Abstract:
A MEMS switch device including: a substrate layer; an insulating layer formed over the substrate layer; and a MEMS switch module having a plurality of contacts formed on the surface of the insulating layer, wherein the insulating layer includes a number of conductive pathways formed within the insulating layer, the conductive pathways being configured to interconnect selected contacts of the MEMS switch module.
Abstract:
A silicon substrate is provided that may facilitate the formation of RF components more cheaply by using a silicon layer formed by the Czochralski process, and having a carrier life time killing layer deposited on the silicon layer.
Abstract:
A stress shield for a plastic integrated circuit package is disclosed. A shield plate is attached by an adhesive to a top surface of an integrated circuit die such that the shield plate covers less than all of the top surface and leaves bond pads exposed. A molding material is applied over the shield plate and the integrated circuit die. The shield plate shields the integrated circuit die from stresses imparted by the molding material.
