Abstract: An apparatus includes a substrate containing a cavity and a dielectric structure covering at least a portion of the cavity. The cavity is hermetically sealed. The apparatus also may include a launch structure formed on the dielectric structure and outside the hermetically sealed cavity. The launch structure is configured to cause radio frequency (RF) energy flowing in a first direction to enter the hermetically sealed cavity through the dielectric structure in a direction orthogonal to the first direction.

Abstract: A device includes a multilayer substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. An integrated circuit is mounted on the second surface of the multilayer substrate, the integrated circuit having transmission circuitry configured to process millimeter wave signals. A substrate waveguide having a substantially solid wall is formed within a portion of the multilayer substrate perpendicular to the first surface. The substrate waveguide has a first end with the wall having an edge exposed on the first surface of the multilayer substrate. A reflector is located in one of the layers of the substrate and is coupled to an edge of the wall on an opposite end of the substrate waveguide.

Abstract: A compact mmW spectroscopy cell system for detecting volatile organic compounds (compounds) in a gas. The system includes a gas collection chamber, an input buffer cavity for receiving the gas from the gas collection chamber, pumping devices to pass the gas from the buffer cavity to an absorption cell and maintain pressure, and a transceiver connected to the cell. The transceiver interrogates the absorption cell filled with the gas by passing a high frequency electromagnetic signal and sweeping the signal to generate an absorption spectra which is compared to a spectroscopy database for detecting the compounds in the gas. The absorption cell, collection chambers, and pumping devices are fabricated with standard CMOS processing techniques at chip and wafer scale. The transceiver bonded to the absorption cell with chip scale integration.

Abstract: A device includes a substrate that includes a resonant cavity. The resonant cavity includes a plurality of dipolar molecules that have an absorption frequency. The resonant cavity resonates at a frequency that is equal to the absorption frequency of the dipolar molecules. The device further includes a first port on the resonant cavity configured to receive a radio frequency (RF) signal.

Abstract: A digital system has a dielectric core waveguide that has a longitudinal dielectric core member. The core member has a body portion and a transition region, with a cladding surrounding the dielectric core member. The body portion of the core member has a first dielectric constant. The transition region of the core member has a graduated dielectric constant value that gradually changes from the first dielectric constant value adjacent the body portion to a third dielectric constant.

Abstract: Methods for depositing a measured amount of a species in a sealed cavity. In one example, a method for depositing molecules in a sealed cavity includes depositing a selected number of microcapsules in a cavity. Each of the microcapsules contains a predetermined amount of a first fluid. The cavity is sealed after the microcapsules are deposited. After the cavity is sealed the microcapsules are ruptured to release molecules of the first fluid into the cavity.

Abstract: A method includes forming a plurality of layers of an oxide and a metal on a substrate. For example, the layers may include a metal layer sandwiched between silicon oxide layers. A non-conductive structure such as glass is then bonded to one of the oxide layers. An antenna can then be patterned on the non-conductive structure, and a cavity can be created in the substrate. Another metal layer is deposited on the surface of the cavity, and an iris is patterned in the metal layer to expose the one of the oxide layers. Another metal layer is formed on a second substrate and the two substrates are bonded together to thereby seal the cavity.

Abstract: A digital system has a dielectric core waveguide that is formed within a multilayer substrate. The dielectric waveguide has a longitudinal dielectric core member formed in the core layer having two adjacent longitudinal sides each separated from the core layer by a corresponding slot portion formed in the core layer The dielectric core member has the first dielectric constant value. A cladding surrounds the dielectric core member formed by a top layer and the bottom layer infilling the slot portions of the core layer. The cladding has a dielectric constant value that is lower than the first dielectric constant value.
