Advantageously the substrate is silicon, and the cavity is produced by anisotropic etching.

Abstract: Apparatus for reducing electromagnetic field radiation from an electrically conducting enclosure is disclosed. The apparatus comprises an electrically conducting element having two extremities and in which the electromagnetic field radiation induces a current, and an electrical resistance connected between the two extremities of the electrically conducting element so as to absorb the electromagnetic field radiation. In an embodiment to absorb electric field energy, the element is a substantially linear conducting element which absorbs electric field radiation and the electrical resistance has a direct electrical connection to a first extremity of the electrically conducting element. In an embodiment to absorb magnetic field energy, the element is a substantially circular conducting element which absorbs magnetic field radiation, each end of the electrical resistance having a direct connection to a respective extremity of the substantially circular conducting element.

Abstract: The specification describes a packaging arrangement for micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS). The MEMS devices are mounted on a ceramic platform and are then packaged in a hybrid package. The hybrid package may be hermetically sealed. The hybrid package uses a ceramic insert as the primary MEMS device enclosure. The ceramic insert is mounted on a polymer printed wiring board, which provides both support and electrical interconnection for the ceramic insert. Optical access to the MEMS device is through a transparent window that may be hermetically sealed to the ceramic insert. The use of a ceramic primary enclosure for the MEMS device array substantially eliminates thermomechanical instabilities and provides thermomechanical and hermetic performance for the elements that require it. The main interconnection and routing function, implemented using standard epoxy printed circuit technology, yields high interconnection versatility and performance at low cost.

Abstract: A magnet for use in a magnetic matrix display has a two dimensional array of apertures between opposite poles of the magnet. The direction of the magnetic field is such that the magnet generates, in each channel, a collimating magnet field for forming electrons from a cathode into an electron beam. A `keeper`, area around the periphery of the magnet is used to improve the linearity of the field strength in the apertures from apertures at the center of the magnet to apertures at the periphery of the magnet. The `keeper`, area may have control circuits placed on the surface of that area of the magnet. The keeper area may contain apertures which are not used for collimation and into which electrons are prevented from entering by a grid electrode or by a physical blocking means.

The laser has a rear facet through which passes a small portion of the light emitted by the laser. The photodiode is mounted on the surface of the platform with a light admitting facet for receiving a portion of the light emitted from the rear facet of the laser being substantially perpendicular to the light emitting facet of the laser. The surface of the platform may include a channel. The channel may be tapered from a narrower end near the laser to a wider end near the photodiode, and may be coated with a light-reflective material.
