Abstract: A capacitance-to-frequency converter is configured to convert a difference between first and second capacitances produced of a teeter-totter capacitive transducer as a result of a rotational force being applied to the teeter-totter capacitive transducer to a first signal having a first frequency that is a function of the rotational force, and to convert a sum of the first and second capacitances produced as a result of an acceleration force to a second signal having a second frequency that is a function of the acceleration force. The capacitance-to-frequency converter includes a first oscillator having a first oscillator frequency that changes in response to a change in the first capacitance; a second oscillator having a second oscillator frequency that changes in response to a change in the second capacitance; and a mixer having first and second mixer inputs connected outputs of the first and second oscillators.

Abstract: An apparatus including vertically separated acoustic resonators are disclosed. The apparatus includes a first acoustic resonator on a substrate and a second acoustic resonator vertically separated above the first acoustic resonator. Because the resonators are vertically separated above another, total area required to implement the resonators is reduced thereby savings in die size and cost are realized. The vertically separated resonators are supported by standoffs that are fabricated on the substrate, or on a resonator.

Abstract: An electronic device. The electronic device includes a first electrode and a coating layer. The electronic device is fabricated on a substrate; the substrate has a cavity created in a top surface of the substrate; and the first electrode is electrically coupled to the substrate. The coating layer coats at least part of a substrate surface in the cavity, and the presence of the coating layer results in a mitigation of at least one parasitic leakage path between the first electrode and an additional electrode fabricated on the substrate.

Abstract: A method for separating dies on a wafer includes etching channels around the dies on a first side of the wafer, mounting the first side of the wafer to a quartz plate with an UV adhesive, and grinding a second side of the wafer until the channels are exposed on the second side of the wafer. At this point, the dies are separated but held together by the UV adhesive on the quartz plate. The method further includes mounting a second side of the wafer to a tack tape, exposing UV radiation through the quartz plate to the UV adhesive. At this point, the UV adhesive looses its adhesion so the dies are held together by the tack tape. The method further includes dismounting the quartz plate from the first side of the wafer and picking up the individual dies from the tack tape.
