Claims5
A semiconductor device comprising a transistor that is used for a charge pump circuit, being configured with a fully depleted silicon-on-insulator transistor.
A boost circuit comprising:
- a first n-channel fully depleted silicon-on-insulator transistor in which a first pulse is emitted into a gate;
- a first p-channel fully depleted silicon-on-insulator transistor in which the first pulse is emitted into a gate, connected serially to the first n-channel fully depleted silicon-on-insulator transistor;
- a second n-channel fully depleted silicon-on-insulator transistor where a gate thereof is connected to a drain of the first n-channel fully depleted transistor;
- a second p-channel fully depleted silicon-on-insulator transistor, connected serially to the second n-channel fully depleted silicon-on-insulator transistor;
- a third p-channel fully depleted silicon-on-insulator transistor in which a second pulse which is in an opposite phase to the first pulse is emitted into a gate, a source thereof is connected to a drain of the second n-channel fully depleted silicon-on-insulator transistor;
- a third n-channel fully depleted silicon-on-insulator transistor in which the second pulse is emitted into a gate, connected serially to the third p-channel fully depleted silicon-on-insulator transistor, and a source thereof being connected to a source of the second n-channel fully depleted silicon-on-insulator transistor;
- a fourth n-channel fully depleted silicon-on-insulator transistor where a source thereof is connected to the source of the second n-channel fully depleted silicon-on-insulator transistor, and where a gate thereof is connected to a drain of the third n-channel fully depleted transistor;
- a fourth p-channel fully depleted silicon-on-insulator transistor which is connected serially to the forth n-channel fully depleted silicon-on-insulator transistor, a gate thereof being connected to a source of the third p-channel fully depleted silicon-on-insulator transistor, a source thereof being connected to the source of the second p-channel fully depleted silicon-on-insulator transistor, and a drain thereof being connected to a source of the first p-channel fully depleted silicon-on-insulator transistor;
- a first capacitor to which the first pulse is input, connected to the drain of the second n-channel fully depleted silicon-on-insulator transistor;
- and
- a second capacitor to which the second pulse is input, connected to a drain of the forth n-channel fully depleted silicon-on-insulator transistor.
