    Abstract: Described examples include a millimeter wave atomic clock apparatus, chip scale vapor cell, and fabrication method in which a low pressure dipolar molecule gas is provided in a sealed cavity with a conductive interior surface forming a waveguide. Non-conductive apertures provide electromagnetic entrance to, and exit from, the cavity. Conductive coupling structures formed on an outer surface of the vapor cell near the respective non-conductive apertures couple an electromagnetic field to the interior of the cavity for interrogating the vapor cell using a transceiver circuit at a frequency that maximizes the rotational transition absorption of the dipolar molecule gas in the cavity to provide a reference clock signal for atomic clock or other applications.

    Abstract: An illustrate method (and device) includes etching a cavity in a first substrate (e.g., a semiconductor wafer), forming a first metal layer on a first surface of the first substrate and in the cavity, and forming a second metal layer on a non-conductive structure (e.g., glass). The method also may include removing a portion of the second metal layer to form an iris to expose a portion of the non-conductive structure, forming a bond between the first metal layer and the second metal layer to thereby attach the non-conductive structure to the first substrate, sealing an interface between the non-conductive structure and the first substrate, and patterning an antenna on a surface of the non-conductive structure.
