ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 9 -- United States Patent no. 12,355,431, issued on July 8, was assigned to GlobalFoundries U.S. Inc. (Malta, N.Y.).

"Switch with back gate-connected compensation capacitors" was invented by Thomas G. McKay (Boulder Creek, Calif.) and Gail B. Katzman (Boulder Creek, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A disclosed structure (e.g., a switch circuit) includes multiple transistors (e.g., on triple wells) connected in series between a first and second nodes. Each transistor can include a primary gate (e.g., a front gate) for controlling the ON/OFF state of the transistor and a secondary gate (e.g., a back gate) for adjusting the VT of the transistor. The switch circuit furt...
