Linearity improvements of semiconductor substrate based radio frequency devices

ActiveUS7868419B1Effectively layerPrevent capacitance changeSemiconductor/solid-state device detailsSolid-state devicesCapacitanceHigh density
The present invention relates to using a trap-rich layer, such as a polycrystalline Silicon layer, over a semiconductor substrate to substantially immobilize a surface conduction layer at the surface of the semiconductor substrate at radio frequency (RF) frequencies. The trap-rich layer may have a high density of traps that trap carriers from the surface conduction layer. The average release time from the traps may be longer than the period of any present RF signals, thereby effectively immobilizing the surface conduction layer, which may substantially prevent capacitance and inductance changes due to the RF signals. Therefore, harmonic distortion of the RF signals may be significantly reduced or eliminated. The semiconductor substrate may be a Silicon substrate, a Gallium Arsenide substrate, or another substrate.

Active matrix display device

An active matrix display device is provided in which parasistic capacitance or the like is suppressed by forming a thick insulating film around an organic semiconductor film, and disconnection or the like does not occur in an opposing electrode formed on the upper layer of the thick insulating film. In the active matrix display device, first, a bank layer composed of a resist film is formed along data lines and scanning lines. By depositing an opposing electrode of a thin film luminescent element on the upper layer side of the bank layer, capacitance that parasitizes the data lines can be suppressed. Additionally, a discontinuities portion is formed in the bank layer. Since the discontinuities portion is a planar section which does not have any a step due to the existence of the bank layer, disconnection of opposing electrode does not occur at this section. When an organic semiconductor film is formed by an ink jet process, a liquid material discharged from an ink jet head is blocked by the bank layer.

Implantable medical device lead incorporating a conductive sheath surrounding insulated coils to reduce lead heating during MRI

A conducting sheath is provided along at least a portion of an implantable medical device lead, and preferably along substantially its entire length, for mitigating heating problems arising during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedures, particularly problems arising due to a problem described herein as the “coiling effect.” During device implant, the clinician may elect to wrap or coil excess proximal portions of leads around or under the medical device being implanted. Thereafter, during MRI procedures, shunt capacitance may develop between the housing of the implantable device and insulated coils within the proximal portions of the lead that are near the device, resulting in greater lead heating during the MRI. The conducting sheath helps suppress induced currents and also reduces or eliminates shunt capacitance. The conducting sheath may be, for example, formed using a metal mesh or a conducting polymer tube incorporating non-ferrous metal powders. The sheath may be formed in ¼ wavelength segments.
