67 results about "Gate capacitance" patented technology

Answer Wiki. Gate charge is not capacitance. It is a measure of capacitance. One can use gate charge to determine gate capacitance. In fact capacitance measurements are typically done with charge measurements. Typically only ½ of this capacitance is allocated to gate to source capacitance; the other half is allocated to gate to drain capacitance.

Charge-domain compute-in-memory using ferroelectric field-effect transistor NAND architectures

Disclosed are compute-in-memory devices that perform charge-domain MAC operations in a NAND-style string of FeFETs. Memory cells are coupled to word lines and bit lines, each FeFET storing a computational weight as a non-volatile polarization state established by polarization switching of a ferroelectric layer, the polarization state altering channel conduction and modulating gate capacitance. A selected read cell receives an input signal on a bit line, and a neighboring memory cell provides a sense node at its word line formed by the neighboring cell's gate capacitance. A control circuit biases the read and neighboring cells so that application of the input signal to the read cell conditionally transfers charge to the neighboring cell's gate capacitance according to the combination of the input and the read cell's polarization-dependent conduction state. A readout circuit senses an electrical quantity to yield a MAC compute result in the charge domain.

PendingCN122180088ACapacitanceEnergy particle
This invention relates to the field of power semiconductor technology, specifically to an IGBT device resistant to single-event radiation and its fabrication method. By setting a P-type buried layer region at the bottom of the second trench, the strong electric field at the bottom of the trench is effectively weakened. Simultaneously, the P-type buried layer provides additional hole pathways, accelerating the extraction process of transient electron-hole pairs generated after high-energy particle incident, thereby effectively reducing the risk of single-event burn-out and improving the reliability of the device under irradiation. Furthermore, by introducing an N-type buried layer region at the bottom of the first trench, the electron injection effect is enhanced, increasing the carrier concentration in the on-state and reducing the on-state voltage drop. This structure also helps suppress the accumulation of holes below the gate during single-event incident, weakening the transient high electric field below the gate and improving the device's single-event tolerance. By reducing the depth of the first trench, the gate capacitance of the device can be effectively reduced, increasing the switching speed and reducing switching losses. In summary, this invention maintains radiation resistance while also ensuring high-frequency electrical performance.
