International Classification:

H01L 23/58
H01L 29/10
H01L 21/66
G01R 31/26

US Classification:

257 48, 438 14, 438 17, 438 18, 324 715

Abstract:

A technique for setting Vgg in an IC is disclosed. The technique includes specifying a design reliability lifetime for the IC, and a relationship between maximum gate bias and gate dielectric thickness for the IC sufficient to achieve the design reliability lifetime is established. The IC is fabricated and the gate dielectric thickness is measured. A maximum gate bias voltage is determined according to the gate dielectric thickness and the relationship between maximum gate bias and gate dielectric thickness, and a Vgg trim circuit of the IC is set to provide Vgg having the maximum gate bias voltage that will achieve the design reliability lifetime according to the measured gate dielectric thickness.

Abstract:

A method of full-field or “ping-based” Doppler ultrasound imaging allows for detection of Doppler signals indicating moving reflectors at any point in an imaging field without the need to pre-define range gates. In various embodiments, such whole-field Doppler imaging methods may include transmitting a Doppler ping from a transmit aperture, receiving echoes of the Doppler ping with one or more separate receive apertures, detecting Doppler signals and determining the speed of moving reflectors. In some embodiments, the system also provides the ability to determine the direction of motion by solving a set of simultaneous equations based on echo data received by multiple receive apertures.
