Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for a compact 3-D coplanar transmission line (CTL). In one aspect, the CTL has a proximal end and a distal end separated, in a first plane, by a distance D, the first plane being parallel to a layout area of a substrate. The plane is defined by mutually orthogonal axes x and z The CTL provides a conductive path having pathlength L. D is substantially aligned along axis z, L is at least 1.5×D, and the CPW is configured such that at least one third of the pathlength L is disposed along one or more directions having a substantial component orthogonal to the first plane. Less than one third of the pathlength L is disposed in a direction having a substantial component parallel to axis x.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for three-dimensional (3-D) through-glass via inductors. In one aspect, the through-glass via inductor includes a glass substrate with a first cavity, a second cavity, and at least two through-glass vias. The through-glass vias include metal bars that are connected by a metal trace. The metal bars and the metal trace define the inductor, and each cavity is at least partially filled with magnetic material. The magnetic material can include a plurality of particles having an average diameter of less than about 20 nm. The first cavity can be inside the inductor and the second cavity can be outside inductor. In some implementations, the first and the second cavity can be vias that extend only partially through the glass substrate.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus related to acoustic resonators that include composite transduction layers for enabling selective tuning of one or more acoustic or electromechanical properties. In one aspect, a resonator structure includes one or more first electrodes, one or more second electrodes, and a transduction layer arranged between the first and second electrodes. The transduction layer includes a plurality of constituent layers. In some implementations, the constituent layers include one or more first piezoelectric layers and one or more second piezoelectric layers. The transduction layer is configured to, responsive to signals provided to the first and second electrodes, provide at least a first mode of vibration of the transduction layer with a displacement component along the z axis and at least a second mode of vibration of the transduction layer with a displacement component along the plane of the x axis and they axis.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for glass via bars that can be used in compact three-dimensional packages, including package-on-packages (PoPs). The glass via bars can provide high density electrical interconnections in the PoPs. In some implementations, the glass via bars can include integrated passive components. Packaging methods employing glass via bars are also provided.
