  • Patent number: 8592998
    Abstract: Anchor designs for thin film packages are disclosed that, in a preferred embodiment are a combination of SiGe-filled trenches and Si-oxide-filled spacing. Depending on the release process, additional manufacturing process steps are performed in order to obtain a desired mechanical strength. For aggressive release processes, additional soft sputter etch and a Ti—TiN interlayer in the anchor region may be added. The ratio of the total SiGe—SiGe anchor area to the SiO2—SiGe anchor area determines the mechanical strength of the anchor. If this ratio is larger than 1, the thin film package reaches the MIL-standard requirements.

  • Patent number: 8588686
    Abstract: A Method and system for remote power distribution and networking for passive devices is provided. In this regard, a sensor comprising a leaky wave antenna may be powered utilizing energy from a radio frequency signal received via the leaky wave antenna. The sensor may be operable to recover a baseband signal from the received radio frequency signal. The sensor may be operable to generate one or more sensor readings in response to the received baseband signal. The sensor may be operable to communicate the sensor reading to a source of the received radio frequency signal via a backscattered signal. The backscattered signal may be generated by controlling spacing between surfaces of the leaky wave antenna. The backscattered signal may be generated by switching a load in and out of a receive path of the sensor and/or by switching between a plurality of feed points of the leaky wave antenna.
