An apparatus for placing an edge piece on a battery plate includes a feed mechanism which transports a strip of bendable plastic material. A bending mechanism forms this strip into an open top, U-shaped channel. A cutter cuts the channel into an edge piece having a length which is substantially equal to an edge of the battery plate which is to be covered. An in-feed conveyor transports a battery plate toward the edge piece, and a support mechanism supports the edge piece while the edge of the battery plate is inserted into it. The support mechanism then releases the edge piece so that it can travel out of the apparatus with the battery plate.

A controlled seam magnetic core lamination utilizable in an inductor structure includes a magnetic base and first and second spaced-apart magnetic sidewalls extending substantially orthogonally from the base to define a seam therebetween. The controlled seam magnetic core lamination is utilizable in an inductor structure that includes: a non-conductive lower mold; a plurality of spaced-apart controlled seam lower laminations formed in the lower mold, each magnetic lower lamination having a horizontal base and first and second spaced-apart sidewalls extending substantially vertically upward from the base to define a seam therebetween; a non-conductive isolation layer formed on the lower mold and the magnetic lower laminations; a conductive trace formed on the isolation layer; a non-conductive upper mold formed over the isolation layer and the conductive trace; and a plurality of spaced-apart controlled seam magnetic upper laminations formed in the upper mold, each magnetic upper lamination having a horizontal base and first and second spaced-apart sidewalls that extend substantially vertically upward from the base to define a seam therebetween.

A method for forming a capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) is provided that includes forming oxide features outwardly of a CMUT control chip in a silicon wafer. The oxide features are planarized. A silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer is bonded to the planarized oxide features. For a particular embodiment, the SOI wafer comprises a single crystal epitaxial layer, a buried oxide layer and a silicon layer, and the single crystal epitaxial layer is bonded to the planarized oxide features, after which the silicon layer and the buried oxide layer of the SOI wafer are removed, leaving the single crystal epitaxial layer bonded to the oxide layer.

Multiple wafers that each has multiple high-precision circuits and corresponding trim control circuits are batch trimmed in a process where each wafer is formed to include openings that expose trimmable circuit elements that are internal to the circuitry of the high-precision circuits. The high-precision circuits and trim control circuits are electrically activated during the trimming phase by metal traces that run along the saw streets. The method attaches a wafer contact structure to each wafer to electrically activate the metal traces. The method places the wafers with the wafer contact structures into a solution where the exposed trimmable circuit elements are electroplated or anodized when the actual output voltage of a high-precision circuit does not match the predicted output voltage of the high-precision circuit.

A silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer is formed to have through-the-wafer contacts, and trench based interconnect structures on the back side of the SOI wafer that electrically connect the through-the-wafer contacts. In addition, selected ones of the through-the-wafer contacts bias the bodies of the MOS transistors.

Various apparatuses and methods for forming integrated circuit packages are described. One aspect of the invention pertains to an integrated circuit package in which one or more integrated circuits are embedded in a substrate and covered with a layer of photo-imageable epoxy. The substrate can be made of various materials, including silicon, quartz and glass. An integrated circuit is positioned within a cavity in the top surface of the substrate. The epoxy layer is formed over the top surface of the substrate and the active face of the integrated circuit. An interconnect layer is formed over the epoxy layer and is electrically coupled with the integrated circuit.
