Reduced parasitic resistance and capacitance field effect transistor

Abstract: A field effect transistor and method for making the same is described wherein the field effect transistor incorporates a T-shaped gate and source and drain contacts self-aligned with preexisting shallow junction regions. The present invention provides a low resistance gate electrode and self-aligned low resistance source/drain contacts suitable for submicron FET devices, and scalable to smaller device dimensions.

Comparison apparatus operated at a low voltage

Abstract: The present invention provide an CMOS comparator outputting one bit digital signal after comparing two analog input signals through alternately performing a track mode operation and latch mode operation decided by a clock signal having a constant period, including: a latching unit having the main/sub input terminal; a first switching transistor having the clock signal as a gate input and having one end coupled to main input terminal; a first load transistor diode-connected to the other end of the first switching transistor and a ground end; a second switching transistor having a gate receiving the clock signal as a gate input and one end coupled to the sub input terminal; and a second load transistor diode-connected to the second switching transistor and to the other end of the ground terminal.

High frequency switching circuit

Abstract: A high frequency switching circuit is disclosed. The high frequency switching circuit is provided with first and second high frequency signal terminals, a control terminal, a field-effect transistor having a drain, a source and a gate. The field-effect transistor is connected between the first and the second high frequency signal terminals so as to switch a high frequency signal. The high frequency switching circuit is further provided with a variable resistance circuit which is connected between the gate of the field-effect transistor and the control terminal.

Semiconductor device, and display device and electronic device having the same

Abstract: An object is to provide a semiconductor device which can suppress characteristic deterioration in each transistor without destabilizing operation. In a non-selection period, a transistor is turned on at regular intervals, so that a power supply potential is supplied to an output terminal of a shift register circuit. A power supply potential is supplied to the output terminal of the shift register circuit through the transistor. Since the transistor is not always on in a non-selection period, a shift of the threshold voltage of the transistor is suppressed. In addition, a power supply potential is supplied to the output terminal of the shift register circuit through the transistor at regular intervals. Therefore, the shift register circuit can suppress noise which is generated in the output terminal.
