    Abstract: A cross-coupling structure for dielectric cavity filters includes a base and a tuner. The base is communicated with plural resonant cavities, a side through hole and a blind hole, and has a first channel formed between two adjacent resonant cavities which are not used for producing cross-coupling, and a second channel the resonant cavities formed between two adjacent resonant cavities which are used for producing cross-coupling. The side through hole is penetrated through the base and communicated with the second channel. The blind hole is formed on a wall of the second channel and has an opening facing the side through hole. The tuner is entered into the second channel from the side through hole and extended into the blind hole and can be adjustably moved between the opening of the blind hole and the bottom of the blind hole to set a cross-coupling amount target value.

  • Publication number: 20230377982
    Abstract: A method and structure for mitigating leakage current in devices that include a continuous active region. In some embodiments, a threshold voltage at the cell boundary is increased by changing a photomask logic operation (LOP) to reverse a threshold voltage type at the cell boundary. Alternatively, in some cases, the threshold voltage at the cell boundary is increased by performing a threshold voltage implant (e.g., an ion implant) at the cell boundary, and into a dummy gate disposed at the cell boundary. Further, in some embodiments, the threshold voltage at the cell boundary is increased by use of a silicon germanium (SiGe) channel at the cell boundary. In some cases, the SiGe may be disposed within the substrate at the cell boundary and/or the SiGe may be part of the dummy gate disposed at the cell boundary.
