摘要:
A process for electroplating tin, lead or alloys of tin and lead from aqueous acidic baths. The baths comprise lactones, lactams, cyclic sulfate esters, cyclic imides and cyclic oxazolinones. The additives assist in providing a process which permits high speed plating with excellent layer properties such as smooth platings free from dendritic growth and having constant plating thickness over wide areas.

Briefly described, in architecture, one embodiment of the system, among others, includes a micro electro-mechanical device formed on a substrate layer; and a thermally decomposable sacrificial structure protecting at least a portion of the micro electro-mechanical device, where the sacrificial structure is formed on the substrate layer and surrounds a gas cavity enclosing an active surface of the micro electro-mechanical device. Other systems and methods are also provided.
摘要:
Disclosed is an integrated tunable inductor having mutual micromachined inductances fabricated in close proximity to a tunable inductor that is switched in and out by micromechanical ohmic switches to change the inductance of the integrated tunable inductor. To achieve a large tuning range and high quality factor, silver is preferably used as the structural material to co-fabricate the inductors and micromachined switches, and silicon is selectively removed from the backside of the substrate. Using this method, exemplary tuning of 47% at 6 GHz is achievable for a 1.1 nH silver inductor fabricated on a low-loss polymer membrane. The effect of the quality factor on the tuning characteristic of the integrated inductor is evaluated by comparing the measured result of substantially identical inductors fabricated on various substrates. To maintain the quality factor of the silver inductor, the device may be encapsulated using a low-cost wafer-level polymer packaging technique.

Integrated circuit interconnection devices and methods are provided. An interconnection to connect components can comprise a first portion, a second portion, and a joining portion. The first portion can extend from a first component, and the first portion can be made with a single conductor. The second portion can extend from a second component, and the second portion can be made with the single conductor. The joining section can be disposed between the first portion and the second portion so that the first component and second component are interconnected to each other to form an interconnect. The joining section can be made of the single conductor so that the interconnect structure consists only of the single conductor. An interconnect can also be formed with two portions, and be formed to have a high-aspect ratio. Other embodiments are also claimed and described.

The new plant is a hybrid semi-evergreen azalea characterized by compact mounded, branching form and blooms which appear in clusters of two with an occasional cluster of three. The azalea blooms in early April to mid-May in St. Louis, Mo. Blooms measure 1 32/32 to 2 15/32 inches in diameter, usually 1 32/32 to 2 15/32 inches, and are single with five lobes fused at the base with 10 non-petaloid stamens. The blooms are uniform pink with no flecking.
