Abstract: A process for fabricating oxide-isolated vertical bipolar transistors and complementary oxide-isolated lateral bipolar transistors incorporates the steps of growing a doped epitaxial layer of single-crystal silicon on a silicon substrate, applying a first insulation material in a selected pattern over the epitaxial layer to define oxide-isolation regions and device regions, etching grooves in the areas in which oxide-isolation regions will be formed, applying a self-aligned base insulation material over those portions of the interface between the first insulation material and the grooves which bound the region between the base of any vertical bipolar transistor to be formed and the emitter of any lateral bipolar transistor to be formed, applying an impurity of a conductivity type opposite to the conductivity type of the epitaxial layer to those groove areas not covered by the self-aligned base insulation material, the impurity serving to prevent emitter-to-collector inversion along the wall of the base of any vertical bipolar transistor without shorting the emitter and collector of any lateral bipolar transistor, forming oxide-isolation regions in the grooves and forming the vertical bipolar transistors and the lateral bipolar transistors in the device regions. The process of the present invention will produce discrete lateral bipolar transistors, discrete vertical bipolar transistors capable of operation in the conventional mode or in the inverse mode, or a composite structure which merges both a vertical bipolar transistor and a lateral bipolar transistor together on the same silicon island to form an injection-logic gate in which the base of the vertical bipolar transistor serves as the collector of the lateral bipolar transistor, the vertical transistor being operated in the inverse mode.

Abstract: A wireless sensor for indicating a physical state within an environment includes a housing defining a hermetically sealed cavity. A structure located within the cavity of the housing has elements providing capacitance, the elements being arranged such that the distance and thereby the capacitance of the structure changes when a physical state of the environment changes. The structure has a resonant frequency based at least in part on the capacitance of the structure when in the presence of a fluctuating electromagnetic field. When the sensor is positioned within an environment and is subjected to a fluctuating electromagnetic field, the resonant frequency indicates the physical state of the environment.

Abstract: A pressure cavity is durable, stable, and biocompatible and configured in such a way that it constitutes pico to nanoliter-scale volume. The pressure cavity is hermetically sealed from the exterior environment while maintaining the ability to communicate with other devices. Micromachined, hermetically-sealed sensors are configured to receive power and return information through direct electrical contact with external electronics. The pressure cavity and sensor components disposed therein are hermetically sealed from the ambient in order to reduce drift and instability within the sensor. The sensor is designed for harsh and biological environments, e.g. intracorporeal implantation and in vivo use. Additionally, novel manufacturing methods are employed to construct the sensors.

Abstract: A sensor has a sensor housing defining a cavity therein. A first wall partially defining the cavity is deflectable under a physiologically relevant range of pressures. An integrated circuit chip bearing electronics is fixedly mounted within the cavity. A capacitor comprises first and second capacitor plates in generally parallel, spaced-apart relation. The first capacitor plate is physically coupled to the deflectable wall so as to move as the wall deflects, and the second capacitor plate is carried by the chip. The second capacitor plate is in electrical communication with the input pad of the chip.

Abstract: The present invention provides a combined camera, camera stand, audio hub, and audio headset charger. The audio headset is wireless, with a wireless connection to the stand/hub. The stand/hub then connects over a bus to a personal computer. The camera can be both tilted and adjusted in height on the stand. Seamless switching from one audio path (e.g., external speakers and microphone in webcam) to another (e.g., wireless headset) occurs, providing the user with a regular telephone like experience. In addition, it is easily possible to mute audio as well as video for the entire system.
