Abstract: In described examples, a first device on a first surface of a substrate is coupled to a structure arranged on a second surface of the substrate. In at least one example, a first conductor arranged on the first surface is coupled to circuitry of the first device. An elevated portion of the first conductor is supported by disposing an encapsulate and curing the encapsulate. The first conductor is severed by cutting the encapsulate and the first conductor. A second conductor is coupled to the first conductor. The second conductor is coupled to the structure arranged on the second surface of the substrate.

Abstract: In described examples, a first metal layer is configured along a periphery of a cavity to be formed between a first substrate and a second substrate. A second metal layer is adjacent the first metal layer. The second metal layer includes a cantilever. The cantilever is configured to deform by bonding the first substrate to the second substrate. The deformed cantilevered is configured to impede contaminants against contacting an element within the cavity.

Abstract: A method includes attaching an optically transparent wafer to a first surface of an interposer wafer. The interposer wafer has a second surface opposite the first surface, and the second surface has a first channel therein. The method further includes attaching the interposer wafer to a first surface of a semiconductor wafer, and etching a second channel through the optically transparent wafer and through the interposer wafer. The method then includes applying wax into the second channel, and sawing through the optically transparent wafer and through at least a portion of the interposer wafer to form a third channel having a width that is wider than a width of the second channel. The wax is then removed to expose a portion of the first surface of the semiconductor wafer.

Abstract: In described examples, an image-generating panel is arranged for modulating a projection beam to include a modulated optical image. A cooling device is arranged to transfer heat received from the image-generating panel to a heat sink. The cooling device is arranged to receive the projection beam on a first side and to transmit the projection beam from a second side. The heat received from the image-generating panel can include heat generated by the image-generating panel in response to incidental sunlight.
