摘要:
A polymer-based, self-aligned wafer-level heterogeneous integration system, SAWLIT, for integrating semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) chips to a substrate is presented. The system includes a method including preparing a substrate, flipping the substrate onto a polymer-based flat surface and securing the substrate to the flat surface, mounting semiconductor chips into the prepared substrate, integrating the chips to the substrate with another polymer-based material, and removing the resulting multi-chip module from the flat surface. The chips may then be connected with each other and regions off the multi-chip module with metal interconnect processing technology.A multi-chip module prepared by the polymer-based, self-aligned heterogeneous integration system including semiconductor chips mounted in a prepared substrate. The chips may be connected to the substrate by a polymer-based integrating material.
摘要:
An antenna assembly that has particular application for a hand held reader that interrogates sensors embedded within a vehicle tire, such as RFID sensors and tire pressure sensors. In one embodiment, the antenna assembly includes a first antenna operating in the 432-435 MHz range that employs a meander-line slot that provides increased antenna cross-polarization so that the sensor can be interrogated regardless of the antenna orientation and polarization. The antenna assembly also includes two RFID antennas that operate in the 902-928 MHz range that are planar antenna that make the antenna bi-directional, polarization free and a wide enough bandwidth for the RFID interrogation.
摘要:
A speed measuring device that employs a Fresnel zone plate lens antenna. The Fresnel lens antenna is mounted to one end of a low profile collection housing, typically cylindrical in configuration. An opposite end of the collection housing includes a back plate having an opening. A transceiver unit is mounted to the outside surface of the back plate so that a transmitter and a detector within the transceiver are in communication with the opening. A signal is transmitted from the transceiver unit through the opening, and is directed by the lens antenna. A reflected signal is received and focused by the lens antenna, and collected by the housing to be directed through the opening to the transceiver.

A method for micro-machining a varactor that is part of a membrane suspended MEMS tunable filter. In one non-limiting embodiment, the method includes providing a main substrate; depositing a membrane on the main substrate; depositing and patterning a plurality of sacrificial photoresist layers at predetermined times during the fabrication of the varactor; depositing metal layers that define a fabricated varactor structure enclosed within photoresist; coupling a carrier substrate to the fabricated structure opposite to the main substrate using a release layer; etching a central portion of the main substrate to expose the membrane; removing the carrier substrate by dissolving the release layer in a material that attacks the release layer but does not dissolve the photoresist; and removing the photoresist layers to provide a released varactor.
摘要:
An evanescent mode resonator including a cavity formed in a substrate of semiconductor material. The resonator includes a capacitive post positioned within the cavity, and a tuning element positioned within the wall of the cavity proximate to the capacitive post, where a gap between the flexible element and the post sets the tuning of the resonator.
