form a P-type buried layer that connects the P-surf implant to the P-body region of the LDMOS transistor, whereby the P-surf implant is maintained at 0V.

A Fabry-Perot resonator apparatus and method including an in-resonator polarizing element improves detection / measurement sensitivity of an optical system, provides both fields at a single end of the resonator, and overcomes other structural and performance limitations of particular optical systems. A polarizing element, which may be a quarter-wave plate, a 45-degree Faraday rotator or other polarizing element capable of converting between linear and circular polarizations and back, is placed in the resonance path of the Fabry-Perot resonator. The polarizing element effectively doubles the cavity length and orthogonally isolates forward from reverse reflection rays within the resonator, eliminating interference between rays and providing isolated bright and dark fields at each end of the resonator. The polarizing element is introduced in a lens-incorporating Fabry-Perot resonator to eliminate cross-talk between image points and is used in a non-normal incidence Fabry-Perot resonator to emit bright and dark resonance information at either end of the resonator.

The present invention provides a method for the preparation of an insensitive high enthalpy explosive Dihydroxylammonium 5,5′-bistetrazole-1,1′-diolate (TKX-50) in the presence of N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, or N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone as a solvent via a four-step, one-pot reaction route to obtain a final product after four reaction steps. The more dangerous intermediate diazidoglyoxime may be solved by the one-pot method without the need of isolation. Further, the cyclization reaction is carried out in the presence of dropwisely added concentrated sulfuric acid to replace hydrochloric gas so no hydrochloric gas generator is needed to greatly reduce the amount of waste acid so as to effectively reduce the cost by avoiding using hydrochloric gas steel cylinders which require much safety equipment.
