Abstract: In described examples an integrated circuit (IC) has multiple layers of dielectric material overlying at least a portion of a surface of a substrate. A trench is etched through the layers of dielectric material to expose a portion the substrate to form a trench floor, the trench being surrounded by a trench wall formed by the layers of dielectric material. A metal perimeter band surrounds the trench adjacent the trench wall, the perimeter band being embedded in one of the layers of the dielectric material.

Abstract: A device includes a multilayer substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. An integrated circuit is mounted on the second surface of the multilayer substrate, the integrated circuit having transmission circuitry configured to process millimeter wave signals. A substrate waveguide having a substantially solid wall is formed within a portion of the multilayer substrate perpendicular to the first surface. The substrate waveguide has a first end with the wall having an edge exposed on the first surface of the multilayer substrate. A reflector is located in one of the layers of the substrate and is coupled to an edge of the wall on an opposite end of the substrate waveguide.

Abstract: In some examples, an apparatus comprises a chopper, a first microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device, a second MEMS device, and a processing circuit. The chopper configured is to repeatedly switch states to enable and disable provision of a light signal. The first MEMS device is configured to provide first and second irradiance signals when the chopper is in, respectively, first and second states The second MEMS device is configured to provide first and second reference signals when the chopper is in, respectively, the first and second states. The processing circuit is configured to generate a first signal based on the first irradiance signal and the first reference signal, generate a second signal based on the second irradiance signal and the second reference signal, and provide a third signal at the processing output representing an irradiance measurement of the light source based on a difference between the first and second signals.

Abstract: A differential nondispersive infrared (NDIR) sensor incorporates an infrared (IR) chopper and multiple multi-bit digital registers to store and compare parameter ratio values, as may be digitally calibrated to corresponding temperature values, from chopper clock cycle portions in which a plasmonic MEMS detector is irradiated by the IR chopper with such values from chopper clock cycle portions in which the IR detector is not irradiated by the IR chopper. The plasmonic MEMS detector is referenced to a reference MEMS device via a parameter-ratio engine. The reference device can include a broadband IR reflector or can have a lower-absorption metasurface pattern giving it a lower quality factor than the plasmonic detector. The resultant enhancements to accuracy and precision of the NDIR sensor enable it to be used as a sub-parts-per-million gas concentration sensor or gas detector having laboratory, commercial, in-home, and battlefield applications.
