摘要: A micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) device includes a moveable element within a cavity. The MEMS device also includes a first layer over the cavity, the first layer having a first hole and a second hole. The first hole has a first diameter. The second hole has a second diameter. The second diameter is larger than the first diameter, and the second hole is farther from the moveable element than the first hole. The first hole is sealed with a first dielectric material. The second hole is sealed with a second dielectric material. The cavity filled with a gas at a pressure of at least approximately 10 torr.

摘要: In some examples, an electronic device comprises a first component having a surface, a second component having a surface, and a bond layer positioned between the surfaces of the first and second components to couple the first and second components to each other. The bond layer includes a set of metallic nanowires and a dielectric portion. The dielectric portion comprises a polymer matrix and dielectric nanoparticles.

摘要: An integrated circuit contains lower components in the substrate, a PMD layer, upper components over the PMD layer, lower contacts in the PMD layer connecting some upper components to some lower components, an ILD layer over the upper components, metal interconnect lines over the ILD layer, and upper contacts connecting some upper components to some metal interconnect lines, and also includes annular stacked contacts of lower annular contacts aligned with upper annular contacts. The lower contacts and upper contacts each have a metal liner and a contact metal on the liner. The lower annular contacts have at least one ring of liner metal and contact metal surrounding a pillar of PMD material, and the upper contacts have at least one ring of liner metal and contact metal surrounding a pillar of ILD material. The annular stacked contacts connect the metal interconnects to the lower components.

摘要: For sensing pH of a fluid, a heating apparatus of a semiconductor die controls a temperature of the fluid to a first temperature. A first voltage of a gate of a floating gate transistor of the semiconductor die is measured while the temperature of the fluid is at the first temperature. Also, the heating apparatus controls the temperature of the fluid to a second temperature that is different than the first temperature. A second voltage of the gate is measured while the temperature of the fluid is at the second temperature. The pH of the fluid is determined based on the first and second voltages, the first temperature and the second temperature.

摘要: In described examples of an integrated circuit (IC) there is a substrate of semiconductor material having a first region with a first transistor formed therein and a second region with a second transistor formed therein. An isolation trench extends through the substrate and separates the first region of the substrate from the second region of the substrate. An interconnect region having layers of dielectric is disposed on a top surface of the substrate. A dielectric polymer is disposed in the isolation trench and in a layer over the backside surface of the substrate. An edge of the polymer layer is separated from the perimeter edge of the substrate by a space.

摘要: In an integrated circuit, a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) diode includes: a first metallization structure level having a first metal layer; a first dielectric layer over the first metal layer; a metal contact or via on the first metal layer and extending through a portion of the first dielectric layer; and a second metallization structure level having a second metal layer; and a second dielectric layer over the second metal layer. The diode has a first electrode on the metal contact or via, a multilayer dielectric structure on the first electrode, and a second electrode between the multilayer dielectric structure and the second metal layer.
