  • Patent number: 10256863
    Abstract: An integrated radio frequency (RF) circuit structure may include a resistive substrate material and a switch. The switch may be arranged in a silicon on insulator (SOI) layer supported by the resistive substrate material. The integrated RF circuit structure may also include an isolation layer coupled to the SOI layer. The integrated RF circuit structure may further include a filter, composed of inductors and capacitors. The filter may be arranged on a surface of the integrated RF circuit structure, opposite the resistive substrate material. In addition, the switch may be arranged on a first surface of the isolation layer.

  • Patent number: 8614110
    Abstract: A method is provided to create a proof mass supported by a dual-suspension system for Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) using crystalline silicon. The pre-fabricated cavity method decreases the subsequent processing required to create the final mechanical structure including the proof mass and dual-suspension system. During processing, the proof mass may be connected to a support structure via tethered regions, which are removed subsequent to proof mass formation.
