    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a display formed on an organic substrate and methods of forming such a device. According to an embodiment, an array of pixel mirrors may be formed on the organic substrate. For example, each of the pixel mirrors is actuatable about one or more axes out of the plane of the organic substrate. Additionally, embodiments of the invention may include an array of routing mirrors formed on the organic substrate. According to an embodiment, each of the routing mirrors is actuatable about two axes out of the plane of the organic substrate. In embodiments of the invention, a light source may be used for emitting light towards the array of routing mirrors. For example, light emitted from the light source may be reflected to one or more of the pixel mirrors by one of the routing mirrors.

    Abstract: In various embodiments, disclosed herein are systems and methods directed to the fabrication of a coreless semiconductor package (e.g., a millimeter (mm)-wave antenna package) having an asymmetric build-up layer count that can be fabricated on both sides of a temporary substrate (e.g., a core). The asymmetric build-up layer count can reduce the overall layer count in the fabrication of the semiconductor package and can therefore contribute to fabrication cost reduction. In further embodiments, the semiconductor package (e.g., a millimeter (mm)-wave antenna packages) can further comprise dummification elements disposed near one or more antenna layers. Further, the dummification elements disposed near one or more antenna layers can reduce image current and thereby increasing the antenna gain and efficiency.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include an optoelectronic package that allows for in situ alignment of optical fibers. In an embodiment, the optoelectronic package may include an organic substrate. Embodiments include a cavity formed into the organic substrate. Additionally, the optoelectronic package may include an actuator formed on the organic substrate that extends over the cavity. In one embodiment, the actuator may include a first electrode, a piezoelectric layer formed on the first electrode, and a second electrode formed on the piezoelectric layer. According to an additional embodiment of the invention, the actuator may include a first portion and a second portion. In order to allow for resistive heating and actuation driven by thermal expansion, a cross-sectional area of the first portion of the beam may be greater than a cross-sectional area of the second portion of the beam.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure may relate to a transceiver to transmit and receive concurrently radio frequency (RF) signals via a dielectric waveguide. In embodiments, the transceiver may include a transmitter to transmit to a paired transceiver a channelized radio frequency (RF) transmit signal via the dielectric waveguide. A receiver may receive from the paired transceiver a channelized RF receive signal via the dielectric waveguide. In embodiments, the channelized RF receive signal may include an echo of the channelized RF transmit signal. The transceiver may further include an echo suppression circuit to suppress from the channelized RF receive signal the echo of the channelized RF transmit signal. In some embodiments, the channelized RF transmit signal and the channelized RF receive signal may be within a frequency range of approximately 30 gigahertz (GHz) to approximately 1 terahertz (THz), and the transceiver may provide full-duplex millimeter-wave communication.
