Abstract:
Methods are used to form semiconductor devices that include an integrated circuit and a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device operatively coupled with the integrated circuit. At least a portion of an integrated circuit may be fabricated on a surface of a substrate, and a MEMS device may be formed over the at least a portion of the integrated circuit. The MEMS device may be operatively coupled with the integrated circuit. Semiconductor structures and electronic devices including such structures are formed using such methods.
Abstract:
Methods of forming semiconductor devices comprising integrated circuits and microelectromechanical system (MEMS) devices operatively coupled with the integrated circuits involve the formation of an electrically conductive via extending at least partially through a substrate from a first major surface of the substrate toward an opposing second major surface of the substrate, and the fabrication of at least a portion of an integrated circuit on the first major surface of the substrate. A MEMS device is provided on the second major surface of the substrate, and the MEMS device is operatively coupled with the integrated circuit using the at least one electrically conductive via. Structures and devices are fabricated using such methods.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a heterostructure, in particular, a piezoelectric structure, comprising a cover layer, in particular, a layer of piezoelectric material, the material of the cover layer having a first coefficient of thermal expansion, assembled to a support substrate, the support substrate having a second coefficient of thermal expansion substantially different from the first coefficient of thermal expansion, at an interface wherein the cover layer comprises at least a recess extending from the interface into the cover layer, and its method of fabrication.
Abstract:
A structure for radiofrequency applications includes a high-resistivity support substrate having a front face defining a main plane, a charge-trapping layer disposed on the front face of the support substrate, a first dielectric layer disposed on the charge-trapping layer, an active layer disposed on the first dielectric layer, at least one buried electrode disposed above or in the charge-trapping layer. The buried electrode comprises a conductive layer and a second dielectric layer.
