Abstract: An ultra-low-power receiver includes a low-noise amplifier configured to receive an input analog signal and generate an amplified signal and a mixer electrically coupled to the low-noise amplifier. The mixer is configured to convert said amplified signal into an intermediate frequency signal. A progressively reduced intermediate frequency filter is configured to process the intermediate frequency signal from the mixer in discrete time.

Abstract: A vertical metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor is formed within multiple layers of a multi-level metal interconnect system of a chip. The vertical MIM capacitor has a first electrode, a second electrode, and a high-k capacitor dielectric material disposed therebetween. The dielectric constant of the capacitor dielectric material is greater than the dielectric constant of interlayer dielectric (ILD) material. After ILD is removed from between the vertically-oriented, interdigitated portions of the first and second electrodes, a capacitor dielectric material having a dielectric constant greater than the MD dielectric material is disposed therebetween.

Abstract: A semiconductor package includes a first semiconductor device, a second semiconductor device vertically positioned above the first semiconductor device, and a ground shielded transmission path. The ground shielded transmission path couples the first semiconductor device to the second semiconductor device. The ground shielded transmission path includes a first signal path extending longitudinally between a first end and a second end. The first signal path includes a conductive material. A first insulating layer is disposed over the signal path longitudinally between the first end and the second end. The first insulating layer includes an electrically insulating material. A ground shielding layer is disposed over the insulating material longitudinally between the first end and the second end of the signal path. The ground shielding layer includes a conductive material coupled to ground.

Abstract: A circuit includes a time delta detector configured to receive an input clock signal and a reference clock signal and generate a delta pulse signal and a reference pulse signal. A comparison circuit is configured to receive the delta pulse signal and the reference pulse signal. The comparison circuit generates an output indicative of a bit of a time difference between the input clock signal and the reference clock signal. A control circuit is configured to receive the output from the comparison circuit. The control circuit maintains a count of the time difference between the input clock signal and the reference clock signal.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to optical waveguide termination devices. In some embodiments, an optical waveguide termination device is coupled to an end of an optical waveguide. The optical waveguide termination device is a tapered structure. In various embodiments, an optical absorption rate of the tapered structure is increased to enhance a termination efficiency. The optical absorption is increased by highly-doped material, multi-layer structure, different cladding, and periodic structure. The enhancement of the termination efficiency benefits size reduction of the tapered structure.
