  • Publication number: 20240162663
    Abstract: A connector for use with high-speed signals. The connector has a housing, which includes conductive elements held in a row by a housing. Each conductive element includes a thinner portion and a thicker portion. The conductive elements are configured to make contact with a mating component at the thicker portions. The thinner portions are closer to mating ends of respective conductive elements than respective thicker portions. The housing is configured to provide voids selectively disposed underneath the conductive elements. Such a configuration increases impedances for the conductive elements at locations that would otherwise have lower impedance and therefore reduces impedance variations along signal transmission paths. Such a configuration can also reduce stub size and therefore reduce insertion loss. Such a configuration meets signal integrity requirements in connectors designed for 64 Gbps and beyond, while conforming to a standard that constrains mating and mounting interfaces.

  • Patent number: 11929446
    Abstract: Provided is a preparation method of a detector material. The present disclosure epitaxially grows a buffer layer on a surface of a gallium arsenide substrate, deposits a silicon dioxide layer on the buffer layer, and etches the silicon dioxide layer on the buffer layer according to a strip pattern by photolithography and etching to form strip growth regions with continuous changes in width. Finally, a molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) technology is used to epitaxially grow the detector material in the strip growth regions under set epitaxy growth conditions. Because of the same mobility of atoms arriving at the surface of the substrate, numbers of atoms migrating to the strip growth regions are different due to different widths of the strip growth regions, such that compositions of the material change with the widths of the strip growth regions or a layer thickness changes with the widths of the strip growth regions.
