Silicon on Insulator technology is promising for high voltage power IC applications. The required SOI layer thickness can be reduced if a large portion of the applied voltage is sustained by the bottom insulator layer. Combination of SOI and trenches or LOCOS has merits of simplified device isolation and high device packing density. Thin SOI layer will realize high-speed switching in high voltage devices because of the smaller amount of stored carriers. Substrate bias influences on device characteristics and potentials of SOI technology are discussed.<>

We describe a composite collector InP/InGaAs heterostructure bipolar transistor with f/sub T/=144 GHz and f/sub max/=81 GHz. The breakdown voltage BV/sub CEO/ is greater than 5V and output conductance is essentially independent of the collector voltage. This combination of performance characteristics is obtained with a carefully optimized collector structure. A monolithic transimpedance amplifier based on composite collector transistors has a bandwidth of 28 GHz and gain of 40 dB Omega . A hybrid optical receiver constructed with these amplifiers has open eye diagrams at 32 Gbit/s and a 1*10/sup -9/ error rate with -23.7 dBm of incident power.<>

New shunt wiring technologies for HDTV FIT-CCD image sensors have been developed. They include tungsten direct shunt wiring structure. As well as a new layout for tungsten shunt lines and aluminum bus lines. A 1-inch format 2M pixel FIT-CCD image sensor was fabricated using these technologies. A low smear level, less than -110 dB, was achieved at 1 MHz frame shift frequency. Furthermore, a 1.2*10/sup 5/ electron charge handling capability was obtained up to 1.4 MHz frame shift frequency.<>

A double polysilicon bipolar technology with high-speed, high-packing density, low power consumption, and high alpha -particle immunity has been newly developed. Bonded SOI substrates are used to improve the alpha -particle immunity, and scaled CMOS memory cells are introduced to reduce the power consumption and to increase the packing density. The cut-off frequency of the bipolar transistors is as high as 27 GHz and the area of the CMOS memory cell is 58 mu m/sup 2/. This technology is promising for application to ultra high-speed, high-density LSIs with ECL-CMOS scheme.<>

The photon emission from extremely small size MOSFETs with L/sub G/=70 nm is observed for the first time. It is found that the electron temperature of the hot electrons monotonously increases while the substrate current to drain current ratio which is related to the avalanche multiplication factor initially increases and then decreases due to the latch effect caused by the parasitic bipolar transistor action as the gate length is reduced from 500 nm to 70 nm. The number of photons emitted with a higher energy has more intimate relation with the charge pumping current change caused by the hot-carrier generated interface states. It is shown that the photon emission is more effective for evaluating the hot carrier phenomenon than the substrate current when the gate length is smaller and the drain voltage is higher.<>

Hot electron emission from a planar surface has been pursued in the past two decades in both silicon and III-V compound semiconductors. Since they are majority carrier devices and have controllable material growth by MBE, emitters made from planar doped barrier (PDB) structures have the advantages of high current density and high electron emission efficiency. The authors present the emission from a new Al/sub 0.3/Ga/sub 0.7/As-GaAs PDB emitter. A PDB structure consists of a sequence of n/sup +/-i-p/sup +/(delta-doped)-i-n/sup +/ layers. The p/sup +/ delta-doped sheet is fully depleted giving rise to a triangular barrier. A positive bias applied to the surface forward biases the n/sup +/-i-p/sup +/ injecting junction and reverse biases the p/sup +/-i-n/sup +/ accelerating junction so that electrons in the n/sup +/ region are injected across the barrier into a high field region and accelerated toward the surface. Electrons with kinetic energy larger than the surface work function are then emitted. For an efficient PDB emitter, the transit distance (the total thickness of the accelerating region and the top contact layer) should be small and the accelerating voltage (the voltage drop across the accelerating region) should be large. The breakdown of the accelerating junction sets an upper limit to the field applied to the accelerating region. One way to increase the accelerating voltage and hence the electron kinetic energy, without sacrificing the small transit distance, is using materials with a higher breakdown field.<>

A new robust, wide-range hydrogen sensor technology integrates catalytic gate transistors and resistors with a baseline CMOS process. Pd or PdNi gate transistors detect low concentrations of hydrogen (ppm) and Pd or PdNi thin film resistors sense higher concentrations of hydrogen (up to 100%). Fabrication of both sensors on the same die allows detection of hydrogen over a dynamic range of 6 orders of magnitude. On-chip power transistor heaters and diode thermometers allow accurate chip temperature control.<>

The implementation of very high Q microelectromechanical filters, constructed of spring-coupled or parallel resonators, requires strict control over the quality factor of the constituent resonators. This report details electrostatic feedback techniques which allow precise control of the quality factor of a micromechanical resonator device, independent of the ambient operating pressure of the micromechanical system.
