Abstract: An array of III-V material transistors singulated from a Si or SiC wafer disposed on a stretchable tape compatible with pick and place tools and a method of forming same.

Abstract: A method for creating at least one cavity in a semiconductor substrate including the steps of: (a) partially ablating the semiconductor substrate from the top side with a laser to form a trench in the semiconductor substrate surrounding a cross section of the semiconductor material having the desired shape, (b) machining the backside of the semiconductor substrate partially ablated in step (a) to reduce the semiconductor substrate to a final thickness that is equal to or less than the laser ablation depth to form a plug of semiconductor material unattached to a remainder of the semiconductor substrate; and (c) removing the plug of semiconductor material from the semiconductor substrate to form the at least one cavity with cross section of desired shape extending through the semiconductor substrate.

Abstract: A method for determining a level of solar radiation at a point of interest (POI). Multiple sky images are captured by a distributed network of digital cameras. Sun location parameters are determined. A three-dimensional (3D) sky model is generated based on the sky images. Generating the 3D sky model includes generating 3D object data based on the sky images to model one or more objects in a region of sky, and generating position data to model a position of the one or more objects in the region of sky. A level of solar radiation at the POI is determined based on the position data and 3D object data of the 3D sky model and the sun location parameters.
