Grid-connected photovoltaic inverter

The invention discloses a grid-connected photovoltaic inverter and relates to equipment which employs irreversible DC power input conversion as AC power output for a semiconductor device with a control electrode and is used for being used together with a power supply system of a power supply. The equipment consists of a photovoltaic array module, four identical switching tubes, two identical diodes, four identical capacitors, an inductor and a power grid; and the topology ensures not to generate DC component or common mode current for the power grid. Meanwhile, the inverter has low output current ripple and higher efficiency, and overcomes the defects that the conventional full-bridge inverters and other types of transformerless photovoltaic inverters generate DC component in the power grid and generate common mode current or / and higher current ripple. Compared with a half-bridge inverter, the grid-connected photovoltaic inverter reduces the differential mode voltage and current ripple by half.

Semiconductor memory

The object of providing a non-volatile semiconductor memory that stands out by good scalability and a high retention time as well as ensures low switching voltages at low switching times and achieves a great number of switching cycles at good temperature stability is solved by the present invention with a semiconductor memory whose memory cells comprise at least one silicon matrix material layer with open or disturbed nanocrystalline or amorphous network structures and structural voids which has a resistively switching property between two stable states, utilizing the ion drift in the silicon matrix material layer. The memory concept suggested in the present invention thus offers an alternative to the flash and DRAM memory concepts since it is not based on the storing of charges, but on the difference of the electric resistance between two stable states that are caused by the mobility of ions in the amorphous silicon matrix material with an externally applied electric field.

Thin Layer Photonic Integrated Circuit Based Optical Signal Manipulators

Integrated optical intensity or phase modulators capable of very low modulation voltage, broad modulation bandwidth, low optical power loss for device insertion, and very small device size are of interest. Such modulators can be of electro-optic or electro-absorption type made of an appropriate electro-optic or electro-absorption material in particular or referred to as an active material in general. An efficient optical waveguide structure for achieving high overlapping between the optical beam mode and the active electro-active region leads to reduced modulation voltage. In an embodiment, ultra-low modulation voltage, high-frequency response, and very compact device size are enabled by a semiconductor modulator device structure, together with an active semiconductor material that is an electro-optic or electro-absorption material, that are appropriately doped with carriers to substantially lower the modulator voltage and still maintain the high frequency response. In another embodiment, an efficient optical coupling structure further enables low optical loss. Various embodiments combined enable the modulator to reach lower voltage, higher frequency, low optical loss, and more compact size than previously possible in the prior arts.

Method of forming a substrate-triggered SCR device in CMOS technology

Abstract of Disclosure A P_STSCR structure includes a P-type substrate, an N-well in the P-type substrate, a first N+ diffusion region located in the P-type substrate connected to the cathode, a second P+ diffusion region located in the N-well connected to the anode, and a third P+ diffusion region as a trigger node located in the P-type substrate and between the first N+ diffusion region and the second P+ diffusion region. A lateral SCR device including the second P+ diffusion region, the N-well, the P-type substrate and the first N+ diffusion region is thereby formed. When a current flows from the trigger node into the P-type substrate, the lateral SCR device is triggered on into its latch state to discharge ESD current. Since the present invention utilizes a substrate-triggered current Itrig flowing into or flowing out from the P-type substrate or the N-well through the inserted trigger node, a much lower switching voltage in the SCR device is obtained.With such a lower switching voltage in the SCR device, the total layout area of the ESD protection circuit can be reduced, and the turn-on speed of SCR device is further improved to quickly discharge ESD current.ESD current flowing through surface channels, and heat dissipation issues, are avoided, while presenting no increase to the overall complexity and difficulty of CMOS IC manufacturing.
