    摘要: A method for interconnecting high-temperature silicon carbide (SiC) devices enables such high-temperature devices to be used in fabricating electronic circuits of significant scale. This method comprises empirically measuring operational characteristics of a plurality of the devices to be interconnected, the operational characteristics comprising devices which are measured to be non-working and devices which are measured to be working; characterizing the operational characteristics in an operational characteristics map; designing interconnection paths between and among the devices that are characterized to be working by the operational characteristics map; and excluding from the interconnection paths, devices that are characterized to be non-working by the operational characteristics map. A preferred embodiment of this method further includes disposing a temporary polymer layer over the devices; forming via holes through the temporary polymer layer, to bonding pads of the devices; applying a current-balancing resistive metal over the temporary polymer layer; establishing connections between the current-balancing resistive metal and the bonding pads; designing the interconnection paths between and among the working devices by patterning the current-balancing resistive metal based on the operational characteristics map; and removing the temporary polymer layer.

    摘要: A broad band energy harvesting system to harvest energy from a structure and associated methods are provided. The system includes a structure carrying a plurality of environmentally produced vibration frequencies extending over a frequency range and an energy harvesting apparatus positioned in vibration receiving communication with the structure to harvest energy from the structure. Each energy harvesting apparatus includes broadly tuned energy harvesting generators having relatively low quality factor and corresponding relatively wide bandwidth. The energy harvesting generators collectively provide energy harvesting over multiple modes to thereby provide energy harvesting over a substantial portion of the frequency range. Each energy harvesting generator can include a cantilevered beam connected to a common backbone comprised of a resilient material configured to transfer energy between adjacent generators to further enhance energy harvesting.

    摘要: A switch structure having a base surface; a first high density interconnect (HDI) plastic interconnect layer overlying the base surface layer; a cavity within the HDI plastic interconnect layer; at least one patterned shape memory alloy (SMA) layer overlying the HDI plastic interconnect layer and the cavity, and at least one patterned conductive layer over the at least one patterned SMA layer; a fixed contact pad within the cavity and attached to the base surface and a movable contact pad attached to a portion of the first patterned SMA layer within the cavity such that when the first and second patterned SMA layers and the first and second patterned metallized layers are in a first stable position, the movable contact pad touches the fixed contact pad, thereby providing an electrical connection and forming a closed switch. The structure has a second stable position in which the SMA and metallized layers are flexed away from the cavity so that the contact pads are not in contact and form an open switch.
