Abstract: Three terminal magnetic sensing devices (TTMs) having base lead layers in-plane with collector substrate materials, and methods of making the same, are disclosed. In one illustrative example, a collector substrate having an elevated region and a recessed region adjacent the elevated region is provided. An insulator layer is formed in full-film over the collector substrate, and a base lead layer is formed in full-film over the insulator layer and in-plane with semiconductor materials of the elevated region. The insulator materials and the base lead materials that are formed over the elevated region are removed. A sensor stack structure having an emitter region and a base region is then formed over the elevated region such that part of the base region is formed over an end of the base lead layer. A base conductive via may be formed to contact base lead materials of the base lead layer at a suitable distance away from the sensor stack structure.

Abstract: A portable communication device (102) includes a housing (105), a first display area (130), and a second display area (132). The first display area (130) is outwardly directed from a side (122) of the housing (105), and the second display area (132) is outwardly directed from a front (120) of the housing (105). The housing (105) may include a housing portion (114) movable to an open position and a closed position, where the second display area (132) is covered by the housing portion (114) when positioned in one of the first and the second positions.

Abstract: A radiotelephone (100) includes a bottom housing (108) defining a slot (1502) and a lanyard bail (1500) movably disposed through the slot (1502). The lanyard bail (1500) is movable to an extended position and a retracted position relative to the bottom housing (108).
