摘要:
Provided is a flexible device (100) having an integrated circuit (5) and an antenna (6) which is incorporated or directly coupled to the interconnect structure of the integrated circuit (5). An electrically insulating or dielectric layer (4) is present as support layer for both antenna (6) and integrated circuit (5). Preferably the substrate (10) is removed at non-silicon areas (10B) outside the active areas (10A) of the integrated circuit (5). This removal can be combined with the use of a substrate of monocrystalline silicon. The flexible device is very suitable for integration in identification labels and security paper, and can be manufactured using a temporarily attached carrier substrate.

摘要:
A transducer (800) is provided where a membrane (830) is formed over a front substrate (615); and a piezoelectric layer (820) is formed over the membrane (830) at an active portion (821) and peripheral portions located adjacent the active portion (821). A patterned conductive layer including first and second electrodes (840, 845) is formed over the piezoelectric layer (820). Further, a back substrate structure is provided having supports (822, 824) located at the peripheral portions adjacent the active portion (821). The height (826) of the supports (822, 824) is greater than a combined height (828) of the patterned piezoelectric layer and the patterned conductive layer. Many transducers may be connected to form an array, where a controller may be provided for controlling the array, such as steering a beam of the array, and processing signals received by the array, for presence or motion detection and/or imaging, for example.
摘要:
A method of operating a communication system comprises a headend station and a plurality of end user stations which are connected to the headend station by means of a physical medium, and a system of one or a plurality of channels realised on this medium. There is an assignment mechanism for assigning a relevant channel to an end user station. More particularly, only a single channel is assigned to an end user station, each channel being assigned to a subset of zero, one or a plurality of end user stations. Controlled by the detection of a channel overload and/or end user dynamics, said assignment mechanism is activated to realise a new assignment of a plurality of channels while the condition is maintained that no more than a single channel is or remains assigned to each one of the end user stations.

The present invention relates to an integrated electronic-micro fluidic device an integrated electronic-micro fluidic device, comprising a semiconductor substrate (106) on a first (122) support, an electronic circuit (102, 104) on a first semiconductor-substrate side of the semiconductor substrate, and a signal interface structure to an external device. The signal interface structure is arranged on the first semiconductor-substrate side and configured to receive electrical signals from the electronic circuit. A micro fluidic structure (126) is formed in the semiconductor substrate, and is configured to confine a fluid and to allow a flow of the fluid to and from the microfluidic structure only on a second semiconductor-substrate side that is opposite to the first semiconductor-substrate side and faces away form the first support. The electronic-micro fluidic device forms a flexible platform for the formation of various System-in-Package applications. It achieves a clear separation between electrical and wet-chemical interfaces. The claimed method for fabricating the device of the invention also allows a simple formation of thermally isolated microfluidic structures.

Provided is a flexible device (100) having an integrated circuit (5) and an antenna (6) which is incorporated or directly coupled to the interconnect structure of the integrated circuit (5). The interconnect structure extends outside of the active area. An electrically insulating or dielectric layer (4) is present as support layer for both antenna (6) and integrated circuit (5). The substrate (10) is removed at non-silicon areas (1OB) outside the active areas (IOA) of the integrated circuit (5). This removal can be combined with the use of a substrate of monocrystalline silicon. The flexible device is very suitable for integration in identification labels and security paper, and can be manufactured using a temporarily attached carrier substrate.

The electronic device comprises a substrate (1) with a cavity (6) in which an active device (8) is present. On the first side (2) of the substrate an interconnect structure (17) extends over the cavity and the substrate. On the second side (3) of the substrate to which the cavity extends, a heat sink (23) is available. The device is particularly suitable for use at high frequencies, for instance higher than 2 GHz and under conditions of high dissipation.
摘要:
A first device region (10) of one conductivity type adjacent one major surface (1a) of a semiconductor body (1) has a relatively highly doped subsidiary region (11) spaced from the one major surface (1a) by a relatively lowly doped subsidiary region (12). A second device region (20) of the opposite conductivity type within the subsidiary region (12) has an intrinsic subsidiary region (21) and an extrinsic subsidiary region (23,24) surrounding the intrinsic subsidiary region (21) forming respective first and second pn junctions (22,25) with the relatively lowly doped subsidiary region (12). A third device region (30) of the one conductivity type is formed within the intrinsic subsidiary region (21) surface (1a). An additional region (60,60',61,62) is provided beneath the extrinsic subsidiary region (23,24) so as to lie within the spread of the depletion region (250) associated with the second pn junction (25) when the first and second pn junction (22,25) are reverse-biassed thereby extending the depletion region (250) beneath the emitter region (30) to cause an increase in the Early voltage (V.sub.eaf) of the device.
摘要:
An elongate device, such as a catheter, for interventional MRI has one or more passive LC-circuits attached to its distal tip portion for position tracking. The LC-circuits includes an inductor winding and a three-dimensional “trench” capacitor. The LC-circuits are integrated in a piece of silicon. Optical fibers may be included in the device for optical probing of tissue surrounding the distal tip portion.
摘要:
A thermal flow sensor integrated circuit for sensing flow in a channel based on temperature measurements, the integrated circuit having a temperature sensing element (30) on a front side of the integrated circuit arranged to face the channel, and a bond pad (60, 200) coupled electrically to the temperature sensing element, for making electrical contact off the integrated circuit, the bond pad being arranged to face away from the channel. By having the bond pad facing away from the channel, the space needed for the bond pad and any connections to it need not extend beyond the temperature sensing element and get in the way of the channel. Hence the temperature sensing element can be located closer to the channel or in the channel to enable measurements with better response time and sensitivity.
