Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide a nanomagnetic structure and method of making the same, comprising a device substrate, a plurality of nanomagnetic composite layers disposed on the device substrate, wherein an adhesive layer is interposed between each of the plurality of nanomagnetic composite layers. Metal windings are integrated within the plurality of nanomagnetic composite layers to form an inductor core, wherein the nanomagnetic structure has a thickness ranging from about 5 to about 100 microns.

Abstract: A 3D chip package is disclosed that includes a carrier substrate with a first cavity and a second cavity formed therein. A first structure is attached to the carrier substrate at least partially in the first cavity, and a second structure is attached to the carrier substrate at least partially in the second cavity, where the first and second structures include electrical circuitry. A shield layer may be disposed between the carrier substrate and the first structure and/or the second structure for isolating the first structure and/or the second structure at least one of electrically, magnetically, optically, or thermally. In some embodiments, the shield layer may be a dielectric shield layer for dielectrically coupling the first structure and the second structure. The first structure and the second structure may be homogeneous or heterogeneous.

Abstract: Plasma systems with magnetic filter devices to alter film deposition/etching characteristics by altering the effective magnetic field distribution. The magnetic filter devices are placed between the magnet or magnets and a target, typically a semiconductor wafer, and selected and configured to alter the magnetic field to obtain the desired processing results. For deposition, the magnetic filter may be chosen to provide more uniform deposition, to provide increased deposition rates at or adjacent the edges of a wafer to compensate for increased etching rates at the edges of a wafer in a subsequent etching or polishing process. For annealing and doping, the magnetic field may be altered to provide more uniform equivalent annealing or doping across the wafer. Various applications are disclosed.

Abstract: An emergency notification and directional signaling apparatus includes an alarm remotely mountable from and responsive to an emergency event detector and alarm. The remote alarm activates one of a supplementary visual and audible alarm which may include one or more different colored lights, one of which is a pulsed strobe, and an audible sound which may include a recorded voice message. A temperature sensor in the remote alarm housing activates a second notification and signaling event when the ambient temperature surrounding the remote alarm reaches a preset threshold. The remote alarm may be mounted in a portable housing, on a faceplate of an existing wall electrical junction box, or in an electrical duplex body mounted in a junction box.
