  • Patent number: 12251152
    Abstract: Structures for a bidirectional switch and methods of forming such structures. A substrate contact is formed in a trench defined in a substrate. A substrate includes a trench and a substrate contact in the trench. A bidirectional switch, which is on the substrate, includes a first source/drain electrode, a second source/drain electrode, an extension region between the first source/drain electrode and the second source/drain electrode, and a gate structure. A substrate-bias switch, which is on the substrate, includes a gate structure, a first source/drain electrode coupled to the substrate contact, a second source/drain electrode coupled to the first source/drain electrode of the bidirectional switch, and an extension region laterally between the gate structure and the first source/drain electrode.

  • Publication number: 20250058490
    Abstract: System and method for producing resilient planks are described. A die punch press is provided to receive and die punch resilient slabs into planks. Die punching the resilient slabs into plural planks can sometimes create a deformity on at least one bottom edge of the plank. The planks are then automatically conveyed from the die punch press to a shaping tool. The shaping tool receives individual planks and forms at least one bevel in the respective plank removing the deformity. The planks can then be stacked and prepared for shipping.

  • Publication number: 20240396228
    Abstract: Two-dimensional (2D) phased-array antenna panels having contoured edges. When combined with like 2D phased-array antenna panels to form a 2D phased-array antenna module, antenna elements located along each contoured edge of a given 2D antenna panel are separated by a first distance from a corresponding antenna element located along a contoured edge of an adjacent 2D antenna panel. The first distance being equal to the distance between adjacent antenna elements on the same 2D antenna panel.
