Abstract:
In an embodiment, a wafer level package may be provided. The wafer level package may include a device wafer including a MEMS device, a cap wafer disposed over the device wafer, at least one first interconnect disposed between the device wafer and the cap wafer and configured to provide an electrical connection between the device wafer and the cap wafer, and a conformal sealing ring disposed between the device wafer and the cap wafer and configured to surround the at least one first interconnect and the MEMS device so as to provide a conformally sealed environment for the at least one first interconnect and the MEMS device, wherein the conformal sealing ring may be configured to conform to a respective suitable surface of the device wafer and the cap wafer when the device wafer may be bonded to the cap wafer. A method of forming a wafer level package may also be provided.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a process for the preparation of some novel 2-aryl and 2,2-diaryl aldehydes and analogues which are privileged intermediates for commercially important nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs including naproxen, flurbiprofen and potent anticancer drug candidates, including phenstatin through a unique single step synthetic methodology utilizing easily available substrates in the form of aryl alkenes as well as environmentally benign aqueous reaction conditions in the form of solvents such as mixtures of water and DMSO or Dioxane and reagents N-bromosuccinimide, N- iodosuccinimide, N-cholorosuccinimide and phase transfer catalyst such as cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide, N-hexyl ammonium chloride for a reaction time varying from 1min- 30min, depending upon microwave or conventional heating, without using expensive transition metal catalysts or lewis acids/bases with yield varying from 35-55 %, depending upon the solvent and substrate used. The developed method provides a clean and convenient alternative to access a diverse range of medicinally important 2-aryl and 2,2- diaryl aldehyde based scaffolds in lieu of the conventional multistep protocols employing expensive and hazardous transition metal catalysts and lewis acids/bases.
Abstract:
A method for reducing optical coupling loss in a dielectric stack, a dielectric stack, and an optical device. The method comprises the steps of removing at least a portion of the dielectric stack associated with one or more metal layers of the dielectric stack in a region where optical losses are to be eliminated; and replacing said portion with a homogenous dielectric material.
