Abstract: A voltage regulator may be provided that includes a first circuit to receive at least one feedback signal from a buck converter and to provide at least one driving signal to the buck converter to provide an output voltage based on the at least one feedback signal, and a second circuit to control a super-capacitor to provide the output voltage when the first circuit is not using the buck converter to provide the output voltage.

Abstract: An embodiment of a device includes a semiconductor substrate, a transistor formed at the first substrate surface, a first conductive feature formed over the first substrate surface and electrically coupled to the transistor, and a second conductive feature covering only a portion of the second substrate surface to define a first conductor-less region. A cavity vertically aligned with the first conductive feature within the first conductor-less region extends into the semiconductor substrate. A dielectric medium may be disposed within the cavity and have a dielectric constant less than a dielectric constant of the semiconductor substrate. A method for forming the device may include forming a semiconductor substrate, forming a transistor on the semiconductor substrate, forming the first conductive feature, forming the second conductive feature, forming the conductor-less region, forming the cavity, and filling the cavity with the dielectric medium.
