Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention include a waveguide structure that includes a first piezoelectric transducer that is positioned in proximity to a first end of a cavity of an organic substrate. The first piezoelectric transducer receives an input electrical signal and generates an acoustic wave to be transmitted with a transmission medium. A second piezoelectric transducer is positioned in proximity to a second end of the cavity. The second piezoelectric transducer receives the acoustic wave from the transmission medium and generates an output electrical signal.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention include a tunable radio frequency (RF) communication module that includes a transmitting component having at least one tunable component and a receiving component having at least one tunable component. The tunable RF communication module includes at least one piezoelectric switching device coupled to at least one of the transmitting and receiving components. The at least one piezoelectric switching device is formed within an organic substrate having organic material and is designed to tune at least one tunable component of the tunable RF communication module.
Abstract:
III-N high voltage MOS capacitors and System on Chip (SoC) solutions integrating at least one III-N MOS capacitor capable of high breakdown voltages (BV) to implement high voltage and/or high power circuits. Breakdown voltages over 4V may be achieved avoiding any need to series couple capacitors in an RFIC and/or PMIC. In embodiments, depletion mode III-N capacitors including a GaN layer in which a two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) is formed at threshold voltages below 0V are monolithically integrated with group IV transistor architectures, such as planar and non-planar silicon CMOS transistor technologies. In embodiments, silicon substrates are etched to provide a (111) epitaxial growth surface over which a GaN layer and III-N barrier layer are formed. In embodiments, a high-K dielectric layer is deposited, and capacitor terminal contacts are made to the 2DEG and over the dielectric layer.

Abstract:
Methods of forming a microelectronic packaging structure and associated structures formed thereby are described. Those methods and structures may include forming a package structure comprising a discrete antenna disposed on a back side of a device, wherein the discrete antenna comprises an antenna substrate, a through antenna substrate via vertically disposed through the antenna substrate. A through device substrate via that is vertically disposed within the device is coupled with the through antenna substrate via, and a package substrate is coupled with an active side of the device.
